Since the FC series will be more of a thin client, with the AIII handling the programming, will the Axe have any ability to organize presets into Songs or Setlists? It sounds like Songs may be less important given the ability to have so much more in a single preset, but it still might be useful to have both layers. But I'm hoping to be able to easily throw together setlists of presets.
Some nice touches while I'm asking:
- Ability to do it on the fly from the front panel, perhaps even as a "throwaway" setlist. I play at church and I don't know what presets I'll use, or in what order, until I get there. It'd be nice to just be able to quickly scroll through and hit a button on each preset I need to build a setlist I'll use right then, but I'd only need it for that week's mass. It'd still be good to have it written to memory in case I lose power, but I'd just overwrite it each week. Of course I'd expect this could be useful for cover bands and even original bands that vary their setlists each night.
- Ideally it'd also allow for repeating presets within the setlist. Again in the church scenario, I often come back to a basic clean preset several times, switching to more specialized presets for some songs. It'd be nice to be able to repeat them so I can just keep moving forward instead of jumping around.
