Loading Global Blocks without Linking
6.2.3
It is also possible to load normal blocks from Global Blocks without creating a link. This offers a way to “stamp”
settings into a preset without enabling the automatic synchronization that normally accompanies the use of Global
Blocks. This is useful, for instance, if you want to use a favorite setting as a starting point for a “disconnected”
variant or if you want to share a preset with another Axe-Fx II owner who may not have the same Global Block
settings as you.
To load a Global Block without linking:
First select a block of the appropriate type to insert into the
current preset. As always, remember that Global Blocks pair
with normal blocks of the same “type and instance,” so a
Global “Wahwah 1” block can be loaded into a “Wahwah 1”
block but not into a “Wahwah 2” block.
With the desired block selected on the grid, press
to
open its EDIT menu.
Double-click (or press and hold) the
button to open the SAVE/LOAD GLOBAL BLOCK screen.
Turn the
wheel to select the number of the Global Block you want to load from.
Ensure that “LOAD FROM GLOBAL (NO LINK)” is selected on the display and press
.
A confirmation message will be displayed: “OPERATION COMPLETE! YOU MUST SAVE PRESET TO
COMMIT CHANGES.”
You will be returned to the EDIT menu of the current block.
In order for the loaded settings to be retained, you must STORE the current preset.
To review:
1) Open the Global Blocks screen. 2) Load the Global Block without
linking. 3) Save the Preset. Your local block settings will now have all the
settings from the Global Block, but there will be no link between the two
entries.
