4. “EXP2/FS” selection panel next page has a “BANK SEL MODE” option.

You can select Ampero’s bank select mode when using Ampero Switch as a bank switcher. “Bank Sel Mode” lets you select from two modes: Initial
and Wait.

In Initial mode, Ampero will jump to a new patch immediately after switching a bank.
In Wait mode, when switching banks, the patch you’re using won’t be changed (footswitch LEDs on Ampero will keep flashing by
default) until you tap a footswitch again to confirm your selection.

Reminder: When using Ampero Switch as a bank switcher in Wait mode, please set Ampero or Ampero One’s three footswitches tap function to
“Patch1”, “Patch2”, “Patch3” for the best possible user experience (This is the default setting of Ampero. Ampero One users can set it by
themselves).
