Projects & Snapshots
Project
A project holds everything about one performance setup:
- 32 knobs and all macro mappings
- Up to 8 racks (MIDI device chains)
- 16 LFO configurations and assignments
- Snapshots for scene recall within the project
- Clock source and BPM, default MIDI channel, and encoder-button shortcut
Use Main Menu → Project → Library to create, load, rename, or delete projects. Clock, channel, and encoder live under Project Settings. See Project for save and list workflows.
Note names (Middle C as C3 or C4), MIDI Thru, contrast, firmware, and bulk migrate stay on this S32 under Settings.
Typical workflow:
- Create or load a project from Main Menu → Project → Library.
- Set clock, channel, and encoder under Project Settings.
- Build racks, macros, and LFO routing.
- Save Project when you want changes to survive power-off.
- Use Save As on the Library side menu to fork a copy under a new name.
Switching projects with unsaved edits may prompt you to save or discard. Loading a project applies its clock and channel and stops transport.
Snapshot
A knob snapshot captures the 32 pot positions in the active project for instant recall during a set. Open the slot grid from Main Menu → Snapshots after picking Knobs — see Knob snapshots. New slots are named S1…S32 from the slot number.
A rack snapshot captures device parameters (and the Step Seq pattern) for the highlighted rack. Open it from the rack-list side menu — see Rack snapshots.
An LFO snapshot captures all 16 S32 LFO configs (and CV16 configs when present). It does not store assignment wiring. Open it from the LFO-grid Options menu — see LFO snapshots.
Arrange is a 16-row song grid of already stored snapshots across Knobs, LFOs, and racks. When the playhead lands on a row it recalls occupied cells as a scene; rest (--) skips that bank. Open ARRANGE from Main Menu (first item) — see Arrange.
Morph glides from the live sound to an occupied pad (this bank's FADE TIME; Arrange playhead uses Arrange FADE TIME). Another occupied pad retargets. See Morph.
Use snapshots when:
- You need fast scene changes (intro / drop / outro) within one project.
- You want to experiment, then jump back to a known point.
Use Save Project when:
- You changed structure (new devices, macro modes, LFO wiring) or Project Settings and want it after power off.
TIP
Live take and recall live on Main Menu → Snapshots (the BANK pad) and on the rack / LFO side menus.
TIP
- Build and Save Project once per song or set.
- Use snapshots for sections within that set.
- Save As on the Library to fork a variation under another name.
