I have seen issues when I link a preset ("Preset Recall") to a Song, and then change the order of the presets, and the relationship/link between the song and preset essentially breaks. I've also seen issues where I've created a new preset (in the User list, next available slot), and then immediately try to link it to a Song (Preset Recall), and it is not available to be selected until I turn the unit off/on, switch songs, and then go back to that song to setup the preset recall. I only use the User Preset setlist, and do not setup Play lists (for songs). Seems like there are bugs if you decide to change the presets order, if they are part of a "Preset Recall" within a Song.

Yes, I have reported the same issue. Hopefully to be fixed in future firmware update. File a support ticket so visibility is raised for this issue.

FIXED. A factory reset did NOT resolve it. This may be a bug. I discovered that if the delay's "mix" parameter is not different between the two Snapshots then it effectively turns off the delay when switching between snapshots (although it remains as "on" on the screen). Once I changed the mix parameter (20% in snapshot 1 and 30% in snapshot 2), the delay worked properly in both snapshots. Then, when I reset the delay mix parameter to be the same value, the delay stops working when you change snapshots. I am experiencing this issue with the Elephant Man delay, and haven't tested it across all of the other delays. I also didn't have time to test if changing any other delay parameters has the same effect.

Yeah, I am very familiar with that parameter and it is on. Just doesn't make sense. Guess I'll try a factory reset and restore from backup.

Having an issue with Delay blocks stopping to work when switching between snapshots. I've setup a new preset and loaded in a single amp and the Elephant Man delay which is working fine. I then assign two switches (via Command Center) to be snapshots (1 and 2). I leave the delay on, and then switch to snapshot 2 and the delay stops working (but is still activated/"on" on the screen). I then switch back to snapshot 1 and the delay is still not working. Turning the delay block off/on, or editing any parameters does not resolve the problem. Editing the delay block in Focus mode DOES turn the delay effect back on (I can audibly hear it) on, but as soon as I change the snapshot, it renders the delay inoperative (yet it remains "on" on the screen). I can just pick each delay going down the list, and it loads fine, but stops working as soon as I switch the snapshot. This is also happening within presets I have imported from my HX Stomp as well as within brand new presets. Rebooting does not resolve the issue. Interestingly, i do have some presets in which this doesn't happen. I am baffled, as I've been playing this for weeks and it's been fine. I think I have seen other posts on this forum with users having the same issue. Is anybody aware of this and/or are their recommendations to fix? Thanks

You can already do this with the recent midi implementation updates for Showcase. I can send midi messages from OnSong (from iPad and with Widi adapter on Stadium) to load presets and/or songs. If OnSong can do it, any other app should be able to.

I have. It's not Snapshot Return Mode (I am not having an issue where pressing a button changes the footswitch mode). It is the Snapshot Reselect. It doesn't seem to work with Snapshot switches created/assigned in Command Center. Works fine if in Snapshot mode.

Sorry, I might not have explained it correctly. With the "Automatic" Snapshot recall...you should be able to click the same switch and have it jump back to the prior snapshot. Example: - switch 1 = snapshot 1 - switch 2 = snapshot 2 If the Stadium is set on snapshot 1, the user presses switch 2 to change it to snapshot 2. If desired, the User can then press switch 2 again and it recalls the prior snapshot (in this case, snapshot 1). This is not related to the "Discard Edits" setting. This works fine for me if I'm in a "Snapshots" view/switch configuration. However, I'm in "Stomp A" mode/view, and setup two snapshots switches using Command Center. In this case, it does not seem to work. Wondering if it's a bug, or if there's a setting I'm missing.

New Stadium owner here (coming from HX Stomp). As such, this might be a user error. I'm having an issue whereby the automatic Snapshot Recall does not work for two switches where I assigned them to Snapshot 1 and Snapshot 2 using Command Center. This is in the "Stomp A" view and I customized two switches (Snapshot 1 and 2), where both switches go to each snapshot on press (as expected). However, if I reselect a switch it does not recall the former snapshot (and I have selected "Automatic" Recall in the Global Settings). There is also no secondary command assigned to each switch. If I switch into "Snapshot" layout it works fine. Is there a setting I'm missing in how I setup the switches in Command Center?

Done. ;-)

Great discussion. Being able to recall songs via midi (with an associated Preset) will be critical for me (and I suspect others). I may delay purchasing the Stadium until I know this feature has been added. In my small acoustic duo, I use OnSong on an iPad to send PC changes to my devices (BeatBuddy, HX Stomp, and Rc500 looper (backing tracks)) for each/every song. I then use a Morningstar MC8 to control these devices while performing the song. My intent is/was for the Stadium to replace the HX Stomp, RC500, and Morningstar (smaller footprint and less complexity). I go into every gig with a pre-built setlist (in OnSong), but invariably every show is different and we make changes on-the-fly depending on the vibe in the room, audience requests, etc. In those situations, all I need to do is select the song in OnSong, and it loads the beats and/or backing tracks and presets across all my devices - no menu diving, no tap dancing. I get that I could build Setlists (presets) or Playlists (songs) in Stadium, but those don't seem to easily allow for flexibility when ad-hoc set list changes are taking place. The internal Set Lists/Play Lists probably will work fine for larger shows with pre-defined lists that won't likely change. For smaller acts, we're going to need flexibility to call up songs (with associated presets) in a much more flexible manner. Showcase has such promise to help smaller acts add new elements to their shows and I hope Line6 can incorporate features that meet the needs of both large and small acts/performers.

Then I hope this is something that gets addressed in a future update. As a performer, I cannot be bending down and scrolling through Songs to load them...or clicking the arrow buttons 20 times to get to the 21st song in my list. Being able to recall both Presets and Songs via midi is a must. Or, maybe an option would be to use and Instant Command to load the Song when you recall a Preset? I did see that you create Set list of Songs. Are Song and Present Setlist different? Or, can a Setlist contain both Songs and Presets?

In the Showcase demos, it seems that you can currently only select and load (queue) a Song in the "Song view" screen (or by using the arrow buttons in the transport mode to select prior/next song). However, it does seem that you can "save" a Preset to a Song. As such.. if you recall the PRESET via midi, then does that also queue up the Song it is associated with? Or do Preset recalls stay independent of Songs? I had planned on buying the Stadium floor, in large part due to Showcase. I will need to recall presets via midi (as I do with my HX Stomp today), and hoped that associated Songs would then also be queued up in that process (I only use a handful of backing tracks in my current setup, so every Preset wouldn't necessarily have a Song). It doesn't seem like the current Showcase capability allows for Songs to be called up via an external Midi command (maybe that will be a future software release?). It'd be great to understand how this will work before purchasing (at this stage). Basically, do Present recalls also load associated Songs? Or, will users eventually be able to load Songs (via a Midi command), which will then also recall/load the associated Preset? Any current Stadium XL users try this with Showcase?

+100% for enabling Matrix mixer settings pre preset. To me this will be important when Showcase arrives, to enable the user to make adjustments at the gig if the mix of tracks is not working. I'll be curious to see if the matrix mixer settings can be saved "per song" in Showcase, or if it will still be a global setting. I do see tremendous value in levelling all presets and backing tracks as much as possible. When Showcase arrives, it'd also be very handy to be able to control the overall mix level/output of SONGS with the expression pedal.

Yes, it would be great to level all of the BeatBuddy beats and looper tracks (we never run both at the same time). However, this is much easier said than done (especially with BeatBuddy), and every room/audience is different, so having ability to dynamically control the "Showcase" tracks output volume with the expression pedal would be preferred An alternative would be just to send it out on the 1/4" jacks and hook up an external volume pedal. For BeatBuddy, I had envisioned running it into one of the "Returns" of the Stadium, and then adding a volume pedal block to that channel to actively manage that level with the expression pedal. For small time guys like me, mixing from the stage, being able to control those output volumes with the expression pedal is key to mixing in these external elements/audio sources (while also playing guitar, singing, etc.). If we had a sound guy, etc. this would be less of an issue. Thanks for the feedback and ideas.
