Is there a faster way to scroll thru programs on the NS3?

Postby zahush76 » 02 Apr 2018, 07:12

Hi!
Just got a new NS3 H-76 a few days ago and.
I know the programs are devided into 8 banks of 50.
I can scroll one by one, one after the other using the encoder.
There's also the option to use the 5 program soft buttons and advance each time thru pages of 5 programs.

But, let's say for example, that i'm on bank A program 01, and i want to jump straight into bank D.
Do i have to scroll thru all the programs between A 01 to bank D in order to get there? Or is there some elegant shortcut? Is there a quick scroll? Can i specify that i want to go straight to bank D or E or whatever?

If you turn the encoder faster the programs scroll faster, so you can "almost jump" across them, try.

Twist the encoder quickly to jump to the next bank. That’s still three twists from A to D, though.

Set List Maker or similar on an iPad, if that isn’t enough.

I don't think analogika is making any assumption, rather he is just letting you know another option (which btw is a available also on Android) that many people use today to manage setlists and related program changes.

Other than that and the already mentioned quick Program knob turn, the answer to your question is: there is no other way, as of now.

A "trick" may be to create a song/setlist which points at the first Program of each Bank and use it as a "fast select".

No.

I’m assuming you have a problem and are looking for a solution.

What I find frustrating at times is; if I scroll to H05 Program and then use Song Mode to select a Program which may be in B07, when I un-press SONG mode, it doesn't return me to H05, it returns me to B07. Now I have to scroll to H05 all over again. I wish there was an option to "remember" the program prior to SONG mode.
