Snapshot-Stomp mode question

[davidc2478]

Hey guys, forgive me if this was asked already. I have my snapshots set up the way I like. If a song on the fly comes up, I want to be able to go into Stomp mode and click on whatever effects I want without overwriting my snapshots. Kind of like keeping snapshot/stomp independent. Is this possible?

[PaulTBaker]

yes, click the mode button to go into stomp mode and you can access all of the blocks that are tied to a button.  You can also combine stomps and snapshots in stomp mode using the control center view.  I do that alot. he has some great vids on how to set this up.  good luck!

In Global Settings>Preferences>Snapshot Edits can be set to RECALL or DISCARD.

RECALL retains the Snapshot changes until you switch Presets.

DISCARD reloads the SAVED Snapshot configuration when you switch Snapshots.

In either case, the changes are only permanent if you SAVE the Preset.

So I have my preset setup with snapshots that I use for a single song.

If there is a impromtu last second song requested, I would like to click on preset-stomp and turn on/off effects to match the new song. Now lets say, that song finishes, I would like to go back to my snapshots without them being affected by what was done in preset-stomp mode. Can I do this?

Yes, that's what I described using the Snapshot Edits setting.

Ah ok I get it now. That works for me! Too bad it's global as opposed to effective per preset. I appreciate the info! Thanks!

Huh?

 

A Global setting means it is effective on each Preset across the entire device. Provided that you don’t SAVE any changes you make, then everything remains the same.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Exactly, this setting affects all presets. But what if I had a singular preset where I wanted this setting to be "active", and my others presets I don't care if what is done in stomp mode affects the snapshot. More of a curiosity than a want or desire for me.

Then you make the setting active. It works in the one preset you want, and since you don’t care about the other presets it doesn’t matter.

 

Personally, I decide on the snapshot edit behaviour based on whether I am primarily editing or playing in any given session. When editing, especially if editing snapshots, I set it to Recall so that I can navigate among presets without having to Save the preset each time I change Snapshots. I tend to leave it there because while playing I don’t usually even have the edit program active - everything is done on the device. If I do have the editor running while playing I set it to Discard.
