Assign Snapshot to foot switch

[sirhc]

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...?

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.

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 ;) )

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.

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...?
