I really like the scenes functionality, and use it extensively for changing sounds within a song.
Sometimes I want to switch patches in the middle of a song, or when practicing with the band to quickly hear how different potential patches sound with the overall mix. I find it very annoying to scroll through the patches using the floorboard one at a time, and each item scrolled through incurs a little delay for the midi message updates, and there is sound bleed-out from the patches I scroll through (e.g. one toy patch I did to make the Pink Floyd "On the Run" sound using step-sequencer and synths, so no input from guitar required to trigger it, but it is annoying to hear that when scrolling through to get to a different patch).
I really liked how the Line6 AX2 2x12 handled this- you had up/down buttons for scrolling through patches, but they didn't actually take effect until you hit a second button to choose A/B/C/D within that patch. So essentially it is a 2-button sequence to trigger the patch change.
The main benefit of this is the ability to keep playing with a given tone, while you tap through to find the alternate patch you want, hit the button to prep that patch, and it switches over instantaneously the moment you select the second button. No hearing a steady stream of interruptions while you tap through a list.
So in MFC-101 terms, this would be a request to not send MIDI CC out when pressing the patch up/down buttons, but rather save that state locally and wait until a scene is selected to actually send the CC for the patch change (if the patch has changed since the last press of a scene change button) and then right after send the scene change.
Is there a way to do this already or is this a net new feature request?
