Wish Add "switches combination functions" Pressing 1+2 or 2+3

[Robhimself]

Hi!
Hotone Ampero have an "extra functions" pressing switches 1+2 (at the same time) or 2+3.
This is very usefull in a 3 switch configuration.

Not a fan of this, because it's error prone.
If the switches aren't pressed exactly at the same time, one is missed and the other activates its HOLD function.

On the Strymons, this works very robust and is used live by many players.
so, +1 from me!

With a fully adjustable specs (like almost everything in Fractal products) and the option of enable or not, I don't see the problem.

+1 having more options is always good

I've been thinking about this, specially for Tuner function, where we could access it anywhere.

+1. I've had other modelers do this (actually my GR-55 does it as well). If anyone has concerns about it being error prone, then just don't use it.

+1 particularly for tuner.

+1 actually.

That sort of action is officially supported as the way to bring up the master layout menu (if it's not disabled), so it can't be that unreliable.

Personally I wouldn't use it for common actions, but it might let you free up a less frequently used press or hold switch for something else.

Fair point, although we're really only talkig about a few ms in difference unless I'm a huge clutz. Even in that case, I can always adjust my hold time to compensate. Or perhaps if this function is assigned then the hold function automatically elongates a little to prevent accidental hold function operation.

+1; not because I really need it, but because more versatility is always good and it would be just one more reason to be able to brag about how great the FM3 is and how versatile even just three footswitches can be; this would effectively add two additional tap/hold functions, effectively turning it into an FM5!
