Do a backup of the globals+system+fc, then dive into the FC editor in Edit and nose around. A backup is important in case you accidentally change something and need to restore it; Because the layouts are global any changes are immediately written so you will want a safety net. As you begin tinkering make more backups.
There were a high number of complaints and confusion for the AX8/FX8 having per-preset switches by default, and it is more similar to the MFC having global switches for an easier transition.
Thank you for your help! Hey as a quick secondary question related to assigning these footswitches. I understand there is way to make secondary functions on switches. I'd like to add a 3db boost option to each scene I have assigned to the footswitches. Saves me having to use one switch alone for a boost.
just to clear things up, there is a Tap action and a Hold action. you can see these terms when you go to edit a switch - one section says Tap, the other says Hold.
I’ll have to wait till Monday to try this but most of this makes sense to me thinking it through. I will definitely delete a reverb block and assign the “big reverb” to just be a channel switch. Thank you for that suggestion, however the delays are still and issue because I don’t think I’ll be able to assign each one to be able to turn the reverb block off. I’m using the multi delay and regular delay block and I don’t think I can assign more than one control switch on a block correct? For example, I’ll set the control multi delay to CS6 and then reverb to CS6 but the “slap delay” will be left out because it would need to be assigned as CS5 and the reverb block it’s turning off as CS5 too. Does this make sense?
The easiest way to do what you want is with a scene. You don't have to change your layout. Go to Per Preset in the editor, pick any switch (There are 24), build your scene and save it. Go back to your main layout and select the switch you want , go to per preset override on the right side of the editor, select the per preset switch where you built the scene. Now the switch on your main layout will do whatever that scene does for only the preset your on. Switch presets and that switch goes back to it's normal assignment.
There is no need to do anything on the Per Preset layout.
Did you watch the op’s video?
regardless of the OP video, you don't need to use the Per Preset layout specifically to use an Override. if you're looking for a "blank looking" layout to use, sure Layout 6 default looks blank though their really Per Preset Placeholders.
Yes.
