Entering a value in an FX column should default to the last effect used in that column

Entering a value in any FX slot of any track should automatically change the effect type to match the last effect used in the steps above the current step in the same FX column of that track.

What is the problem?

Entering a value into any FX slot does not reference the last effect type used in that FX column in that track. Rather, it defaults to the last effect type used in any FX column in any track.

What should this feature achieve?

Entering a value into an FX slot should automatically select the last effect type used in that FX column in that track.

Are there any workarounds?

Constantly manually switching between effect types when entering values into FX columns across different tracks.

Any links to related discussions?

Couldn’t find any.

Any references to other products?

No

Thank you for this wish. I totally get where it comes from :slight_smile:

I have a clarifying question: When you talk about “last” effect used in a column, do you want the device to remember what effect was last applied anywhere in this column (for all columns independently), or should it look for the most recently used effect in the steps above the step being manipulated?

Ahhh ok, I see what you’re saying.

I mean “last” as in the most recently used effect in the steps above the current step.

Thanks for that.

Cool. I’ve updated the wish to be more explicit about this.

Much obliged!

Imagine you want to apply a particular type of effect (lest’s call it FX A) to steps 1, 5, 9, 13 and so on. You configure step jump to 4. You set the desired effect (FX A) at step 1. The cursor now jumps to step 5. Now, imagine step 3 has another effect (let’s call it effect B) in the same FX column. If this feature gets implemented, once you move to the step 5, currently selected effect will change to FX B.
Speaking more generally, entering the same effect across a sequence will be a nightmare, because it’ll change to the nearest FX above and you’ll have to constantly select the effect you need manually.
