How do I copy different ready-made scenes from different presets to another custom preset? Help!
How do I make my own preset with my favorite factory scenes?Can't. Scenes are always preset-dependent. It's explained in the manual.
Then only for one song will I need to dance on the buttons for a long time in order to switch different sounds from presets to scenes? It's not logical and difficult. Horror((Copy the factory preset to another preset slot, then modify.
Note that all scenes of a preset always have the same chain. You can't add or delete blocks per scene. Per scene, you can only set a block on/off, or change the channel of a block, and some more advanced stuff.
- PRESET: like your traditional pedalboard.
- SCENE: like your traditional pedalboard at a particular moment, with effects being on or off, and set to a channel.
- CHANNEL: like one of the pedals on that pedalboard with its controls set in a specific way. There are 4 channels in most blocks, so 4 different sets of settings.
But how. I want to play a melody on the sound from preset 157 scene 1. And then immediately switch to the sound from preset 344 scene 2 on the chorus. If I can't put it together into one author's personal preset, how can I quickly turn the verse-chorus-verse-chorus?Of course not. You are jumping to conclusions without learning the device first.
Thanks. I will try to solve the problem as you suggested.Copy the required blocks from both presets into a new preset. Set up the scenes as desired.
There's no "magic" here. A scene is merely the on/off states and channel selection of the blocks within a preset. They have no "values" on their own.
Once you understand that then you will understand why your request isn't really possible.
Let’s try a different tack. Tell us what you tried, and what went wrong, and we’ll help you do it correctly. Currently we don’t know what you did, so we have to guess where you are in the process and then try to correct it, and that’s too big of a problem domain.How do I copy different ready-made scenes from different presets to another custom preset?

You have to think of a preset as a pedal board. The scene is the current state of any given pedal on that board (is the pedal on or off and which channel is it using). When you start talking of switching from a scene in preset A to a scene in preset B, that is sort of like switching out pedal boards.Thanks. I will try to solve the problem as you suggested.
Unfortunately there is no instruction in Russian. I don't understand translation well through Google.
You can already do this. Simply copy the parent preset. Go to the copied preset and select the scene you wanted to copy. Now delete any unused blocks for that scene and delete any other scenes w/i the preset. There you go.Hi,
I was going to post a similar "wish" for the FM3-Edit but it's probably better to revive this thread instead.
I agree with the original post, it would be very convenient to be able to copy a given scene to another preset. I know that a scene has no meaning without its preset, however maybe it could be achieved by two commands (which are both missing now, I think):
1 - copy all blocks of source scene to a new, empty preset. This just prepares a new preset.
2 - copy the source scene settings to a given Channel of that preset. (This should first check if the target preset has all the needed block, of course).
When you want to add any scene to the same preset (step 2 above), it can only work if the target preset has the needed blocks. So, to achieve what this thread was asking for, do the two commands above for the first scene. then manually edit the add missing blocks, if needed (in my case, the scenes I'd like to group may differ for a compressor or a wah block, I can just add the missing one before doing step 2 above).
Does this makes sense?

That kinda covers step 1 above (even if in a cumbersome, lenghty way...). But we still need step #2... and it has to be an independent command that DOES NOT change the blocks in the layout, just copy the settings storing them to a given channel.You can already do this. Simply copy the parent preset. Go to the copied preset and select the scene you wanted to copy. Now delete any unused blocks for that scene and delete any other scenes w/i the preset. There you go.
I understand it's "doable", yes, but the option to copy scenes between presets would be a very nice shortcutYou can already do this. Simply copy the parent preset. Go to the copied preset and select the scene you wanted to copy. Now delete any unused blocks for that scene and delete any other scenes w/i the preset. There you go.
All of your channel settings will be saved with that scene. It's not really that cumbersome using Edit.That kinda covers step 1 above (even if in a cumbersome, lenghty way...).

Bottom line: no, I don't think we can already achieve it...
Let's remove the amp and cab for a moment and think of each preset as a separate pedalboard with an 8 switch looper pedal. There is no way to take the settings of switch #3 and move it to another pedalboard without first creating another board with the same pedals. That's how the FAS system works with the added power of channels that can be saved to the "looper" pedal.
Quite easy, actually.But how. I want to play a melody on the sound from preset 157 scene 1. And then immediately switch to the sound from preset 344 scene 2 on the chorus. If I can't put it together into one author's personal preset, how can I quickly turn the verse-chorus-verse-chorus?
