let's say this existed, and generally you like having it save after a change.
but what if you make a mistake, put the wrong value, and it saves. would that be ok?
If it was an auto save, I don't think there would be any other alternative. But you could always just turn the knob again.
The thing is, these are really meant for those small things you might need to tweak in the middle of a performance, not for major editing of a preset. So I wouldn't see that as too big a problem considering their intended use.
I can see the value in this, but also agree with
@chris and
@Rex - it creates a sound gap. Also, sometimes I tweak parameters for one song but don't want to keep them. I can hit S>E>E pretty quickly.
Maybe offering it as a Global option for people like OP who would want it?
The sound gap would be a problem if there's no way to avoid it. I don't know if there is or not.
I think making it a global option would be important so it's opt-in for those who do want it.
The time it takes to press S>E>E can be an eternity in the midst of a performance.
A 'Save Now' button on the Perform screen would make it quicker than the save/enter/enter. Make it optional to opt-in via a system setting so current behavior is default?
I think that might be the ideal solution. Have one of the buttons on that screen be a quick save that just takes one click to perform.
Just curious, how often do people make and save edits to presets in a live situation? Maybe adjusting one of the global EQs for the room during a soundcheck. I would think that the presets themselves would be worked out at home and at rehearsals.
Seriously, just curious.
Well, regardless of how often you do it, they are called "Performance Pages" for a reason
The purpose of the pages is to give quick access to the things you might need to tweak in the midst of a performance.
Are we debating the purpose of Performance Pages, or the need for a faster way to save during a performance?
Yup. And it’s not just one sound gap, either. “Okay, I want more Delay. (Turns the knob a bit.) This much more? Dunno. I have to wait for the save to finish. Okay, now I can hear it again. Nope. I still need more. (Turns the knob a bit.) This much more? Dunno. Wait for the save to finish. Nope. Still need more. And so on...
Compare the to “just turn the knob until you like it. Then save if you want to. Done.
A manual save would be fine, as long as it is quick to access. The current process of moving my hand over to the save button, pressing it, then moving down to the enter button and hitting it twice is very cumbersome and takes too much time and focus in the heat of a performance.
right. i think a further wish would then be "have Perform Pages save 5 seconds after making a change." but that's not a current feature i believe, so that'd have to bulit, tested, and implemented, probably using more CPU.
That would be another good possibility for how it could work.
