A few tips for working with Global Blocks

[yek]

1. RESETTING — When you've saved a block as a Global Block, and you're going to dial in a channel of that block that hasn't been tweaked before, the channel's initial settings may be WAY off. Resetting that channel before tweaking makes sure that everything (including settings that you don't see) is set to default.
   
   
2. SAVING — If you've changed settings in one of the 8 instances of a Global Block, always save the preset first before loading another instance of that block, otherwise you'll lose your edits. In other words: you can not edit several instances of the Global Block and then save the preset to save them all; you must save "per instance".
   
   
3. UNLINKING — To share a preset that contains Global Blocks, you have to either send the System file along with it, or unlink all Global Blocks first. Hardware and software do not provide a method yet to unlink all Global Blocks in one go. So for now unlink each block manually and then export the preset.
