Helix Stadium Floor – Expression Pedal Parameter Randomly Jumps to Physical Pedal Position Product: Helix Stadium Floor Firmware Version: 1.3.2 Issue Summary: Parameters assigned to Expression Pedal 1 will unexpectedly jump to the pedal's current physical position without the pedal being touched. This occurs after a variable amount of time and causes audible changes during use. Description: I have Expression Pedal 1 assigned to one or more parameters using the Menu > Controller Assign method (not Learn Controller). The expression pedal behavior is set to Preset. When I save a preset or snapshot with a parameter at a specific value, the parameter initially recalls correctly. However, after a period of time (sometimes around 30 seconds, sometimes longer), the assigned parameter suddenly jumps to the current physical position of the expression pedal even though the pedal has not been moved. I have observed this behavior on multiple parameters, including: Delay Mix Delay Feedback Amp parameters The parameter always jumps to the actual physical location of the pedal rather than remaining at the stored snapshot or preset value. Expected Behavior: The assigned parameter should remain at the saved preset or snapshot value until the expression pedal is physically moved. Actual Behavior: Without touching the expression pedal, the assigned parameter suddenly updates to the pedal's current physical position. Steps to Reproduce: Assign Expression Pedal 1 to a parameter using Menu > Controller Assign. Set the parameter to a desired value and save the preset or snapshot. Leave the expression pedal stationary. Wait approximately 30 seconds to several minutes. Observe that the assigned parameter may suddenly jump to the pedal's physical position. Additional Information: Expression pedal is set to Preset behavior. Assignments were created through the Controller Assign menu, not Learn Controller. The timing of the jump is inconsistent. No physical movement of the expression pedal occurs before the parameter changes. The issue is reproducible with multiple parameter types. Troubleshooting Performed: Verified expression pedal assignments. Confirmed pedal is set to Preset behavior. Re-saved presets and snapshots. Observed the same behavior on different assigned parameters. Questions: Is this a known firmware issue in version 1.3.2, and are there any recommended diagnostic steps or workarounds?

For me it only works when manual assign is selected

Hey Rob, Since you have the midi cable for your BB you might try sending the midi tempo signal to the Helix, the time based effects sound great when synced to the tempo, set the delay times to note values. Your tempo led will turn blue when synced.

Tried 2.12 a few times and had to go back to 2.11. I think the problems have been mentioned, Freeze's, Variax parameters not recalling etc,

2.12 caused multiple freezes and doesn't retain variax model data. had to revert back to 2.11

Glanced through this thread and don't have time to think about it but remember you can shunt exp2 out to disable it and you can set Snaps to discard changes when changing a snap in a preset. Maybe this helps :)

The combination of the editor and pedal edit mode is a pretty powerful tool team. Basic selections with editor and fine tune parameters with feet. Looking forward to editing with a touch screen and pedal edit.

Agreed! while a slider is great for linear values like volume, multiple choice is cumbersome when you can't see all the choices. An overlay across the slider indicating what and where the choices are that you could click on would be much simpler and easier. Would only require a graphic change not a program re code /FS1/FS2/FS3/TS/EX1/EX2/EX3 etc. Not worth slowing 2.0 for but up ther on Edit list my 2c..

I would also love the Editor to run without the Helix. I really liked studying others presets for the HD500 in HD edit. I does look like a server/client setup so maybe a virtual helix server could be released to run on a local machine or even in da cloud. Something like this must exist for the devs :rolleyes:

I used a old fv300 for years as a exp pedal on my HD500 it would go past 100% so I drilled a hole towards the tip and put a drywall screw through as a stop. Not the most elegant but worked perfect and could fine adjust to +-1% B)

My Jtv69 is my main guitar Mostly because of the tuning change ability. That being said I am very unhappy with the high E string slipping off the fretboard,its worse the higher up the neck. I've adapted my technique to keep it at a minimum but i'm always conscious of it and it does cramp my playing. Sweetwater has looked into it as well as filing a ticket with L6. My Strat, Jackson and others have 3mm+ distance between string and top edge of fret. Is it a neckset/angle issue? very annoying! A tech from Stewmac suggested I slightly loosen the screws and see if the neck angle will shift the retighten it did and it helped slightly. Help psarkissian Merry Xmas All! BTW I did file a ticket, Really don't want to return to L6

:lol: Thats great! I'll be able to get a lot of new products then :blink:

Did you have this problem on 104.1?
