I posted this in another thread but it belongs here:
-----
I play in more than one band, and my main band plays more than 70 tunes.
Using the Axe-Fx II, I rely on a "preset-per-song" approach. Each preset has the correct tempo set for that song. I program scenes for various parts within each song. My RJM controller lets me name those scenes, which makes things a lot easier. Also, when I switch presets, the BandHelper app on my iPad switches along, displaying lyrics and info. It's all automated and very handy when gigging.
With the III arriving, I can keep doing the same thing, but not until Global Blocks are implemented. Programming all those song-specific presets again without the help of Global Blocks would be a nightmare.
Alternatively, the idea of sticking to merely a single (or a few) presets, using scenes and channels, is very tempting. But it forces a lot of tap dancing and/or tweaking between songs, scene names would not be song-specific, etc.
I do see and propose a solution. It 's not expanding the number of scenes, but having multiple sets of scenes as SONGS.
A song simply would be a set of 8 scenes, based on a single preset, just like we have now. But unlike the current situation, we could have multiple sets of 8 scenes, based on the same preset. Each set of 8 scenes would have its own name (song name). For example, I could have 30 songs (sets of 8 scenes), each one referring to the same preset and just switch between those, while the selected preset would stay the same. The changes to the architecture would be minor, with one exception: each song would have the ability to set the tempo.
