Re: Global Blocks
THAT is a bummer. Global blocks are a key part of my workflows, especially for getting predictable volume boosts for leads across all my presets.
C’mon, FAS...any way you can shed light on whether you intend to support global blocks, or something even better in the III? This may be a deal breaker for me unless there is an easy way to level all channels, then provide a controllable boost for solos that crosses presets.
Yeah...,
Yeah, looks like we lost some valuable capabilities along the way....
But global blocks are a big deal.
Yeah, again...,
If I were a bettin' man, I would expect one of two outcomes:
(a.) Global Blocks will eventually be implemented in a firmware update; or,
(b.) Some superior replacement ("Super"-blocks?) will eventually be implemented in a firmware update.
After all, they do seem a natural part of the workflow. And FAS didn't introduce a color screen, oodles of inputs and outputs, channels, and an improved line of foot-controllers on the way, for the sake of
taking away capabilities.
As for
how soon?
Well, who knows. Maybe
next year for all I know. But consider this: They just started shipping; for all I know the first person on the waiting list hasn't even received their unit yet; and they
already have released a firmware update.
We know the character of this company; they can be relied upon.
From Charles Williams'
Mount Badon:
Staring, motionless, he sat.
Dimly behind him he heard how his staff stirred.
One said: "He dreams or makes verse"; one: "Fool,
all lies in a passion of patience — my lord's rule."
In a passion of patience he waited the expected second.
The second that the Axe III box arrives at the front door; or that the new firmware feature is added, we'll be as thrilled as a kid on Christmas morning.
In the meantime, in a passion of patience, we await the expected second.
