I’m loving the Minifreak, but for live usage, changing presets is not very pleasant. I play in a band that is constantly changing presets in guitars, bass and keyboards, and it would be very nice being able to switch to next or previous preset with a button instead of rotating a small knob and then pressing it.
As you cannot add new buttons to the hardware, I would suggest either having shift+octave up/down or introducing a MIDI command for next/previous preset, so I can connect a programmable MIDI footswitch to run those commands.
I agree, it would be really helpful to be able to change presets faster…
How about the Sequencer Buttons? Perhaps the when the Arp/Seq is Off, the Sequencer Step Buttons could be used to asign and recall favourite presets?
Or perhaps e.g. Shift + Keyboard Keys (as was already suggested on the legacy forum)?
Yes, the sequencer buttons might do the trick as well. I owned a Korg Minilogue xd and all sequencer buttons were able to save/recall presets
If this was implemented, I’d suggest making it like this (assuming arp/seq is off):
-Shift+seq button to save, probably a second tap to confirm
-Seq button tap to recall (or maybe a double tap to avoid mistakes)
In the Minilogue, I think it was long press to save, and shift+seq button to recall, but that needed having both hands free, which in my band is not usual, as the keyboardist plays two keyboard (Nord Electro and MiniFreak) ^_^U
