Title: Feature Request: Improved Snapshot Copy Workflow / "Snapshot Save As..." Functionality on the device and in the software.

[Fredley_1000]

Description: While tweaking presets, there is a workflow friction point regarding how un-saved parameter changes are handled when copying snapshots: The Issue: When tweaking a parameter in Snapshot 1 (e.g., increasing reverb mix) and creating a great new sound variation, the goal is often to save this new tweak to Snapshot 2 while keeping Snapshot 1 in its original, un-tweaked state (similar to a "Save As..." command on a PC).

Currently, if you tweak Snapshot 1, copy it over to Snapshot 2, and hit Save, the new tweak gets permanently baked into Snapshot 1 as well. The original state of Snapshot 1 is lost unless manually restored beforehand.

Proposed Solution: Introduce an option or shortcut when copying/pasting snapshots (e.g., "Paste & Revert Source Snapshot" or a dedicated "Snapshot Save As..." feature) that performs the following: Pastes the current un-saved buffer tweaks from the active edit into the target snapshot (Snapshot 2). Automatically reverts the source snapshot (Snapshot 1) back to its last saved state.

This would greatly improve the creative workflow by allowing players to instantly capture spontaneous sound ideas into a new snapshot without corrupting the original snapshot's baseline settings.

Please forward this for an update!

Sincerely, Alfred Schreiber

Have you investigated whether or or not the Snapshot Edits Discard/Recall parameter affects this behaviour?

 

In any case your feature request should be submitted here:

Yeah I understand what you're trying to do.  Helix doesn't allow you to save what you have right now to a different snapshot.  Instead, you can back up your already-tweaked snapshots to other ones, and then experiment.  

 

I tweak the !@#%%^ out of my presets and snapshots, pushing it to the limit of its ability and I never, I mean never faced this need.  :)
