Vidundret Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 This is primarily useful for the HX Stomp. So the way I'm using the Stomp is in snapshot mode, with presets being songs in a setlist. The snapshots typically add delay, a solo boost or something during each song. What happens though is sometimes I accidentally push for example FS2 and FS3 when I wanted snapshot 3. And then panic starts because maybe I then switched to a clean preset when my solo started. So the solution would be to add an optional delay to preset switching in the settings, so I have to push FS2 and FS3 for 2-3 seconds before it activates. Anyone else think this would be a good addition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, for years before snapshots came along we were all griping about the milliseconds of delay between preset changes and the audible dropout that came with it, and now you want to make the delay worse by orders of magnitude? Hard pass... Depending on a song's tempo, you'd be in a constant state of trying to guess how many beats have to go by to cover your 2 or 3 seconds delay window... it would be disastrous. You'll never get it right, every change will end up being too early or too late, and you'll only have succeeded in trading one problem for another. Switching between sounds needs to be instantaneous... you need it when you need it, not 3 seconds in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I'm with cruisinon2. Awful idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly likely, as pointed out by "cruisinon2", people couldn't cope with milliseconds of delay between presets, before snapshots. I would guess you're on your own with this idea.

Vidundret Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 I feel like I was misunderstood maybe? This would only be for the FS2+FS3 double push to bring up the preset bank up/down switching. And like I said, for those who only work this snapshots in mid-song, and the preset switching in between songs where a 2 second delay really isn't a problem. But like you all said, maybe I really am the only one who does this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
