Chris,I also wish you had more time for the videos,You do a good job, and appreciate your advice and knowledge and assistance
Just curious why? It's already on the main displayI did not see it in your video but have you seen a way to toggle presets so the mini displays show the current preset name of the toggle rather than the choice of 'Destination Name" when toggling within a particular bank?
Both # – For the toggle function, shows both preset numbers, with brackets around the one that is currently selected. Ex: [P000]P001 or P000[P001]or without brackets if neither is loaded: P000/P001
Both P# – For the toggle function, shows the positions of both presets within the bank, with brackets around the one that is currently selected (ex: [P1] P2, or without brackets if neither is loaded: P1/P2

i don't understand. assuming your top row shows PresetsI may want to see presets 1,2,6,7,5 displayed in front of me
i don't understand. what exactly do you mean by "toggling the Presets 1-5 buttons"? do you mean you press the button a 2nd time to get to the 2nd Preset on that switch?The only missing link is when toggling the Presets 1-5 buttons, to any of the Presets 6 - 10, I can not see the name of the new preset, only the destination of where it would go to which is the preset I just left.
It sounds like this changes throughout the night. How could the FC possibly know what you want to see? Even if it did display the current preset, how does that one switch affect the other preset switches?Hi Chris, my mistake on the example I gave above.
The example above should have read, "I may want to see Presets 1,2,8,9,5, displayed in front of me in a given bank for a particular song line up".
The bottom line is that I may want to be able to see any of the 10 presets in a bank lined up in advance for a tune that I am getting ready to play.
Again what I want to get away from is the pedal board dance.
I still don’t think you’re describing “current preset” accurately. Having to press a Switch twice has nothing to do with “current preset” conceptually. “Current” means the Preset you’re on now. If you’re on preset 6, “display the current Preset” would mean showing Preset 6, not Preset 4.Well Chris I just wrote out a detailed reponse to you on my issue but this darn post timed out on me and I lost it all. So I will try to make this one brief...
I have decided to reduce my bank size to 5 presets instead of 10 and increase # of Banks to 8 instead of 4. This way I can remove all toggles and still be able to see the NAMES of the presets I want to go to. I put a WRAP feature on the Bank +/- select buttons so it will still be a minimal amount of button pushing to get to any of my most popular presets.
Just a side note to all, the toggle set up I had worked well for me except for the current name not being listed, because the preset buttons would only toggle the preset if you were all ready on that particular button. As an example, if I was on P1 (toggled to P6), and wanted to go to say P4, all I had to do was hit the button of P4 to get there. It would not toggle that preset unless I was already on the preset and hit it a second time. Plus I liked having a larger bank size.
So once again if you are speaking with Fractal guys about any upgrade suggestions on the FC's, I sure would appreciate you submitting this request for me to add the current name of the preset as one of the choices in the Preset /Toggle in Bank/ Mini Display Label programming menu.
Again my other wish is it would be nice to be able to program a button using the hold feature or a toggle to see the BANK # info (000-009), for example, that you can see on the main display screen for only a fraction of a second when you change banks... I would like the ability to keep that info on the screen if so desired...
Thanks for your time and consideration...
I have to say I've struggled to follow along with your use case. It doesn't make sense to my brain, which is why I haven't tried to propose any alternative.As an example, if I was on P1 (toggled to P6), and wanted to go to say P4, all I had to do was hit the button of P4 to get there. It would not toggle that preset unless I was already on the preset and hit it a second time.

Your example above doesn't make sense to me.
If you are on P1, you are on P1... Not P6. If you've toggled to P6, then you're on P6. How does that relate to P4? If you have a button assigned to P4 (or more precisely in your case, a toggle between 4 and 9, I think) then of course it's going to go to P4 when you press it. That is how the toggles work.
As I'm writing this out, it kind of feels like you are wanting the bank to toggle as you toggle presets? In other words, something like this;
Buttons 1-5 assigned to presets in 1-5 in the bank and each preset toggling up 5 presets.
So, initially, say you start on preset on the 1st bank of 10, the buttons will access presets:
1 2 3 4 5
And each would toggle to:
6 7 8 9 10
It sounds like what you want is this:
Initial press button 1, you get to preset 1, button labels now look like this:
1 2 3 4 5
Press button 1 again, you get to preset 6, button labels now look like this:
6 7 8 9 10
Press button 1 again, you get to preset 1, and button labels to back to:
1 2 3 4 5
Is this a correct understanding?
Ok...Chris, I know that, but I was talking about two different things in the previous set up. I was referring to Current Name of a preset and was explaining that the set up I had explained worked well for me except that it was displayed in numbers, [P1] / P6, [P2] / P7, etc., as the toggled presets were displayed, not in names. In my example above I was sharing just a note on my toggle set up. I was just trying to point out that I could go from any preset in the 10 preset bank from a toggled preset like P6 to a non toggled preset like P4 in the without having to toggle the destination button. Some folks were under the impression that every time I hit a preset button that it would toggle and I may not want that, and that is not so unless you tapped it twice.
I apologize that I have not been clear on what I wanted.
you want the mini display to showYes, you are correct this is how I have it set up.. I just don't want to see numbers when I stomp the preset button, I want to see names.
If P1 toggles to P6, and P1 is SRV Blues, and P6 is Allman Brothers, then that is what I want the Mini Display to read when a particular preset is active.
That is understandable. But how does that affect Preset 4 when you’re on Preset 1 (or what eleven the previous example was)? Or was that a different thing?No, I want the Mini Display to show one of those names, (as an example), when I toggle the preset button, instead of P1 or P6 (as an example). No matter whether I toggle or don't toggle, I want the resulting preset to display that preset's name in the Mini Display just as it will show in the Main Display. In that example P1 would be SRV Blues, and P6 would be Allman Brothers. The Mini Displays are not big enough to display both of those names on the screen at the same time like the "Both P#" option in the menu does which shows two Preset Numbers at the same time. Just the name of the currently active one is all I was looking for.

So if you’re on SRV, you want the switch to show SRV? Ok. I personally don’t see the benefit at all. It makes the text on that switch sort of redundant and useless. It’s not showing any new information. But that’s just preference.
Let’s say you go to Allman Bros. And you want the switch to show Allman bros.
That’s all on the same switch. What do you want to see when you are on a Allman Bros, and then press another switch to preset 8 for example? What do you want that Allman Bros switch to show after you leave that preset?
This seems like a bad idea? If the switch shows Allman Bros when you are on that preset (just as the main display does), how will you know what preset it will switch to when you step on it?
Say you're on P6 and the mini display reads Allman Brothers. Now you hit a pedal to load P2. This mini-display now shows the P2 name. What should the other display show. Should it show Allman Brothers? If it did this would not make sense as the SRV Blues preset it what will be loaded when you step on it, not Allman Brothers. So then that means it should show the current present when active, but the preset that will actually be loaded when not active, which seems like unnecessarily complex behavior for no real advantage to me?
