Is there a one-clickable way to change patch/performances? On my previous Roland board I could "lock" the leading zero, and just press the button 4 to get performance 4. This makes it easier to switch sounds during live play.

It seems like the the only way to get one clickable patch/controller changes is to use the touch screen. But it's not easy getting the change when your attention is on the playing and the performance change should be as quick as possible.

When you play the patches, there was another option easier. In patch mode, the pressed keys are retriggered after a patch change. That means I can just manually enter the patch number a little while before the patch change, and then press enter the moment the patch should be switched. This doesn't happen with performances. I wish the notes would be retriggered at the performances too. But I guess that would be problems if drums and arps are playing as well.

But I still miss the option of locking the numbers, so I could press a number and a patch change MIDI signal would be sent right away without waiting for an 'enter' click.

Am I missing something here? I've read the manual but I couldn't find anything about this.

Oh, I see your Problem.

I have a live drummer, so making a patch (Combi or program) change, not an issue for me. And I setup so I don't need to make a change in a song anyways..

YOu could try to put both "Patches" into combis, then save them next to each other, then just hit the up or down one time.
But I'm not sure what will happen to the drums even if both combis are using the same drum pattern & kit. Not sure what will happen to the ARP either..

You could also set it up so (example) SW1 will switch the keybed to a different channel. That might be a better way to set it up, then the drums nor ARP will create an issue.

Just try it. Let me know what you find out.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Very Happy

I've found out that using SW2 to turn the solo patch on/off will do the trick. Under Filter 1, I could set the output to 0 and AMS to +99 (controlled by SW2).

This makes it possible to use the same performance the whole song, making my setup much easier to manage.
