If you’re MIDI mapping the preset buttons this is a bit tricky.
Short press selects the preset to load.
Long press on a preset button makes it the last preset that is accessible by clock or CV input. The buttons for any steps after the last go slightly darker gray. You can still write presets in those slots, or manually select them.
The tricky part is MIDI-mapping. For some things - like Mixmaster mutes - you need to set the CV mapping to toggle.
But the 8Face must have ‘Momentary’ mapping. If the mapping is set to ‘Toggle’ if you hit that midi note, it will be interpreted as a long press, and make it the last preset.
Has there been discussion of creating a module that does what the 8Face used to do? That could be something that I could take on, if it’s still possible in Rack 2.
I’m trying the betas right now and wow: transit. Holy crap. Game changer. I would definitely pay money for just this module alone (though I’m also loving making labels with ‘glue’!)
Using 8Face to create different snapshots/presets of the new patchmaster modules which in turn control the entire patch will be my pleasure task for the weekend!
Yeah 8FaceMk2 combined with PatchMaster is a very powerful combo!
And Ben’s new S++ module which imports multi-row Rack Selections with midi mapping intact (which for some reason Rack does NOT do), makes it possible to build then import and reuse your PatchMaster constructs with 8Face preset control in other patches.
Another one of Ben’s modules that works great with PatchMaster is Strip - it can also save/import with midi mapping intact but only if everything is on one row of course. But Strips ability to randomise multiple modules in a Strip with one click (while excluding any controls you don’t want to be randomised) is a great addition to PatchMaster - try it with Omri’s DFAM interface for example.
