Stadium XL focus view and snapshots

[LP59]

The first thing I wanted to do after I dialed in a tone with focus view on the amp was to save that into a snapshot. But any changes I make with focus view don't seem to get saved into a snapshot. When I come back to the snapshot, the changes I made with focus view are gone. Is that right?

Block bypass is automatically assigned to snapshots but parameters are not (by design, just like Helix/HX). If you want snapshots to reflect where you move the Focus lens, push-turn each knob to assign it to snapshot control; the value turns white.

At that point the Focus lens itself won't move when changing snapshots, but the parameters will jump accordingly.

Thanks.

I think you've done such a good job with focus view, that it might frequently be used as the way that people edit presets. In that case, it would be really nice if it interacted with snapshots just like the individual controls.

And it would be nice if all of the block focus views worked in the editor. Maybe that's just a "not in the initial version" thing?

Parameter control of snapshots absolutely needs to be off by default; otherwise you’re constantly updating every snapshot for every parameter tweak you make that’s not supposed to change per snapshot. Eek!

Yes, Focus zones will eventually appear in the editor. I’m astounded the software team was able get as much done as they did. If you remember, it was supposed to be just a simple librarian at launch.

I hope you add some sort of "Save focus settings to current snapshot" button soon. I could see that being a great way to quickly alter the tone for a snapshot. Especially when the user-editable focus points become a thing.

Technically I suppose this would work so that basically any parameters altered by focus get iterated through and saved to snapshot settings.
