Title: Power-cycling makes OB-6 forget which patch I was on?
Post by: Spacebat_Al on October 14, 2019, 11:51:41 AM
Hi
Sorry if this is a dumb question but....

When I turn my OB-6 on it always shows patch 000. So if I was using Patch 002 today, then powered the OB-6 down at teh end of the day. When I power it up tomorrow I will see Patch 000 and not 002.

Is this normal behaviour? Or have I accidentally turned something on/off somehow.

Thanks for any advice (bit of a novice user here)! :-)

Yes, it's normal. Every time you go into the globals it will remember the current patch you're on upon turning the unit back on.

Thanks for your reply. I am still a little confused though.  'Every time you go into the globals it will remember the current patch you're on upon turning the unit back on.' does you mean I can turn something on in Globals that will cause my 0B6 to remember which patch I was using next time I power it on?  My OB6 always powers up on patch 000 no matter which patch I was using before I powered it off.

No, simply going into globals will do the trick.

Another way of saying 1000 Eyes' solution is 'when you're on the sound you want it to start up on, press the global button twice in a row.'
Hopefully you got that already, but just in case ;)
