Per Snapshot Parameter Controller Assignment

[Fazly]

Is there a way to make the parameter controller assignment per snapshot and not per preset? I want the expression pedal to control the amp drive in one snapshot without affecting it in the other snapshots. i.e., I want to assign EXP2 to the controller in Snapshot 1, but in my other snapshots, I want the controller to be "None".

Fazly,

 

To start this conversation, I haven't had to check the state of snapshot control for my EXPs, they just work but I do have auto assign engaged for several things in global settings.  You will want to make sure the EXPs are allowed to be controlled by snapshots; I assume nothing so forgive me if this is already within your wheelhouse.

 

What I normally do is have the vol assigned to one EXP (for my example I will say EXP2) and then the "state of a block parameter" assigned to another EXP pedal (for my example I will say EXP1).  I will have EXP1 on (engaged) for the snapshot I want to control a parameter for (in this example the "amp drive").  All the other snapshots will have the EXP1 off (disengaged) and EXP2 on for vol.  The other option is not to have a vol block and just assign one EXP pedal to the amp drive control EXP is on in the one snapshot and off in the rest.

 

I do this for several of my presets based upon the snapshot setting I am controlling.  But like putting on my shoes, there are several alternatives to my use case.  YMMV
