An updated setlist since 0.6
I figured since Bank 16 is the bank I use in live settings, as it features the top of the line tones, I am somewhat referring to it as my LIVE bank, where it contains the 4 patches ill need, and can be edited for each set we play.
This update changes banks 11-16. It adds several tones, and refines the artist tones.
The tones that are new from the last update are
-Experiment (15B, and 16C)
-Mesa Boogie (15A, and 16D)
-Metallica 1984 (15D)
-There are also a few new tones scattered around, that are not very good, but just haven't been replaced
The bank structure is:
--Banks 1-4 are clean patches
--Banks 5-10 are dirty/heavy patches
--Banks 11-12 are artist series banks
--Banks 13-14 are empty slots, where tones are currently tested before receiving a spot (a few tones can be found there, that may or may not be any good)
--Banks 15-16 are the LIVE banks, they feature the top of the line sounds, bank 15 has backup sounds that are moved into bank 16 depending on the set. Bank 16 is the live worship set, that contains 2 clean patches, and 2 heavy patches
Current Bank 16 or LIVE setup
A: Clean 2PH 3CH (The go-too clean patch)
B: Clean U2 2PH 3CH (Same as the Clean 2PH 3CH tone, except it features a delay that mimics a U2 type sound)
C: Experiment (The go-too dirty patch. Think late 90's early 2000's Metallica)
D: Mesa Boogie (Very thick, can melt walls, neatly disassemble cars and intricate tools)
Notes
*Bank 4 is still empty, as it has no good enough clean patches yet
*The artist series patches have always been there, they have just been neatly rearanged
Upcoming Ideas
In the future I'd love to add more clean tones, and remove some of the ones that arn't spectacular. The 5-10 dirty/heavy banks are a mess, they are full of hit or miss tones, and has no identity. I'd love to get some solid tones in there, but if I don't find them, I have to make them, and that takes time. I am still perfecting the Metallica 1984 sound in bank 15-D. It closely resembles it as of now. In the future I may break it off as a James Hetfield artist series tone, but haven't decided whether to have one James Hetfield tone, or have two, each replicating his tone as its transformed over the years.
I would also love to sound match the tones through pan's, db boosts or cuts, amp settings, and master volumes so it's more seamless transitioning from one tone to another. That way a dirty tone wont make you too loud, or the dirty tone is at a good volume, but the cleans just are not there. This would make soundcheck smoother, and allow you to still have volume no matter what LIVE tone you choose.
Additionally:
Since we have free banks, there's no reason why I can take your favorite tones that you use, and put them in somewhat of a LIVE bank for you too. It could be any bank from 13-15 no problem. This would allow you to have your favorite tones you use to be in a bank you are familiar with in each update. If you ever switch a tone out for something you like better, I can just re arrange them into that bank in the next update, so it will be there by default when you update.
