How to move a preset to a different button in the same setlist

[dhassman]

I've set up a setlist but am not satisfied with the positions that the presets appear on the pedalboard.  Can I mover or copy/paste a preset from one location to another so that the buttons are where I want them?

The easiest way to do this is in HX Edit. Just drag/drop the preset to its new destination. Other presets will be automatically rearranged appropriately.

 

You can do it directly on the device without HX Edit but it’s more annoying, and involves using an empty buffer location as a holding space so you don’t lose anything. It becomes MUCH more annoying if you need to rearrange multiple presets.

I keep all of my presets exported individually to my hard drive so I can load them into a setlist in any order I want for each performance.

I had only tried using HX Edit but didn't see a way to drag/drop, which is what I was hoping to do.  But I think I'm not asking the question correctly - still getting familiar with the terminology.

 

So I think what I'm really trying to do is move a snapshot, not a preset. So for a single preset, I have 8 snapshots and want to move one of those to a different button.

Found it.  From the Snapshots menu, Copy Snapshot and Paste Snapshot.

I do exactly as Dragon.  I back each preset up manually using the export function in HX-Edit. 

 

Btw, you can backup multiple presets at one time into individual files by highlighting them as a group in HX Edit and then hitting the 'Export' link for presets.

 

You can also now just run an 'Extract Files From Backup' (under the 'File' heading in HX Edit) and it will automatically extract all your presets into a nice logical file structure. Just create a new backup before you run the extract. Couldn't be easier.
