volume and pan of the entire Patch.
PATCH NAME
You can assign a name of up to 12 characters to the Patch.

The Patch Search function uses this setting. This setting also 
determines the phrase that will be sounded by the Phrase 
Preview function.
PATCH CLOCK
Some parameters allow you to set a time value in terms of a 
note length which is determined by a tempo setting or tempo 
source you specify; Rate parameters (PATCH/ LFO/ LFO1, 
2), Time parameter (PATCH/WAVE/TONE DELAY), and 
some Multi-Effects parameters. This Patch Clock setting sets 
the tempo which can be used by these parameters.
* When using a Patch in Performance mode, the setting of this 
parameter will be ignored, and the setting of the PERFORM 
CLOCK display (PERFORM/COMMON) will be used instead.
Source (Patch Clock Source)
Select the source of the Patch Clock.
PATCH:
Synchronize to the Patch Tempo setting.
SYSTEM:
 Synchronize to the tempo clock of the sequencer.
* The Patch Clock does not transmit clock messages from MIDI 
OUT connector.
Tempo (Patch Tempo)
Set the Patch Tempo setting.
* When Source (Patch Clock Source) is set to SYSTEM, 
synchronization will be according to the tempo clock of the 
system, so it will not be possible to set the tempo value. The 
tempo of the system will be displayed in parentheses (   ).
