I don't believe this question is Controller related but it's in regard to creating scenes. I'm stumped. I assign a preset to Scene 1 but when I assign a preset to Scene 2, it shows on Scene 1 also. I've been trying to figure this out for days. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Great video! A question please, among the 8 possible scenes within a preset, can I save changes to the parameters of more than one effects? (eg scene 1.. more delay and more reverb, scene 2.. more drive on amp and delay off) Or can I save only parameter changes related to the amp (using ABCD channels)? In this case, these scene controls would not be very similar to the helix snapshots, right? I know it's an incredible piece of equipment. But i would like to understand what i can save and how i can save in fractal scenes please. And you know this equipment very well! Congratulations on your channel.
Thank for watching and great question! "Scenes" in the Fractal control bypass states of effect blocks, block channels (all blocks have 4 channels, not just the amp block), and can control various virtual switches and controllers. So there's more than one way to skin this cat. For your example above (scene 1 more delay and verb, scene 2 more drive delay off) could look something like this... Scene 1: Amp channel A with Verb and Delay on, Scene 2: switch to amp channel B (same amp more drive perhaps) and bypass delay, Scene 3: (Lead) Amp Channel B add in preamp boost with control switch, Delay channel B with more wet mix and more tails, Etc. All these can be controlled by only switching scenes. Another way only using channel A on ALL blocks... Scene 1: Amp set clean verb and delay set wet, Scene 2: using scene controller 1, turn up amp drive, and turn down verb mix, bypass delay, Scene 3: Engage Delay, scene controller 1 set to turn up drive, delay mix, control switch to turn on preamp boost. Again all done by switching scenes. Rather than turning a knob and saving a "snapshot" (which is quite a bit simpler for sure!) there's A LOT of flexibility on how to control things from scene to scene with, albeit, a steep learning curve. Hope this clarifies a bit. Cheers!
Great vid! Does panning the IRs left and right make a difference if you are running mono? I’m running two different IRs in one cab block and always just left them panned center, since I’m running mono. Thanks in advance
Thanks! If in mono not really. Could depend on how your output is configured in the global settings. Default is stereo, meaning if you did have the ir’s hard panned, you would only hear each ir through its respective output either left or right. This can be handy if you want to quickly try which ir would sound best setting up in a venue if running mono. There’s other options for sum and dual mono. In your application you will hear each ir the same amount through both left and right outs. Hope this helps!
Such a great video Matthew!
Thanks for checking it out!
Huge help, been messing with scene controllers and this is a cool way to use them. Thx for the insight!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Nice tip on release transitions.
Thanks!
Helped a ton! Thanks!
