Performance mode layout questions

[sick pickle]

So I am digging performance mode and I have customized it somewhat. What I want to have happen is that when I hold switch 2 on View 1, it would then go to another view which shows me 3 presets on the screen....or show me the one I am on in the middle, and the previous on the left and next on the right?

This seems to be a bit tricky to configure. The only way I can assume this would work is if I set the limits on the bank numbers? But this then opens up the world of programming your setlist somewhere in the preset bank list? Not knocking Fractal here, but I feel like the Helix implementation of this is so much easier. Press one button up and all the foot-switches can show presets to select from. How can I replicate something like this on the FM3, knowing that there is only 3 buttons (keeping performance mode).

I guess this is really where you need the FM9 or FM3 with FC6?

What do you mean with „performance mode“? Maybe you should try the „preset“-layout, it sounds like the thing you want

I'm pretty sure he means the Perform Layout...

Yes sorry. Layout. Preset layout doesn’t work. I am used to scenes/snapshots

No disrespect intended but your name choice isn’t the best. Reminds me of raising little kids. Lot of pee pee and poo poo involved in that.

Not very helpful.

Please more clarification, I think I have issues to understand: you want to switch presets (first post), but now it’s scenes?

For the presets stuff, I will dial in a layout later and post it here, maybe this would help you.

Did a little video explanation. Thanks everyone!

Ah, now I understand.

So, easy way to get the names on the +1 and -1 is to set the label text in the layout to "Destination Name".
To get HOME telling you the current name, it's actrually not that easy. I currently only have the FM9 here, were I cannot find the PERFORM layout. I think the "easiest" way would be to use a per-preset overwrite sporting the name of the current preset. This however will need additional work in every preset, and I think that's why it was called HOME (it's a pure layout switch, I think).

The problem is more or less that the FM3 (and other Fractal devices) are using a more block based approach. This means that there is no easy way to set the middle switch to always "select" the current preset.
