Tips for Creative Snapshot Use
• Theobvioususecaseforsnapshotsisdesignatingthemtospecicsections
of your song. For example, Snapshot 1 would be the Intro, Snapshot 2 would
be Verse 1, Snapshot 3 might be the Chorus, and so on.
• Turn any Delay, Reverb, and/or FX Loops blocks' Trails parameter to "On" for
seamless spillover between snapshots.
• "SNAPSHOT (X)"on a Performance view box isn't very descriptive. Don't
forget to name your snapshots—See "Renaming a Snapshot"
• Worried that further tweaking might make your tone worse, not better? Snap-
shots are a great way to compare minor changes between tones without
havingtotakeyourhandsotheguitar.
• Want to switch channels on your external amp but don’t want to waste a
stomp footswitch on it? Command Center MIDI and Ext Amp Instant mes-
sages are automatically transmitted when a Snapshot is recalled.
• Set dierent keys in Harmony Delay blocks or intervals in Pitch blocks per
snapshot.
• SetdierentVariaxmodels(ortuning!)persnapshot.
• Having diculty maintaining consistent volume throughouta song?Set the
Output block's Level parameter per snapshot.
