Copying layers between patches

[hcoblin]

Had my Rev2 for about two weeks now and I must say it greatly exceeds expectations! And a lovely complement to my P12.

My only (minor) gripe is that there isn't a utility to copy a layer from one patch to another. Copying/swapping WITHIN a patch can be done, just not BETWEEN them. That would be extremely useful and seems like basic functionality.

That functionality is present on the older Prophet'08, so it is a little surprising that there's no obvious way to do it on the Rev2.

Interesting. Looking at the P'08 manual, the "copy layer" function was implemented in the Global parameters. I would think it would make more sense when editing a patches split/stack, but I'd take it where I can get it.

You know, if anyone else thinks this would be a useful feature to have, you might want to chime in. If DSI are monitoring the Forum, I'd hate for them to think I'm the only one that cares about this (with all due respect to DSI, naturally).

This feature request is on our internal request list. As the Rev2 has just been released we won't be adding any new features until we revisit the Rev2 OS sometime later, but I can tell you that I personally will be pushing hard to add this one to the synth.

Agreed.  I love my Rev2, but would like to copy layers from one patch to another as easy as the copy split/stack function.  Thanks for finding that in the global parameters.

Thank you so much, Robot Heart!

Nice!  Is there a place we can submit for new features to be added/changed?  Such as the hold function? I love it, but would like for it to hold the next key or notes I play instead of adding it to what is already there.  It quickly turns into a mess

[Robot Heart]

The best place to submit feature requests is our dedicated support channel: support (at) davesmithinstruments.com

The Hold feature is unlikely to be changed, the way it operates now it simply mimics a sustain pedal so if you think of it from that perspective it is functioning as it should.

How to load the program of you choice into a layer location. Whatever the B layer is, I cannot change the program as you could on a Pro-12. I can edit it but not substitute another program. Sure I could start from scratch but what a waste of time.

Any way around this?

The ability to load different programs to layers has been added in the 1.0.7.1 OS.  It can be found on the BETA OS download thread.

To load a new program to a layer, select the layer you wish to load to, press the MISC PARAMS button, navigate to the last menu item and use the BANK and PROGRAM encoders to load a new program to the selected layer.

Brilliant. So glad this has been implemented :-)

I'm not exactly getting this to work. Basically, this feature let's you copy a layer from one program to a different program's layer (A or B), correct? Meaning, for example,  I desire to copy U1 P1's layer A to U1 P2's layer B, yes? Or am I confused on this feature?

Thanks to DSI for implementing this so quickly. Awesome!

Correct, you select the source in MISC PARAMETERS>Layer on the Program you want to copy the program to.

Thanks for implementing this, DSI. It's much more straightforward than the Evolver's combo mode!

Sheesh, that's easy. Duh. Thank you

This is great ! Thanks DSI !

This is a very handy utility but please note it doesn't work if you have midi local control off, which threw me for a bit.
