I’ve had my Super Gemini for a few days now and am really loving it. I spent some time editing performances today and encountered (what I think is) counterintuitive behavior.

1. I loaded a performance from bank A as a starting point, and edited each of the patches.
2. I loaded a patch preset from patch bank A into the upper layer.
3. I wanted to save my new performance in bank B, as all the slots in bank A are filled with factory presets–I thought I could do this by holding shift and pressing the performance button.

I accidentally pressed the performance button twice while holding shift. Instead of switching between banks A and B, this action defaults to comparing the current/memory performance, and overwrote the performance I wanted to save. This is a pretty minor thing, but I think it’d be more intuitive to swap between the A and B banks (for patches and performances) as long as shift is held. As it is now, the first press is considered a bank swap, and the second is considered a current/memory load. Now I know not to do that–just a small suggestion for the future.

I’ve been thrown by that too. Haven’t lost work thankfully. It does seem a bit odd because in all other instances shift remains active if one holds the button.

I just got my SG on Friday, loving it too 😄 Managing performances vs patches threw me for a moment as well, it’s a step up from the Super 6.

I was wondering why the SG uses shift to change banks vs the way the Super 6 works, by a double tapping the button. That seems like the most intuitive way, bypassing the shift button altogether. But maybe I’m missing something.

The S6 doesn’t have “performances” so pressing the “patch” button can have a direct action. On the Gemini/8 when one is in a performance, a single press of the “patch” button is required to put it in patch selection mode, which is required in order to populate both parts of the performance.
