sirhc Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Hi, as I said in another thread, I am a new user with Line 6 - and just think I understood Snapshots ;) However, I really love to still get most stomps enabled by foot switches, as using a normal pedal board. I love to have MAAANY foot switches ;) I realized, in snapshot mode, I am loosing 4 (!) of the 10 switchs to controll things like bank up /down, Mode and Tab). It also forces me to have 4 switches assigned to snapshots (combo mode), even if I just want to use two or three. There MUST be a way to just assign a snapshot to a foot switch in stomp mode?!? I love stomp mode, because it leaves me two more switches free (bank up/down). I just cannot find the place to assign a snapshot to a foot switch. Should be easy...?

MojoAxe Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 It’s very easy to do. I use a combination of stomps and snapshots on all of my presets, so I keep the unit in combo mode with both the top and bottom rows being stomps. When I want one of the buttons to be a snapshot, I do the following: Select the menu in the upper left of the touch screen (three horizontal lines). Select the Command Center icon. Select the button you wish to program from the screen, then select Preset/Snap from the lower left. Select "Command" and then turn the knob to the far right to "Snapshot". Now turn the Snapshot knob to the desired snapshot number and that's it, the button is now programed to go to the specified snapshot. If you would like to change the name and color of the button, select the camera icon in the upper right of the screen, choose the snapshot you wish to rename, then select "Rename/color" from the screen. PS: You might want to edit the title of this thread LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Sounds great! I am not at the unit right now, but will try this evening! Thanks a lot! Did not use the command center, yet... ...how did you find this solution? Seems like I missed some resources, I should read... EDIT: Found it: Command Center | Line 6 Manuals PS: title changed (I am not a native speaker ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Found it: Command Center | Line 6 Manuals I learned about the Command Center on the old Helix. The Command Center is far easier to use in Stadium than it was in the old Helix. On the Helix, the Command Center button assignments were unique to each snapshot within a preset, which meant that if you wanted to assign 8 snapshots to stomp buttons, you would need to program the 8 assignments within each of the 8 snapshots, or 64 separate button assignments. It was a total pain in the butt. In Stadium, when you make a Command Center button assignment, it works in each of the snapshots, so its very easy and intuitive to use. I read somewhere that its still possible to program Stadium to have unique button assignments within each snapshot, but I don't know how to do it (and I don't want to know how to do it LOL). In all of my presets, I like to have the buttons I use most often along the bottom row for easy access. This means having a mix of Stomps and Snapshots within the same row, which is an easy setup on the Stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 I managed to dial in three snapshots and put them on my controllers in stomp mode within 15 minutes before rehearsal, yesterday :) That is just great! Thanks for the input!!! ..what I found, when dealing with snapshots (sorry, other question.. not sure if i should make new thread?): 1) I press snapshot 1 and play. 2) Add e.g. delay with foot switch. 3) I switch to snapshot 2 4) coming back to snapshot 1: Delay is still on... It seems like, all changes I make while using a snapshot, automatically saves to that snapshot... I am not sure, if I want this... (Still thinking about this). Would there be a possibility to "stop editing mode"? So that if I come back to sanpshot 1, stomps are in their state I defined while setting it up... I also realized, that - no matter what I am doing (e.g. stomp on/off)- the "save" button lights up... this doens't make me feel too good... Thus, the save button is more or less always on, also if I just want to play and are not doing any edits... I think in Kemepr it only lighted up, when I was changing parameters inside the stomps, not while I was just using the rig/preset... I think, I would prefer a clear line between editing/setting up and using a preset. Am I wrong? I might just need to get used to the new thinking and working...?

silverhead Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Check the Discard Edits setting in the Snapshots panel. Set it to Off. This will retain the changes to each Snapshot as you move among them until you Save the preset before moving to a different preset. This Discard Edits setting is the ‘clear line’ you speak of between editing Snapshots and simply using them. Yes, the Save button lights up because switching to a different preset is a change to the preset. The snapshot that is loaded (active) with a change in presets is the snapshot that was active when the preset was last Saved. So switch8g to a different snapshot is a change to the preset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoAxe Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 By default, the snapshots will remember the state it they were in when you last left that snapshot. For instance, if you're in Snapshot 1 and a delay block is ON, then you navigate to Snapshot 2 and turn that block OFF, when you return to Snapshot 1, that delay will be ON. There is an option called "Snapshot Bypass" that will change how the block's bypass state reacts as you switch between snapshots. Double-tap the block on the touchscreen to bring up the menu and at the bottom is Snapshot Bypass. When the switch is to the right, the block's bypass state will be recalled as I described in the example above. When the switch is too the left, the bypass state will be ignored by the snapshots, so if you turn the block off, it will remain off until you turn it back on, even as you bounce between snapshots. In most cases I keep the switch to the right so that when I return to a snapshot it is in the same state it was in when I left it, however there are some cases when I will toggle the switch to the left, such as on a Poly Capo block for down-turning. Once I've engaged the down-tuning I normally want it to stay down-turned as I navigate between rhythm and solo snapshots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
