I'd really like a way of preventing snapshots from affecting parameters that are assigned to controllers. Like turning off snapshot bypass, but at the parameter level.
My use case is a little out there, but here goes: I have song-based presets that I've set up to be used in either 4CM or direct (long story, but I just like having options and it was a fun exercise to figure out). The heart of it is a footswitch labelled "Direct" that turns off the FX loop—where my amp is—and turns on the amp/IR blocks at the same time. These blocks have snapshot bypass turned off, so if I'm at a gig where I can't use my amp, I just save my preset with the Direct switch turned on ahead of time and I can use the one set of verse/chorus/etc. snapshots either way.
What I also want to do is use this switch to change the levels of the two output blocks, i.e. when the 1/4" going to the amp is at 0dB, the XLR going to the PA is at -120dB and vice versa. I also want it to collapse stereo effects to mono when using 4CM, e.g. turning spread down to 0. The problem is now that those parameters are assigned to the switch, the snapshots now consider them legitimate targets. If I hit the direct switch on my preset prepped for 4CM, the 1/4" output correctly mutes, but when I hit the next snapshot in the song, it reverts.
I'm working around it by using two sets of effects and gain blocks at the end of the two chains, but ideally I need the option to divorce those parameters from the snapshots entirely.
Also, I would kill to get the Hot Cake in my Helix.
