I really wanted to use the Stadium XL for my upcoming tour to enjoy the new Agoura amps, but for now, I have to put it aside. To be honest, it is quite disappointing and I never expected this feature to be missing, as it was such a helpful part of the original Helix. I have a repertoire of about fifty songs, all automated via DAW using global MIDI footswitch emulation. For my specific workflow, Snapshots are not a solution. I need granular control mid-song, where different combinations of blocks turn on and off at specific moments. Re-programming all fifty songs with individual MIDI CCs for every single block would be a massive amount of work. Instead of sending one command to toggle a footswitch that controls multiple blocks, I would have to send up to five separate messages every time. Furthermore, even if I wanted to redo this work, the interface makes it difficult. When I touch a footswitch, the screen only displays two of the many assigned bypass or parameter functions. This makes it impossible to see everything assigned to a single switch at a glance, further complicating the process. This functionality is very important for my setup and how I perform. Line 6, please consider bringing global MIDI footswitch emulation back to the Stadium XL!

I sent several emails to Yamaha support (https://line6.com/company/contact/productfeedback/) about various bugs, but I didn't receive any feedback, only an automated reply saying my request had been accepted. Did any of you get a response?

Please bring this feature back! I'm a touring musician, and I've been using Ableton Live for years to tweak the stompbox switching mechanism. Snapshots aren't suitable for me, as I switch a lot during songs. And redesigning each unit's bypass for MIDI would take me weeks...
