Yes, I wish for the same things within the Fractal control paradigm as well. You can achieve this with a 3rd party midi controller with a few caveats. As I’m really only familiar with the Liquidfoot paradigm, I’ll refer to its functionality (I would guess that RJM can do something similar).
With a LF+ device, one could set an instant access switch (IA) as persistent across LF preset changes (referred to as a global IA, though this does not directly correspond to Fractal global blocks). A global IA can retrigger it's last value on an LF preset change, trigger an On value, trigger a bypass value, or send no command; this choice is determined on a LF preset-by-preset basis. So with that in mind, there are a lot of ways of having something like an amp channel (set as a global IA) to behave across LF presets. For example:
- Selecting an amp channel that remains the same with different blocks enabled/disabled/switching respective channels without changing Fractal patches or scenes
- Selecting an amp channel that remains the same when switching between different scenes
- Selecting an amp channel that remains the same across different Fractal patches using a Fractal amp global block.
- Triggering an amp change for any of the Fractal patches referenced above.
- etc...
The major caveat is that there are possibilities for audio hickups when selecting different patches or scenes that have been saved with a different amp channel than whatever the LF global IA has been set to. So lets say you select amp channel B on the LF global IA. You then select a different LF preset that triggers Fractal scene 2, which has been saved with amp channel C. There's a chance you will hear the artifact of changing from amp channel B to C and then back B.
Sorry if this is a little pedantic, I'm never quite sure with this forum how deep of an explanation is sought/needed. Regardless, I find this to achieve what I want from my rig, without adhering to Fractal's control paradigm.
