button with multi-assigned parameter toggle mixing high / low settings when switching snapshots

[jbaker8935]

have hx stomp where i want to have 2 gain modes on a drive pedal that i can toggle with footswitch 2.   the button is assigned to change gain, tone, level, and mode between the two 'low gain' and 'high gain' settings. got it working ....

but if i change snapshots, the button toggle now scrambles the state of those parameters.   ie, with button 'off' some of the gain values are at the high value and some are at the low value. and vice versa.

 

i already have another multi assign button that is toggling verb/echo params which works fine with snapshots.

what gives?

this has to have been covered earlier, but my search came up empty.

Hi

You should attach your preset to your message 

 

Maybe you saved a snapshot with the switch off, the second with switch on etc.. it could be your problem but it would be easier to answer after seeing your preset

Yes, check how it's saved in your snapshots.  And also I believe you want to set your snapshot setting to "recall" rather than "discard".  As far as I understand, "recall" means all the values in the snapshot will return to what they should be, as you saved them.  You are in a snapshot 1.  You bypass a bunch of blocks somehow, manually or with stomp buttons.  Re-enter the same snapshots and everything is just as it was.  Maybe try toggling that setting.  I don't fully understand what it does, but I tried with the "discard" and for me it was doing weird things and messing up my presets during editing... and I edit things a lot. 

 

I personally avoid assigning a block to both snapshots and an expression pedal / button.  Because for me sometimes the on/off state of the block used to flip backwards.  Like with the wah, it would remain on when it should be off.  It was a fluke, and would happen every once in a blue moon on 3.11.  Now I either assign a block to snapshots, or expression pedal, but never both at the same time.

The Snapshot Recall or Discard parameter applies while editing different snapshots within a preset. When set to Recall, individual snapshot edits are retained while you navigate between snapshots until you switch to another preset. Discard means that any edits are not retained when you switch to another snapshot. In both cases, you need to SAVE the preset before leaving it in order to retain any changes. As always, a preset is recalled in the state in which it was last saved.

But turning blocks on/off is kind-of changing of the snapshots, isn't it?

Yes, it is. Check the Snapshot Bypass setting for the FX block. The Bypass On setting seems to override the Discard setting.

Here is the preset.

the min and max settings for footswitch 2 get scrambled,  some min & some max when i toggle footswitch
