Exit a Stage Setting without updating

[Greg Rochlin]

I saw Mike Martin do this trick in the video but I can't for the life of me replicate it. EXIT doesn't work, nor does repeated pressing of "<". 

 

(I am talking about the keyboard interface.)

 

Thanks

Exit should work.  You have to exit all the way out of your edit functions without having written the stage setting to memory.  Then if you press the second value of the stage setting, it will choose the state it was in before you tried any changes.

 

For example, if you were in the middle of editing setting 3-6, EXIT all the way out of the edit screens, then press 6 again to recall the stage setting as it was.  

 

If you had written your changes to memory (using the Write button) somewhere along the line, then its previous state won't be recalled.  you'd have to load the old stage setting back in.

Ah got it!  So the key is, to look at the symbol to the left of the setting number. A '!' means edit in progress. When you press the 6, in this case, the symbol changes to '*' meaning edit not in progress (and cancelled).

 

However the '*' symbol seems to mean something else during the WRITE operation.  If I press WRITE, after modifying the setting, I see 

WRITE STAGESET [*0-6] even though the operation is not complete. 

 

PS. I see that I can alternatively press 7 instead of 6, and this will change to 0-7 and cancel the edit.

Hi,

 

The selection of a stage setting aborts the edits you did if you didn't write them to memory.  You can choose any stage setting and the non-committed edits of the previous one will be gone.

Yes, I have a feeling this is what you saw Mike do.  Simply pressing the current stage setting number button again trashes the edits.
