Snapshot Confusion/Not working in HXEdit/What am I missing?

[nickfynn]

I've read the manual and watched Jason Sadites. But Snapshots still confuse me:

 

Say I want to change the amp parameter "Med" from 5 in Snapshot 1 to 10 in snapshot 2.

 

In HX Edit, I set it to 5 in snapshot 1, then I move to Snapshot 2, and then move Med to 10. I hit save (once? Twice?)

 

Then, I switch back to Snapshot 1, and that now ALSO has Med=10. So, HXEdit method seems not to work.

 

If I do it directly on floor unit, it forces me to assign a footswitch to "Med" before I can control it with snapshots. What's the point of having a footswitch assigned to Med? It seems like I must be missing something big here - which one of you rocket scientists can fix me?

 

Happy Holidays everyone.

You have to assign the parameter to Snapshots first.

Also - in Global>Preferences>Snapshot Edits if you set it to RECALL, then after you edit all of your Snapshots you save the preset once. If you set it to DISCARD then you need to save the preset after editing EACH snapshot. When set to RECALL, when playing, any change to a preset will remain until you change presets. When set to DISCARD, the changes will be lost when you change Snapshots. IOW - when EDITING, set Snapshot Edits to RECALL and save ONCE, or set to DISCARD and save before editing the next Snapshot.
