In the Looper, the Preset Up footswitch has a white LED to show you can press it to exit back to the Grid. Great (see the pic below, the white LED is circled in orange)
However when you edit a block, when you are in the edit window, there is always a white LED next to the preset of foot switch, which looks exactly like it does when you are in looper mode (see the pic below, the white LED is circled in magenta)
Not so great because I have lost count of the number of times I’ve pressed it thinking it will exit me back to the Grid and instead it takes me to the next preset up, losing all the edits I’ve just made. Which as you can imagine drives me nuts.
Can anyone explain why this LED is lit in Scene or Stomp mode? I can’t think of any good reason, and it’s yet another example of NDSP seemingly WANTING me to change presets when I least want to…
Not sure about that specific issue, but keep in mind you can always use “UNDO” instead of losing all your edits. It should work even if you changed presets
Sorry, I meant to add pics, so I’ve attached those now.
Yes, that is true. But I think you and I have shared views on your YT channel about things we’d like to see for the QC this year, and one of mine was for the undo function not to exit the edit page and take you back to the grid every time you try to undo a change to a parameter. Overall I find the undo function less than satisfactory but you’re right, in this case it would at least do the job.
I’d prefer it though if these sort of quirks were ironed out in the first place; I can’t think of any reason at all why I’d want a white LED on that footswitch when in edit mode, but I can think of a very good reason why I wouldn’t want one (ie it then replicates what you see in looper mode when pressing that footswitch - which does serve a useful purpose. But if by force of habit /muscle memory press it when it edit mode it does something you almost certainly don’t want it to do, and takes you to the next preset up)
