I agree, it’s bizarre that sync control is tied to each project as opposed to a global. It should be reversed in my opinion, at least for the way I use it…
Agreed, not ideal.
I have several copies of a ready-to-use project template with all my mixer/midi/clock settings that I use often saved on CF card.
I also try as much as possible to keep to the ‘one song per Bank’ method as this keeps Project wide settings consistent.
