Yeah, I made a feature request over a year ago. Can we get an update from someone at Line 6?

I've been out of the loop for a while - Did this go anywhere? Are there updates that adresses this?

Yeah, everyone works differently, but I (my band) try to be as seem-less as possible between songs. Most of the time our transitions are not noticeable. Stopping and resetting scenes/FX will not always work without creating that hiccup. I'm working on having crucial transition songs/sounds all within one scene/bank and only changing when there's a long enough break between songs. A more seem-less transition/flow between scenes would really open up the unit to be used to full potential. Then again, maybe I should just become a bass player...

Yeah, that would be cool too... never thought about it. Trails between scenes would be a great addition.

But, is it even possible to fix that with a firmware update?

Maybe that's a feature requiring more DSP power (like the GSP1101 that uses 2 AudioDNA to achieve this). As I understand, when you switch scenes you are wiping all models and loading everything from start, so maybe the trails thing would require a different approach to it.

I hope not and we actually get all these great ideas come to life on the next (hopefully soon) update.

+1 here too. Trailing delay tails/EFX between SCENE switching would be helpful too. This would allow smoother use of multiple scenes within one song. Kinda clunky now.

Count me in.

The M13 is THE multiFx I was looking for, but there's still room for some improvements, and global tempo is one of them.

I realized this when I started using more than one scene, since at first I was using just one basic scene, good-old-stombox-style.

I haven't tried syncing with external clock (MacBook Pro running Live or something else), but I don't think it's a good solution for live work. I prefer all-hardware for that kind of situation.

I've already filled the request so, let's hope Line6 is listening (and working it).

Phil,

FYI I have done this, and it works pretty good for delays, but it has two big problems for this.

1) Without global it takes a second for the clock to update when you switch scenes, so it sounds weird every switch.

2) With all effects that need the downbeat set, the midi clock doesn't set the downbeat, so you have to rehit the tap switch to set the downbeat. I think this is a big problem in using this whether in latch mode, or just for using trems and pattern.

I don't think that there's really any need to do away with scene specific tempos, but an override option would be a serious upgrade for those of us who like to take detours in the music and need to remain at a constant tempo...

Feature Request sent... Please, everyone should send requests for this!!!
