Pretty straightforward wish, mainly relevant if you use MIDI to control one or more External Controllers as modifiers or if you don't always connect your external controller to your FM3 (say, you leave your EV-1 at the rehearsal space or whatever).
The wish: If a parameter is assigned to an modifier (External Controller in my specific example below) and I adjust the parameter on the unit or FM3 Edit, it should override the modifier assignment UNTIL the modifier controller makes another adjustment. If I manually adjust the parameter, but then move the expression pedal controlling the modifier, then it is once again controlled by the modifier. Essentially, the knob would be a stand-in for that modifier until such time as the parameter received more/new instructions from the modifier.
This could be a passive feature and would not require manually enabling/disabling the feature. It would work intuitively and would cut out some steps and ease frustration.
Example: I have a preset where the pitch block > Virtual Capo's "Shift" parameter is controlled by a modifier attached to an External Controller, which is assigned to a MIDI CC#. The problem is that if I'm on this preset without all my MIDI stuff hooked up, in order to use this preset and adjust the pitch, I have to delete the modifier assignment so I can make any changes. If I were in the middle of a gig and my MIDI gear s*** the bed, it would be best to be able to reach down and twist the knob on my Performance Page to adjust the pitch as needed (or perhaps hit a footswitch that goes to a different channel with a different pitch, etc.).
This concept can apply to ANY parameter attached to a modifier. Without that modifier's assigned controller being connected, the parameter is more or less 'stuck.'
I assume this wouldn't work for EVERY modifier/controller assignment, t like the LFO or whatever, but for the ones like this that send a signal only when something is actively being changed, this would be a life-saver.
