Mode Flow - Stomp -> Preset -> Stomp

[leond60]

Getting ready to take my Stomp XL on its first gig and I'm trying to work thru the flow from one mode to another.  Currently, I'll be in Stomp Mode.  I'll step on the Mode footswitch and it brings me to Preset Mode.  I'll select a different preset.  And the pedal stays on the Preset Mode screen.  I have to hit the Mode footswitch again to get back to the Stomp Mode.

 

What I'd like to do is from the Stomp Mode, hit the Mode footswitch to go into the Preset Mode, select a new preset and go right back into Mode without hitting the Mode footswitch again.

 

Not sure if this is possible.  I've looked around but couldn't find anything.  Any help is much appreciated.  Thx.

Any help with this?

Why not organize your presets in order of your set?  
 

That’s the most practical workflow. Create as many presets as the songs you are playing. Order them according to the set list. Use the up/down buttons to switch to appropriate presets. The up/down buttons exists for this specific purpose. 
 

you can change what the up/down buttons do….

I looked at the manual and on page 12 it says this on the second "note"

 

*NOTE: If you don’t want the Preset footswitches to disappear after selecting one,
set the “Global Settings > Footswitches” > Preset Mode parameter to “Latch.” In this
case, HX Stomp XL stays in Preset footswitch mode until you press MODE (Edit/Exit).

 

I believe this is the opposite of what you want but there's several pages that talk about the modes and I only skimmed through them. I do not own an HX Stomp or HX Stomp XL. So start on page 12 of the manual and see if there's more info. Again, I don't own one so I can't give you any more info.

Hi,

 

Maybe the Command Centre can be the way to get your XL what you want it to do. Theoretically, you can assign anything to anything.

 

I have posted Steve Sterlacci's video about doing this stuff many times, but here ya go -one more time.

 

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Thanks for the replies.  I started that video a while back but gave up part way thru as most of the info seemed way more than I needed.  I'll revisit it.

 

I also tried going thru the manual first but nothing I read seemed to address what I was looking for.

 

The only time I'm not in stomp mode is when I change presets.  And I only used two presets (on a gig).  I view each preset like a different pedal board.  From stomp mode, I press the mode switch which brings me into preset mode and I select my other preset.  At this point, I'd like to turn individual effects on or off but I need to press the mode switch again to bring me into stomp mode.

 

(In reality, this isn't the end of the world.  I'm usually not changing presets in the middle of a song.  I'm just trying to tap into the full potential of the Stomp XL.)

 

Thanks again for your help.

I feel your pain.  I have the floor and the stomp xl.  I would love to be able to be in stomp mode, hit mode to change to a different preset, and have it pop back to stomp mode.  IIRC, it would do that for snapshot modes (maybe not though).

 

One thing I recently did sounds like it may work for you since you are only using two presets.  I used the command center to make FS2 go to a certain preset.  On that preset, I used command center to have FS2 go back to the original preset... and Voila, you can stay in stomp mode and go to 2 different presets.  You could also have the FS go next or prev.  The only downside is you lose a footswitch to turn a stomp on/off.  To me, that loss was worth it on my Floor.  I may do the same with my Stomp XL.

 

Give this a try, it is pretty easy to do and it may help!  Good luck.

Thanks for the tip.  I'll give it a try.
