Hi
I have experienced an error regarding snapshots. I copied a preset which has 8 snaps to a new location and started editing it so it ended up somewhat different than initially. When the preset was done I would like to change the snaps, but when I pressed one of the other snapshots-buttons my Helix froze and I had to restart it to get it to work. A user on TheGearPage suggested that I should Clear All Block Assignments to clear the snaps, but that did not have any effect. The only solution I could where to copy each block to a new empty preset which is a quite tedious process. Afterwards I exported both presets and had a look at the hlx-files.
The default snapshot settings will look like this:
"snapshot1" : {
"@name" : "SNAPSHOT 2",
"@tempo" : 120.0
},
"snapshot2" : {
"@name" : "SNAPSHOT 3",
"@tempo" : 120.0
},
"snapshot3" : {
"@name" : "SNAPSHOT 4",
"@tempo" : 120.0
},
"snapshot4" : {
"@name" : "SNAPSHOT 5",
"@tempo" : 120.0
},
"snapshot5" : {
"@name" : "SNAPSHOT 6",
"@tempo" : 120.0
},
"snapshot6" : {
"@name" : "SNAPSHOT 7",
"@tempo" : 120.0
},
"snapshot7" : {
"@name" : "SNAPSHOT 8",
"@tempo" : 120.0
}
When you then create snaps more attributes are added (first snap from the corrupted preset):
"snapshot1" : {
"@name" : "Rv+Trem",
"@tempo" : 120.0,
"blocks" : {
"dsp0" : {
"block0" : true,
"block1" : true,
"block2" : false,
"block3" : false,
"block4" : false,
"block5" : false,
"block6" : true,
"block7" : true,
"block8" : false,
"block9" : true
},
"dsp1" : {
"block0" : false,
"block1" : false,
"block2" : false,
"block3" : true,
"block4" : false
}
}
}
It seems like the information in the snaps are not changed correctly when the preset is changed so when choosing a different snapshot it attempts to change a block/parameter which is not there which causes the Helix to freeze. So would like to clear out the snapshots to get back to the default setting, but so far I hav'nt found a solution.
I have thought about just editing directly in the file, but it would be nice if changes in the presets were also reflected in the snaps.
Have anybody else experienced this problem?
