Fast Scene Preview

What is the problem?

As a user with a lot of scenes on my SD Card, I would like a way to quickly preview several scenes before deciding which one to use.

What should this feature achieve?

The simplest way to achieve this is by making SHIFT + SCREEN load the scene but stay in the scene browser.

A nicer way is making it consistent with the synth preset browser: load selected scenes instantly, and provide ways to either switch to the new scene or exit to the previously selected one:

  • clicking SCREEN exits the browser
  • clicking SYNTH1 (back) restores the previous scene

Are there any workarounds?

No.

Any links to related discussions?

No.

Any references to other products?

  • selecting sound presets on all Elektron devices offers that possibility
  • Modor NF-1(m) also does that (when a sound is selected with the dial, it’s active, and you have to confirm load, or exit to the previous sound)
  • Roland Sh-4d stays in the browser for sounds, and does not have exit pattern mode when selecting patterns, so you can select another one without any extra step
