    Do we really need channels and scene controllers?

    What if you don't use scenes at all but are using a stomp box mode approach? You need something more... channels.

    This is my request as well. I just want my dry tone (groups of blocks) independent of wet effects (groups of blocks). Scenes with Scene Ignore could have answered this, but its implementation is what needs to change. I wish it did.. This isn't the full ask for this request, but I think it...

    Not a Bug Issue with Channel Switching on Reverb 2 Block

    It's by design, but I wish it behaved like you've requested. It would require scene-ignore to actually be per-scene dependent rather than per-channel dependent. This would unlock the ability to have a super simplified version of channel group switching (via Scenes though) like mentioned here...

    AxeFx III died - and was revived

    Just use Axe Edit. You may need to do some pruning of the preset on the III since it might overload the preset or consume too much CPU. There could also be issues because of new features that might not have made it yet into the transfered platform.

    How do you plan to use gapless switching?

    Well, I'm still sticking with scenes mainly because of per preset tempo and wet spillover. Wet spillovers can be problematic if you are switching between types, etc. So, you'd probably need to build presets that mostly look similar to maintain spillover. This winds up also being a problem with...
