When editing a saved patch I would like to have a visual indicator when the saved value is the same as the current value being edited. Perhaps the manual button can simply blink once the saved value has been reached. ---

Very good idea! I’m sure George will like it as well. Yep, short blink of the Manual button should do the trick. ---

Only just acquired my Super 6 - loving the sound and the hands-on nature of it. Would love this feature (flash of manual button when matching saved value). Similar feature orks a treat on the Prophet 5 next to it. ---

…or another solution might be to reverse the mentioned edit mode blink: Manual says: “As soon as a patch-related parameter is changed, the LED of the currently lit numbered button (1-8) will start flashing, indicating that you are in edit mode.” What I mean is: _the moment you change a setting of a specific rotary switch, rotary control, fader, button, or toggle switch the current patch number led will start flashing(as explained above and in the manual),_ **but if you then reach the original/saved setting/value/position again, it stops flashing and is lit permanently again** …just thinking… maybe “easier” to implement - I really don’t know 🤔 ---

I was really hoping for this too. Seems like a purposeful omission. If this is an intentional choice and not coming in a future update, it would be nice to know so we can stop waiting for it. ---

Agree with this one - Fader/knob catch-up mode plus current value indication. As goodweather says - when you hit the value in the current patch for any control you are adjusting the Manual LED should momentarily light up. ---

Yes, this is the way I was hoping it would work as well. No blink means you’re back to baseline. ---

This is what I replied to a post on Gearspace after seeing yet another comment comparing the Super 6 white module to a Star Wars console, this time the Millennium Falcon’s. “As of 2025, we’ve observed that while the Millennium Falcon’s navigation system had indicators for returning to course after drifting, the Super 6 does not. 😉” I am still hoping for its implementation. 🙂 ---

it is the only reason i don’t buy a super gemini… too frustating to not see an indicator of initial value of parameter when edit it. As soon as UDO say it will add this functionnality i will order one… ---

This might be one of the more important practical updates UDO could make that doesn’t go to far off the original vision of no screen or computer. Sequential’s implementation is incredibly useful. I only just saw someone way back had the brilliant idea of using the manual buttons lights to indicate, since they are obviously always off when using a patch. I really think that’s the way forward. ---

Could also use the 1-8/A-H leds to give an indication of how far (and in which direction) the param is from its saved value - same way the leds work for ±100% in the mod matrix. Takeover mode would also be cool. Though such additions would be best off made optional, so that those who don’t want the behaviour of their Gemini to be altered aren’t forced into it. Meanwhile I have implemented an external takeover (or what you call catch up) mode in my plugdata patch, for those who enjoy such things: [Uncle Wayback's Ultra Gemini Thread - #7 by unclewayback](https://forum.udo-audio.com/t/uncle-waybacks-ultra-gemini-thread/3602/7) (I will be separating out the takeover mode in a future update, so you can use it without the gui & stuff, however it will only work automatically with performances, as the SG doesn’t send PGM changes for patches) ---

Yes, I had a similar idea. That would be great if it worked that way: > [@"Catch up" mode support for Super 6?

Maybe show the current value of the slider with a blinking light. This could also be done for the toggle switches (lowest position = 1, middle = 2, highest 3) and rotary knobs (most left = 1 etc.). While long pressing the manual button and moving a slider (or to…
