Stadium Set Lists

[bbehrens]

When I use a set list for a gig, but I tweak something in preparation for the gig in the Stadium Editor, it causes the Stadium to always use the USER Set List (or Master Set List or ALL Presets setlist - whatever it is supposed to be called). I then have to go into the Stadium itself and select the Set List that I was using because the Stadium editor changed the preset that I tweaked and therefore switched to the USER Set list. This is a very annoying behavior since the USER Set List is the Master Set List which can get very big over time (unless you employ a separate maintenance strategy requiring you to keep the USEER Set List (Master Set List or whatever) organized (which is quite the chore in itself).

 

I think that Line 6's approach of using pointers for every Preset was a pretty BAD IDEA. It is something that I have used in Windows (various versions over the decades) very sparingly and for specific purposes. I think that it causes more headaches than it solves and this may just be another example of that.

 

Am I misunderstanding how presets work on the Stadium and perhaps there is a better way. Let me know what works best for you or if you find it just as frustrating.

I like the way that when you update a preset, it updates that preset in all set lists (since it is a pointer)... Would like to see that as an option for the blocks as well.  

 

If you are making edits through the HxEdit Stadium software, after you hit save, reselect the preset in the setlist (which is still on the left) and it pulls in the setlist on the device.  So I hit save, then double click the preset on the left (in the setlist) and the floor device has the current set list available.
