Here's a simple step- by step recipe how I got this to happen:

 

1. open HD edit with the POD HD500 connected to your computer

2 create a patch and copy said patch onto a different bank within the same setlist.

3. in the new (copied) patch change the volume (amp channel) to a higher or lower setting so that the increase or decrease of volume is clearly noticeable

4. save new patch and hit 'send selected'

5. close HD edit

6. still on the bank of the new patch (the one with changed volume) switch on your HD unit to another patch within the same bank and then back to the patch you had saved

7. check if the HD 'kept' the volume change or if it went back to the volume setting you had previously (before chaging it).

I haven't yet tried to replicate this because the recipe is a little confusing and ambiguous to me. Specifically, in steps 2 and 3 it's not clear whether you are using HD500 Edit or the HD500 device iself to create/edit the patch. This can definitely make a difference in terms of the edit buffer(s) being used and which buffer/device (computer or HD500) is being auditioned.

Your description of Step 4 is also ambiguous. Are you using the SAVE function on the HD500 device, or in HD500 Edit? The results are quite different - the former makes a change to the HD500 device; the latter creates/updates a file on your computer.

The bottom line is that things can get very confusing and unpredictable if you are using both HD500 Edit and the HD500 device itself to make changes. I'm not sure whether you want to pursue this given that the problem does not seems to be consistently respoducible, based on your last post. Personally, unless you are able to reproduce it consistently, using one device or the other and not both, I would put it down to an anomaly created by using both devices simultaneously. And I would forget about it.

Hi Lars you can change the file type in windows 7 in the following way.

Double click on "My Computer" then click on the Organize button near the top left of the window.

Next you need to click on the "folder and search options" menu item.

Next Click on the view tab and in the list that comes up take the tick out of the box that says "Hide extensions for known file types"

Now find your patch file and right click on it. Select rename file from the list and at the end of the file name put something like .png (this makes it into a file that can be uploaded.

Then upload your file.

After you have don't that you can follow the above instructions and put the tick back in the box to hide the file extensions if you want.

GOOD LUCK

Kind regards
