That's a really good use case for Scene Ignore!I think the pitch block explanation (like using virtual capo for example) is one of the best. I've had to set up whole presets that are either 1/2 up or 1/2 down that I have to switch to at some point in the night - if I set my virtual capo channel to Scene Ignore On I can turn it on and my whole current preset will go into that 'tuning'. When I shut it off, back to normal. But I only had to set up a button or whatever I choose to control the on/off state of the pitch block and then not worry about if I jump to my lead channel and didn't have the VC on. And also not worry about changing presets. Not like it's a huge inconvenience, but one of the reasons why I got the FC12 was to cut down on a lot of 'tap dancing' and this feature aligns with that (for me anyway). . Thanks for implementing it FAS!
I've tried this and understand it from this scenario but I can do the same thing without it.. Wouldn't you also need a dedicated switch to change channels then?Scene Ignore is a Block function, per channel, not a scene function.
Let's use the Amp block as an example. Channel 'A' has Scene Ignore ON, Channels 'B', 'C' and 'D' are OFF:
In either case, selecting Channel 'B', 'C' or 'D', will "turn off" Scene Ignore and the scenes will resume changing to the saved channels.
- When selecting Channel 'A', every scene from that point on will use Channel 'A' regardless of which channel is used in any other scene.
- When choosing a scene that uses Channel 'A', each scene from that point on will use Channel 'A' regardless of which channel is saved in the other scenes.
"Timing is everything" as they say.When I asked for scene ignore 4 years ago everyone jumped on to tell me how stupid the idea was and that I didnt understand the workflow.
Yes, you would need at least one dedicated switch for most scenarios using Scene Ignore. If your presets utilize scenes with different channels so you don't need to manually change them, Scene Ignore isn't a feature you'll use.I've tried this and understand it from this scenario but I can do the same thing without it..

That's true, but workarounds to some users means settling for an option that works to an extent but doesn't really do what they want. Like a lot of features, some will never use it, some will rarely use it but others will find it indispensable.Scene ignore doesn't exactly do something we didn't already have a workaround for. If you are used to having a multi-channel amp and a pedal board or switcher, this is a more familiar approach/workflow to changing sounds.
It certainly does.Scene ignore doesn't exactly do something we didn't already have a workaround for.
Sounds like a winner if you only need to adjust the amp block channel and not an accompanying cab block channel. A big help, certainly, but ability to change a handful of blocks as a group would help, too. In my scheme of operation, I often have two amps (for rhythm and lead sounds) and choice of two accompanying cabs each (1x12 or 2x10, for example, to tailor the lows and mids just so), with the impedance curves in the amps set to match the cab, so it would be important to be able to keep them sync'ed together. I could split them out to separate presets, but that just doubles the maintenance....It certainly does.
A simple example: I have a preset with the Amp block having 4 different "base" amp settings. This is the "pedal platform" I have adjusted the rest of the preset for.
By turning on scene ignore on all channels of the Amp block, I can decide on the fly which one I want to use across all scenes. I simply need to select the Amp block channel on any scene.
As a self-proclaimed simpleton, I think I might be finally getting it. You'd need a switch (instead of a scene) to choose which Amp channel you want, is that right?It certainly does.

Yes, I think we absolutely need a way to handle things like "linking" channel changes or bypass states of multiple blocks with a single button press (that's not a scene change).Sounds like a winner if you only need to adjust the amp block channel and not an accompanying cab block channel.
