See those little locks? When browsing patches, the locked parameters stay put. This should be on every plugin out there, whether it is an instrument or effect.



To the the Liquidsonics guy (I forget your name): brilliant.

I would have to agree with you. Nice to point this out.

Yes! I would especially like this on effects.. don't consider it vital for instruments though.

You don't see a need for it on master volume when browsing synth patches?

Yepp, the feature is quite handy on inserted effects that can be nasty if loud. Luckily AD:s Eos has it too

That might be useful, however, synths may have a different volume depending on the patch chosen. I would expect a patch to have its master volume set such that it doesn't clip the output. If I would lock the master volume, depending on the patch, the volume might be lower, or distort the output.
It wouldn't do any harm to have the option, but I doubt I'd use it.

In retrospect, I would definitely want this on the effects section of a synth.... I demo'd some synths that had almost all patches drowning in reverb, delays and chorus... Really puts me off.

What I often see is something like this: select a patch, volume is ok......three patches later, volume is wayyy too loud. Pull down the volume.......next patch volume is fine.......next patch volume is way too loud again. There should be either a master that is independent of patches, or something like the parameter lock.

master independent of patch is easy to do in synthedit.
but i think you want the patch to remember volume, precisely
for that reason, as stated above. devs should take care to
average out their levels depending on patch. it's said often
enough, most people have the message by now. (so should bank
porgrammers )
'locking' a parameter in SE would involve making it ignore
patch change temporarily, which is not currently available,
in SE.(oh, unless a recent version has it...Jeff???)

Never saw this future, it's very very clever.

Nexus2 has this feature!

DELETED

aether reverb got it too !

so refreshing not to go to the dry/wet or gain knob every single preset change

lock button for parameters == win !
