I assume people already know that holding the SHIFT key with character selection on the HS lets you jump through character types.
I’ve been using the new Patch Manager to type in names for patches, and for going back and changing names later. That all is pretty fast and easy once you figure out your work-flow.
NOTE: Patch names are limited to 16 characters. Going longer than that is allowed in the Patch Manager -BUT- when you try to save longer names to the HS, it doesn’t. The Patch Manager just puts a message in the message box for five to ten seconds and doesn’t change the name.
I would have preferred that it either truncate the name to 16 characters and use that for the change -OR- simply limit you to 16 characters when typing the name in the Patch Manager.
The Patch Manager is pretty basic, but seems to work well for what it does. I have a hunch they will be adding more features and improving it.
Question: Is there any interest in having a new set of Patch Banks, with the entire bank all set to Warm Mode? (Warm Mode is set by patch, it’s not a global. This is nice, it gives you the choice per patch.)
I have been considering doing this for myself, though i usually prefer the “Cool” sound. If there is interest i was considering the option of posting the Warm Patch Banks here. This could also be done with the new patch bank from Inhalt.
BTW: I am liking the Inhalt patch bank – i’ve only listen through part of it, but some i liked in particular are: Lifeforms #12, Nemo Studio #26, Stories of Old #37, Talking Metal #38.
