Items Explanation

Patch

A patch is comprised of information about the on/off status and effect parameter settings used in each module.

Bank

A bank is a group of ten patches. VEM Box has 7 banks, labelled with numbers 0 to 3 (unchangeable preset banks) and letters A to d (editable user banks).

Effect module

A patch can be thought of as a combination of up to 8 single effects. Each such effect is referred to as an effect module.

Effect type

Some effect modules have several different effects which are referred to as effect types. Only one of these can be selected at a time.

Effect parameter

All effect modules have various parameters that can be adjusted. These are called effect parameters or simply parameters. When thinking of an effect module as a compact effect, the parameters change the tone and effect intensity similar to the knobs on the device.

Mode

Mode is the status of different function of keys and controls, VEM Box has Patch Mode for selecting and using patches, Loop Mode for recording loop phrase, Edit Mode for modifying effects, and Store Mode for saving patches.
