Dealing with Settings

I'm frustrated with the GAIA. If I change from Tone A to Tone B, there is no way to tell what all the sliders and dials are set to for B.
How are the rest of you dealing with this ?

This is making me want to sell the GAIA and get an UltraNova.

I think the new Roland Gaia editor software will solve this problem as it appears to display the settings for each tone separately at the same time.

You can also see the values in the GAIA tool, it’s not yet nicely presented visually though. Is this functionality you would like? I could spend some time on showing slider controls for tone values etc. instead of the current numeric values.

Also in the current released version not all controls are correctly synced yet, so press the reload button to make sure you have up-to-date values. (I could release a point release which correctly syncs all controls if there is demand for it.)

But normally I don’t really use the tool for that, I either recall the position from memory, or else turn the control and find the position by hearing.

Yes, I discovered that last week when I was creating a new patch and some how forgot to sync. Patch was lost, but fortunately I quickly recalled what I did and recreated it pretty well.

Haven't done it since, now I have learnt about it. 8-)

Oh, that sucks.

Maybe I should add a dialog to ask you if you want to reload all settings from the GAIA before saving?

Actually I can do something more user-friendly; automatically re-load the patch settings in the background and compare it with the local values. If they differ, show a dialog asking what to do.

Although I improved the sync much, unfortunately I can’t be 100% sure it’s in sync, e.g. if you select a different arpeggio it doesn’t notify me of that.

Each time you add another program function, it becomes easier and more friendly to use. Thanks ...
