… I recently added a mapping for the end of a song where I want a delay loop to persist but fade out over several seconds, and so I set up HS3 to do this, freeing up the exp pedal for dialing in tone between other parts of the song. It works great!
The amount of overlap among the control mappings can be liberating. For example, any HotKnob mapped to a subset of parameters, the EXP pedal to its own specifics, then map EXP to that HotKnob, as a ‘macro’ controller. Or the Preset (A) & (B) HotKnobs for making their own parameter adjustments, each mapped to the (P) HotKnob, as an override for both Presets.
The current value / treadle position of EXP pedals are saved, so that can be used as an initial startup position upon loading (to be adjusted & overridden later on). Once you start folding in HotSwitch maps & Performance switches, or a 2nd EXP, AUX switches, that’s a lot of possibilities packed into a single Program. The default settings with HotSwitches alone can be 4 Program alternates.
I often wish there were a couple more Perform ‘pages’ added, like in the newest Looper update. It’d be useful to have a bypassing page, HotSwitches page, utility control page, preset-specific page, … As configurable as it currently is, just with more control slots brought to the surface.
