I’ve raised the idea of automatically loading a particular snapshot, or remembering previous states when powering down/up (as was the case with a previous FW iteration), but it’s never got any response (which perhaps tells me something!) Anyway, I want to elaborate on why I think this would be so useful.
With the versatility and scope of the E1 I can’t be the only one using it for more than just synth controls. My E1 is second only to my sequencer as the hub of my extensive setup. It’s a mixer console (Bluebox), MIDI filter/translator/router, CC LFO, effects modulator (Eventide H9 and others), performance controller (just about everything), and more.
This means I have many related presets pinned and doing their thing, all with specific snapshots for particular projects, setups and scenarios. Currently I have to load every snapshot and pin presets at the start of every session. I never want to break my flow by loading the webapp to name snapshots, so I also have to work out semi elaborate ways to store associated snapshots (by grid position, generally, but this isnt ideal).
Maybe it’s just me, but how cool would it be to be able to save and recall multi-preset projects to avoid all that! It could be achieved as simply as specifying snapshots to autoload and pin, or remembering the previous state before shutdown. Ideally it would be a separate thing, where you can save and recall the current state of open snapshots and pinned presets.
The E1 would be even more useful as a master console for everything then!
