Some of these presets might be ok as starting points but they take up space for the most part. You can save them to the user bank but why are we not able to overwrite some preset that will never get used and isn’t contributing to our needs?

Here’s a previous discussion on this topic: [image] Why can't Factory presets be saved in place with modifications? Quad Cortex I am sure this question must have been asked by now, but a quick search didn’t surface it. Why can’t Factory presets be saved after they are mod…

I didn’t see any conversation in my search either. Another reason to post the question I suppose. It’s only a minor issue for me . The first thing I want to do with any gear is make my own presets and sounds. I don’t want to be stuck living with NDSP’s sounds / presets living along side within a …

I also ignore the factory presets and build all of my own custom presets from the ground up to suit my needs. There’s enough memory space for me to make all of the presets I want, more than I will ever practically use, that the thought of needing to delete factory presets has never crossed my mind.

[image] Cmathsounds: I might put the QC back in it’s box for a while and take a step back and look around at some other options. Lots to love but theres a very long way to go. Getting the modeler that is right for you is a worthwhile quest. I wouldn’t let the factory presets be a deciding iss…

Thanks for the insite. Iv’e been using my QC for a year and I agree alot with what you are saying. The overwrite preset thing is not a deal breaker all.

Just chiming in that I would LOVE to see this implemented. My issue is if my unit crashes live, it reboots into the factory presets folder which costs me critical seconds in front of thousands of people. Why are we forced to have 1A patch be a factory preset? I don’t see any reason why a user couldn…

That is odd behavior as I can power my QC off and or it can lose power and when its back on, it always starts on the last preset I was using at the time as designed. I guess it’s possible that after a crash it will land on the factory preset but I don’t have crashes and can’t validate that behavior …

Yea it’s specifically after a crash… it definitely recalls the most recent preset under normal circumstances, but after a crash they’ve programmed it to go to 1A factory preset (I assume because they don’t want to auto-activate the plugin that crashed and result in an infinite loop). However, I’m a …

+1 on being able to overwrite all factory presets since that’s valuable space/real-estate for users… FYI Fractal allowed overwriting all factory prestes but you could easily restore some or all of them from resource files…

So what do you mean by a “crash” if not an accidental power loss? A bug in the software that just happened to surface while you were gigging? How likely is that to happen for the first time when you are on stage? If some aspect of your preset or scene would be the root cause of a crash, wouldn’t you…
