Looked it up - the setting you want is in Global Edit > File > +DRIVE > QUICK MODE. You need to change QUICK MODE from LOAD to CHANGE.
Edit - hm, actually I think that’s only when you quick change snapshots. If you go into the main snapshots menu you can still load without saving the current one.
sigh okay how do I do that then? To avoid all this in the future. You know…It’ll be my third failsafe after uploading my sysex and after saving my snapshot.
Well it’s not a bug–totally user error. I wouldn’t think to save a snapshot because, you know…I would assume it kind of saves automatically. What a strange design choice. I think I’m going to go play video games now or something not MnM related at all.
In a way I kinda like the way it works, as you can have a snapshot set exactly the way a live set should start, and then be free to tweak away at the patterns… then jus reload the snapshot to get back to how it was before.
Also, a general reminder to all users to never save your user data into Snapshot 1 or Digibank 1 because those are overwritten if you ever do a Factory Reset.
I now have a fresh snapshot on number 3 that’s just my name. Currently no patterns or kits or anything… So I suppose I’ve got some work to do. And fun to have.
I know I did it once… hopefully never again, luckily I only really lost a cover of doctor mario chill out with cow moos replacing all the sounds. The world will never know what it missed out on there.
