Hopefully this request for Global Preset does not fall on deaf ears with Fractal. Thus far they have not implemented being able to assign the front panel knobs to be whatever you want and then change on the fly with auto save. This would be amazing for tweaking patches at rehearsal and live. Hope they consider these great suggestions.There is not a way to do this at this time. Being able to assign things to external switches as part of FC configuration came up several times during beta testing.
I hope it will happen eventually because I've got some uses for it as well.

I did not use a global preset on the MFC when I had my Axe II, so I don't have much context for its use, but I believe on the FC you can assign a switch in a given layout to recall a specific preset number. Wouldn't this be the same as a global preset, but with the added flexibility of assigning additional different "global" presets to different buttons as desired? You just select the specific number instead of "global" for as many switches or layouts as you want. My apologies if I haven't understood, I just thought I would highlight.Hopefully this request for Global Preset does not fall on deaf ears with Fractal.

I used Global Preset for my main Lead sound. On the MFC101, any patch you were on, if you hit that same button again, would give you that main Lead sound via Global. No need to set up and kill a button on every bank to ONLY do that Lead tone. Extremely useful and utilized live all the time.I did not use a global preset on the MFC when I had my Axe II, so I don't have much context for its use, but I believe on the FC you can assign a switch in a given layout to recall a specific preset number.

I do not have my FC yet...still waiting. But your above mentioned would not work as I use the global preset often and it must be quick and easy. Thank you for suggestion though@Tremonti Do you use the hold function on your presets page for anything? You could assign a hold on a preset button to jump to the global preset.

The 12. But seems silly that the MFC101 could do something that the newer FC can't? You can assign the IA's to be anything per preset now but a global preset was not carried over from the MFC101? Is what it is, but if never implemented it makes things a little more tedious to set up IMO. I must be the only guy to use the global preset as no one else seems to love that feature.Are you getting a 6 or 12? With a 12, there's really enough switches for most situations to just dedicate a switch on any of your performance layouts to switch to the global preset. You can have those switches load your preset selector layout automatically via Layout Link so you can get back to where you were.
For example, assuming you have 3 layouts for performances - scenes, effects, and preset selection. Make your bank size 8. Dedicate Switch 6 for lead patch on all three layouts. On the scenes and effects layouts, have switch 6 layout link to preset selection. So you'll load your lead patch and switch to preset selection to get you back to where you can pick your patch to return to.
You could do this with the 6 as well but it's giving up 1/6th instead of 1/12th of your switches on each layout but it could work depending on your other needs.
