It's been 2 months since NDSP Dan put up a Q&A about TINA. No questions have been responded to
Given how inconsistent they've been thus far, isn't this a good thing?

Remember, they made a "physical" version of the plugin amps for TINA to manipulate because.....reasons.

It's surprising that there's no footswitch combination to get you into Gig View. You could probably run a loopback cable from MIDI out to MIDI in, then program one (or all) of the footswitches to send MIDI CC#46 when pressed. That way, the first time you select a preset/ scene/ effect, you'll be returned to Gig View.There's been a bit of a learning curve with the QC, but mostly it's been very intuitive. I think the biggest failing (other than how long it's taken them to get things addedthat marketing has promised
) is a lack of scribble strips! Having to bend over and "slide up" to see what the footswitches are going to do is a bit of a pain, but no biggee. I'm getting used to it, and when I have two full banks of "flavors" of high gain, I'll memorize what's what, any who.
I'm thinking maybe there ought to be a Global Setting that brings up Gig View whenever you switch between Scene and Stomp (and whatever else is in your queue) modes. That would add some utility to the switch combination they've already implemented.
Note that you can also map expression pedals to the level settings in the Input and Output blocks, if you want to skip the Volume block and save room on the grid. (The volume block has the Log/Linear switch, though, which is really handy.)

Hmm, that would probably work!
I see there's "hybrid" modes, I have to play with that, seems you can stack a couple together but my guess is that makes the top buttons one thing and the bottom another.
Shit, I missed that, excellent - thank you!

Yeah, it's pretty flexible about letting you configure and switch between modes; there's just no easy way to get into and out of Gig View if you also need access to the "main" editing screen. (This inspired Steve Sterlacci to film a 7 minute video extolling the virtues of a pedal that could - WOW! - send CC#46 to a QC.

Had Walking On the Moon stuck in my head so set out to learn it. Naturally I wanted to get an Andy Summers tone happening and for some reason thought he ran a JC-120 and Memory Man. But was able to put a QC patch together in a couple minutes, added an EQ pedal in there and it was pretty solid...

One thing sucks about hybird mode - and I can't believe they designed it like this.
So you start off with stomp, scenes, and preset modes. You can bin off the preset mode, which is good. You can then make a hybrid of stomp and scenes mode. But you can't still have stomp and scenes mode as single modes.... at least I couldn't figure out how to do it.
This is quite dumb.

So you mean, for example, switching between hybrid and one or both of the other modes? I'm not sure I've ever noticed. I'll take a look tonight.

Yeah exactly.
Ideally I'd want:
Stomps
Scenes
Hybrid (stomps+scenes)
And it cannae bae daene.

Yeah, they seem to have gotten a little carried away in pursuit of "elegance" with that drag and drop setup screen. It looks really cool, but it's just not as versatile as something like the Preset MIDI screen, where you select a button and use a series of dropdown menus to indicate exactly what you want that button to do.

I was wondering whether that was intentional.

The other thing I don't know if they have yet ( they did not when I owned one ). is a momentary mode on the switches
so if you are doing something like "Unchained " you can quickly just step on/off the flanger or if you wanted to add a harmony quickly to a lead run step on/off pitch

Y'know I was just now wondering if I could do a killswitch on the QC. I'm gonna check when I'm home if you can assign a pedal to the mute button on the output.

Will have to be exp because I just realised there's no momentary switching option on the QC.

Yes you can! You can map to the SOLO button, too. And both of these can be set to be Scene-dependent with the same familiar (press and hold) UI. It's extremely useful stuff.
Last night I rediscovered the global cab sim bypass settings. Not unique to QC, but the presentation here is great.
It's been a real eye-opener having a factory reset QC in the room. I'm checking out all kinds of content I'd forgotten about. The preamp + power amp presets have some incredible captures in them.

Who are you and how did you hack Orv‘s account?
