Footswitch keeps cycling through snapshots — how to make it select only one?

Is it really that difficult? I’m in snapshot mode and when I hit the button for snapshot 1, I just want only that snapshot to load! For some reason I can’t figure out, no matter how I set up the footswitches, they just keep cycling through.

 

I read somewhere that this was added in a firmware update as some kind of “convenience,” but honestly, it doesn’t feel convenient at all. For example I set it to Behavior: Press/Release, with Press: Snapshot 1, and from what I understand, as soon as I release it jumps to the next snapshot because the release action is set to Next.

 

So what am I supposed to do? Should I also assign Snapshot 1 to the Release action? I even tried that, but it still didn’t work!

How on earth am I supposed to set up each footswitch so that it ONLY triggers the snapshot I want when I press it?!

 

Thank you!

The defaults for Snapshots assigned to Stomp Mode switches is PRESS=NEXT; RELEASE=NONE.

Keep in mind that in the target Snapshot that FS will be set to the defaults.

 

IOW - If the preset loads SS1 and you set a FS in SS1 to PRESS=SS2; RELEASE=NONE, then unless you change it, that FS in SS2 (and all other Snapshots) will be set to the DEFAULTS. You need to manually set the FS to do what you want in EACH Snapshot.

Hi,

 

Well, if you were a HX Stomp user then it is really convenient, simply because of the restrictions imposed by only having 3 foot switches available to use with 8 Snapshots.

 

Steve Sterlacci explains everything in this video (one more time) 

 


 

Maybe a bit of time working through the manual would be helpful.

Hope this helps/makes sense.
