Thomnils014 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Can I change the setting of a preset to test different setting without destroy the patch? When I try to edit in POD HD500X EDIT the patch is edited as soon I change something. I would prefer to be able to test and if I find it nice I would like to save otherwise just leave. But the patch is edited as far I change something in the patch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 To restore the patch settings without saving changes, simply select another patch (leave it, as you say, and the changed settings are discarded) and then return to the original patch.

But the patch is edited as far I change something in the patch.. Yes, you can.. What silverhead said is perfectly valid when it comes to editing patches directly on the device. As for the behavior of the Editor, it temporarily keeps in memory (until you close the program) all the edits made to all the patches present read from the device. However, as long as you do not use the SEND command of the Editor the original patches present in the POD are never modified, so if you close the editor without using the above command, you will find then all the patches in the device exactly as they were previously. The main difference between the behavior of the POD (alone) and the Editor is that in the POD (with no Editor running) when you select and edit a patch its data are copied to 1 volatile buffer, and changes to the current patch are made permanent only if you use the SAVE command, otherwise they are lost and the original patch data remains unaltered. As soon as a new patch is selected, its data is copied into the only existing volatile buffery, thus taking the place of the previously selected patch data. The editor, on the other hand, does not have the " just 1 single volatile buffer" limit, but temporarily stores any changes made to all the patches present read, and in any case the original patches contained in the device are not touched in any way until the SEND command is used. Tip: If while using the Editor you edit a patch and at some point want to get it back in the Editor to how it was originally, simply select the patch in the Editor and use the RECEIVE SELECTED command, and the original untouched patch data will be read again from the device. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Your words aren't helping you at all... Can I edit a patch using editing software without editing the patch. However, assuming you mean - Can I change a setting without saving it. YES. Absolutely. But, I find it easier (and safer) to copy a patch I want to edit. That way there are no accidental overwrites.
