Preset Name instead of Effect Name

[jankoraseta]

Please, please add a mode that will show the Preset Name instead of name of the effect.

 

I am using two external buttons to scroll up and down through the presets.

For the sake of argument, let's imagine I am only using one effect type, PolyPitch.

I can have several presets with various settings saved, but for all of them the display will simply show "PolyPitch" and not my custom Preset Name.

All the different sounds are indistingushable when labeled that way and the only way to navigate is to try them by ear.

This is catastrophic and renders the unit useless for me...

 

(I realize, that the list view is the intended way to do it, but with external footswitches it practically doubles the amount of clicks needed to operate the unit).

 

It gets worse! To see the Preset Name at all I have to enter the list view by pressing both footswitches.

Both footswitches are also needed to access the tuner. It is very easy for one footswitch to slip while holding both of them in order to access the tuner - the pedal will then either enter the list mode or activate a preset.

 

I also wish there was a way to cue the presets with external footswitches from the single effect view.

External footswitches would scrool through presets and the built-in ON footswitch would activate it.

Those behaviours are native to other Helix products and as a seasoned HX Stomp user I can't wrap my head around this not being implemented in HX ONE, especially because of the small form factor.

 

Best,

Janko

Couldn't agree more!

I am having the same frustration. Thanks for posting this. Hopefully there will be a resolution or I am going to return the pedal.

Agreed!  Please allow for external footswith to scroll preset names, then use the ON button to activate (load the preset rather than instant activation).  This would be very very helpful.  The HX Stomp displays the user named preset, why not the same for the HX One.  Thank you.

Hi,

 

Surely this is covered in the HX One Owner’s Manual, page 10.

 

”Adding and editing effects is all well and good, but having presets with all your specific effect and other settings just a tap away can be a faster way to work! Your HX One comes loaded with numerous Factory Presets, which you can recall and use as they are, modify, or completely replace with your own creations (more about Saving presets in the next section). To access HX One’s 128 preset locations, enter Preset Mode.”

 

Then it continues on page 11.

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Thanks, sadly that is not the point.

 

The Preset Mode is not really a “Mode”, but a scroll screen for preset selection and there are multiple issues with it, as described above.

 

Best,

Hi, Janko,

 

Ah, I see.
 

In that case I must point out that there are no Line 6 staff here and only very occasionally do they visit these forums - (See the “sticky comment” in the black banner stripe at the top of this page entitled “Welcome to the Line 6 forums”).

 

This link is where you need to go to have any hope of it been seen by anyone from Line 6:

Before posting any  new ideas, please do a search to see if it's already been listed. Multiple requests for the same thing will thin out the votes. Also, post your ideas one at a time. Many users don’t vote for combined suggestions.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Done, thanks!
