Tuner cycling between presets groups A, B & C

As I skip through my 10 presets in tuner group A, incrementing from preset A9 returns me back to A0.

Only being able to get quick access to 10 presets is simply not enough for me!


How about if this is selectable from emplode wherby another course of action could be to continue with B0 and so on upto B9, then C0, and incrementing from C9 returns you back to A0.

This would allow me to go quickly through all my presets until I hear something I like or can get to that particular preset I'm after.

What you think? Make it an emplode selectable option.

Better still, make it only jump a preset group if I actually hold the button down for a second or two. Perfect !

Am I being picky?

I asked for this same thing in this post. Nobody from Empeg commented on it, but I'd like to see this feature as well.

I second this. The current way to change banks is difficult.

just say you weren't paying much attention...

Err, difficult? A single press-and-hold on Rio remote (or is it just a press when in tuner mode?).

Using the Rio Remote while driving is hazardous to one's health. No tactile difference between buttons, so you have to look down unless you know where the buttons are... I have a Pioneer steering wheel remote for these purposes, and I have a limited number of buttons.. So changing banks is rather tough (I use my Pioneer's buttons to walk through the Radio menu.)

not everyone has upgraded to the rio remote yet

Yes, a single press and hold on the rio remote or player to make it skip to the next bank from presets A9, B9 or C9
or to skip down from presets A0, B0 and C0.

Wouldn't this please everyone?

OK you might need the RIO remote to get this feature, but it would be there on the player for everyone. And those with the old remote won't be losing anything.

That's an interesting idea, like you mean press-and-hold the "next preset" button to go from A9 to B0. That's a good compromise for me...

PMFJI, but isn't holding the "Next Preset" button supposed to seek? If you steal it for "Next Bank", how should we seek?

"but isn't holding the "Next Preset" button supposed to seek?"

Doh!

Very true

Yup. Well, then I go back to my original idea of allowing the user to select the behavior of their tuner banks (three separate banks or one continuous progression from A1 to C0).
