Geoshred - Switch scales & layout without reloading preset & instrument

in General App Discussion

I want to switch between scales and keyboard layout mid-performance, and being lazy and unskilled I want to use diatonic keyboard layout for each scale. But I can't find a way to do this without the delay of re-loading a new preset with the same (GeoSwam) instrument.

Thoughts from other GeoShred users? @moForte any advice?

    For every GeoSWAM and Naada Instrument there is a preset called "*Scale" which has buttons on the control surface to select the root and scale. For instance "GeoFlute Scale"

    Thanks! Is there a way to shortcut that to just 2-3 buttons or a slider, that will just pick from the small handful of scales I use in that preset? Going through UI selection from the entire scale set is too cumbersome to do in real-time, mid-performance.

    Hi @des1303 ,
    Can you not create a preset for each scale / instrument combination and then put these in a Setlist for each song. Only takes a few minutes.
    In the example below I have created two Setlists, Song 1 and Song 2 and then put three different presets in them to represent the different scales etc.

    GeoTony's solution is a good one. There are over 250 scales in GeoShred and selecting can be cumbersome. Creating a short set list with presets with just the scales you want is a great solution. You can just use the flipper to flip between them, or you can use the drop-down to directly select.

    Just tried with the flipper, response is usably fast. I will use this, thanks @moForte and @GeoTony .

    one more. Do you know that Root and scale respond to MIDI? You can assign control surface elements to a MIDI controller. For the scale you could have an external set of buttons on a MIDI button controller that sends the MIDI controller value for to select a particular scale.

    Any link for this? It sounds very promising.
