7 by design

7 of the 21 problems below are not faults. The modeler does that on purpose, and they are marked by design.

my snapshot edits vanish when I switch snapshots and come back

  1. by design

    Snapshot Edits is set to Discard . Fix: Global Settings > Preferences > Snapshot Edits sets this. Recall (the default) keeps your changes as you left them. Discard returns the snapshot to its last-saved state. Discard suits playing live and loses edits while you are building. Hold BYPASS and press SAVE to flip it at any time. The camera icon on the Home screen is gray for Recall and red for Discard.

loading a preset jumps to a snapshot I didn't choose

  1. by design

    It recalls whichever snapshot was active when the preset was saved . Fix: Saving a preset stores all of its snapshots and remembers which one you were on. If a song should always start on the intro sound, select that snapshot and then save. The choice is made at save time, not at load time.

my delay or reverb cuts off the instant I bypass it

This is a setting inside the block. Tails cutting off at a preset change is a different problem.

  1. by design

    That block's Trails setting is Off . Fix: Trails Off mutes repeats and decays the moment the block is bypassed. Trails On lets them ring out, through a bypass and through a snapshot change. It is set per block, so check every delay and reverb.
