M9 - Auto Save or Manual?

I thought this was a no brainer... I set everything to AutoSave and BOOM, I'm in business!   However, if I hit the correct series of buttons I can easily change what is there... then, when I go to it something other than what I'm looking for is there!   So... I suppose I need to go back to Manual... I am assuming it won't be so easy to change stuff this way because I would have to actually go through the Save procedure to make changes stick.

 

If this is not the case, someone correct me before I change everything!

    Re: M9 - Auto Save or Manual?

    If you want the M9 to behave in a way that's similar to the 4-button stomp (or really any other multi-fx with presets), you'll want it on manual save.  That way you can change as much as you want in a scene, but if you decide you don't want to save those changes, you can change scenes, come back to the original scene and it will be like it was before you made any changes.  In autosave mode, everything you do in a scene is automatically saved.  So it's meant to imitate the way actual stompboxes work - if you turn the knobs, they stay where you put them.

      Re: M9 - Auto Save or Manual?

      Ok... last week, I put all the scenes back the way I had them.  Each time I was done building the scene, I did the manual Save.  Once I completed all 6, I went back to document what I had done...  each scene was there and I just recorded what was where into an Excel spreadsheet and I would use this at a gig until I get used to the set up.   Got to the gig last Saturday and all the scenes were back to the way they were before I did anything the night before!   When I did the save, I got the correct displays that indicate it is saving (don't remember them all now, but they looked like the examples in the manual).  So, to me, that means I changed everything and saved correctly.  What could have happened to reset?   Is the manual missing a step?

        Re: M9 - Auto Save or Manual?

        What I do with the M13 (should be the same on the M9) is think of autosave as 'programming mode' and manual save as 'performance mode.': When setting the thing up, put it in autosave. Set up your scene, switch to another scene, switch back. Make sure that it is the way you left it. It's saved. Go on to setup the next scene. When you're done...last thing you do...put it in manual save mode.

        Re: M9 - Auto Save or Manual?

        Ok...  it was operator error... obviously I had changed a couple of things thinking I was somewhere else and hence my confusion.  Upon through examination, everything except one or two patches on one or two scenes, was exactly as I had documented it.  I really hate being a *******...
