    I love the new cab engine. It feels good to move a mic around in real time instead of scrolling through lists. I did some comparisons with the York IR's I like and the new Cali V30 cab is a legit beast. Haven't even made it past that one yet but I don't think I'll need IR's anymore. Cabs make up for so much of the tone and before IR's were the best option IMO, but that's such a rabbit hole/money pit and after that whole experience I'd much rather use something that was specifically designed to work with the amp sims I'm using. I think they really nailed it here, everything sounds and feels much better to me than it did before.

     

     

     

    I'm always interested when someone has both devices and can make a comparison because I had my eye on an FM9 for a while, but like you, I feel the last update really put us back in the fight. The new cabs changed the Helix for me, I couldn't use any high gain patch without an IR and now, I don't use third party IR's in any of my new patches, just a combination of the new cab's. I don't feel the need to look at an FM9 at the moment. I think with the Helix, it has so many good features that with a few updates on the sound quality puts it right up there with the best again.

  2. So it's an interesting journey for you then, you've decided to move on your old gear and go with the Helix for your pink floyd stuff? Was that just a practical transporting decision?

     

    Which band do you play in and where do you play? I've been on the lookout for a floyd tribute band to go and see around the London area.

    Also, check out this page... It lists all the delay settings for nearly all of Gilmours guitar parts, including different versions.

     

    http://www.kitrae.net/music/David_Gilmour_Delay Time Library.html#:~:text=DELAY SETTINGS - Most of the,time of around 377-380ms.

    Great stuff thanks a lot, I'll check out the sites too. For comfortably numb complete track then, what would your Helix chain be because obviously we don't have exact models of all of the gear you mentioned.

    Your Strat, Hiwatt and the Ubiquitous Vibe (a Univibe). Add some reverb, I'm not at home so i can't remember the settings. That's the starting point for Breathe. Use this setup up for a starting point on Dark Side Of The Moon. I'm pretty sure he used a Fuzz Face on that album. Use that for the Time solo.

    Excellent.. and what is the effect he's using on the comfortably numb solo, is that a chorus or a phaser? Have you got an actual chain as an example I can try?

    Hi, 

     

    I'm new to Helix, literally only bought it on 17th January... But so far really happy with it. I play in a Floyd tribute and was looking on line for an IR of a WEM Starfinder cab. I found one that's a WAV file, but they say it's only available for use on an Axe FX. I was of the impression that WAV being a standard format could be used across different units.... Am I correct, or are WAV's created in a specific modeler only for use in that specific modeler??

     

    Cheers in advance, Andy

    Andy, off topic sorry, but as i saw you play in a Floyd tribute, I was interested to know how you've planned your chain in your presets for that because my next project is to create some floyd presets on my Helix floor. I've really got into Floyd in a much bigger way recently so I'm keen to try and recreate some of Dave's tones using my Strat as a starting point. I know Dave used the Hiwatt and a bunch of effects but I'm guessing you're a pro on setting this all up?

     

    Cheers

  6. I can probably offer some advice on getting nice rock distortion tones, been messing with that for a long time and now have some good results.

     

    I can't understand the exact nature of the problem though. Is it that you just can't get good rock tones, or they're too noisy? Or something else is wrong?

  7. On 12/29/2022 at 5:03 PM, rd2rk said:

     

    Partially correct. "Copy/Paste All" is fine if all you want is for every FS to do the same thing in every snapshot.

    Refer to the last fix I sent. Is that the case? No.

    If you're in SS2, what is the point of having a FS wasted by being assigned to SS2?

    In each snapshot I assigned the FS for THAT snapshot to go back to your general rhythm snapshot.

    That may not be exactly what YOU want it to do, but the point of every fix I sent was to teach you how to use CommandCenter, and there's more to it than copy/paste.

     

     

    Incorrect. In Helix Edit CommandCenter, just right click on any FS and you'll see the copy/paste all options.

     

    Yes I did get that in the end that you can assign various functions within each snapshot as per your examples. For what I wanted to do it was just a copy and paste. The point I was trying to make though is that without the copy all paste all step, you can't even get a simple layout to work which is what was confusing me.

     

    So the copy all/paste all function being on a right click in hx edit - again not very intuitive for my liking, admittedly I didn't try that, I was looking at the menus in command centre where there are snapshot copy options but no copy all paste all, which is where I expected to see that. 

     

    The ironic thing is that when you know all of this, using command centre is pretty quick and easy, but figuring out the procedure isn't very easy.

    I'm going to edit a lot of my presets now to take advantage of the custom layouts. Once you've made your snaps jump around in a song specific performance order, it's really hard to go back to the old snap shot mode. 

     

    I'll experiment with more layouts, probably break it, and be back shortly lol.

     

    Happy New Year chaps!

    What do you mean by "swap over"?

    You want to move SS1 from FS1 to FS3 and SS3 from FS3 to FS1? Touch (don't press) both switches and push the "OK" knob.

    Done. Repeat as needed until the switches are arranged as desired.

     

    I can make any changes I want in a preset, because I know how it works.

    The whole point of that last fix preset was to show that you can make not just one, but MANY changes without breaking CommandCenter.

     

    You want me to write a tutorial on how to use CommandCenter to do anything in any situation?

    Why do you think that L6 hasn't done that? Because they're lazy?

    No. Because there's lots of possible interactions, and NO WAY to guess what any given user might want to do in any specific situation.

     

    You asked for certain things. I gave you demo presets showing how those things are done.

    Study the presets I've made for you. When you press a FS to go from one SS to another, what are the settings in those snapshots? How do they interact?

     

    I've explained that you can use a FS or IC for a certain FUNCTION that has certain PARAMETERS, and that you can change the PARAMETERS between snapshots but not the basic FUNCTION. A FS can't switch from the SNAPSHOT FUNCTION to the PRESET FUNCTION between snapshots. If you change the FUNCTION of a FS or IC in one snapshot it changes the FUNCTION of that FS/IC in ALL snapshots.

    But you CAN have different PARAMETERS assigned to that FUNCTION in different snapshots.

    If you assign a FUNCTION to a FS/IC with a specific PARAMETER other than the default, that FS/IC will have the DEFAULT PARAMETER assigned in all other snapshots. That's why if you assign a FS to go to a SPECIFIC snapshot, when that snapshot opens the scribble strip for that FS will say SNAPSHOT^.

    SNAPSHOT is the FUNCTION assigned to the FS across ALL snapshots, ^ means "NEXT" which is the DEFAULT PARAMETER of that FUNCTION in THAT snapshot.

    You can then change the PARAMETER in the second snapshot, but not the FUNCTION. 

     

    Also, don't forget, if you have "SNAPSHOT EDITS" (Global Settings>Preferences) set to DISCARD, that is EXACTLY what will happen to your edits when you press that FS and go to the assigned snapshot! Set SNAPSHOT EDITS to RECALL! Then, just to be sure, when the edit works as expected, SAVE THE PRESET ANYWAY!

     

    Before I go any further, understand that all those caps in my explanation are not YELLING, they're EMPHASIS on the terms you need to understand and pay attention to if you want to understand this stuff.

     

    HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT - start with a NEW PRESET.

    In SS1 assign FS1 to SNAPSHOT2.

    SAVE the Preset as TEST1.

    Change to the next Preset, then change back.

    Snapshot 1 was SAVEd as the DEFAULT snapshot so that's the snapshot that loads when you load the preset.

    FS1 Scribble Strip says SNAPSHOT2. Press FS1. Now you're in Snapshot2. FS1 Scribble Strip says SNAPSHOT^.

     

    Now, in SS2 change the PARAMETER of the Snapshot FUNCTION assigned to FS1 from NEXT to SNAPSHOT1.

    SAVE the preset, go to the next preset then back.

    You SAVEd the preset with SS2 as the default, so SS2 is loaded and FS1 Scribble Strip says SNAPSHOT1.

    Press FS1. Now you're in SS1 and the FS1 Scribble Strip says SNAPSHOT2.

    Now change the FUNCTION assigned to FS1 from SNAPSHOT to anything else.

    What is the assigned FUNCTION in each snapshot? What do the Scribble Strips say?

    Now imagine that your INTENTION was for FS1 in SS1 to do whatever, but you wanted FS1 in SS2 to still switch to SS1.

     

    IT DIDN'T WORK! COMMAND CENTER MUST BE FAULTY! WHY DIDN'T HELIX TELL ME THERE WAS AN ERROR?

    It did. Right there on the Scribble strip. It didn't say ERROR because there's no way Helix could know that it wasn't your INTENT.

     

    Whatever FUNCTION is displayed on the Scribble Strip in any given snapshot is the FUNCTION assigned to that FS in EVERY snapshot.

    Only the PARAMETERS can be changed between snapshots.

    This may be part of L6's reasoning behind not allowing custom naming of the Scribble Strips for CommandCenter assignments? Displaying the FUNCTION acts as a VERY low level "WARNING! DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THIS?"

     

    Lastly, it is possible to corrupt a CommandCenter configuration. Nobody knows HOW or WHY, and since it's nearly impossible to do it intentionally and consistently, there's no way for L6 support to figure out what's happening. Sucks, but it is what it is. Computers. Programmed by silly humans. If we don't tell them EXACTLY what to do, there's no telling WHAT they'll do. Enter Skynet. Exit silly humans.

     

    I hope the above helps with your understanding of CommandCenter, and also why there's no "Idiot's Guide". All of that explaining only covers ONE aspect of using CommandCenter for a SPECIFIC purpose.

     

     

    Okay so this is working now. Nothing wrong with my Helix. Observations as follows, may be of some help to others..

     

    It's simply a case of copying over all of the assignments into each snapshot layer. It doesn't work when you do it once in one snapshot.

    It's not very intuitive and it's not obvious but I don't need to understand the tech reasons I just need to know how to make it work, which I now do.

     

    Mettalkid mentioned the copying over a couple of times, I'm sure RD mentioned it also - but we've been over explaining this which has become confusing

    for me to follow when basically what is needed is just a description of how to copy the layout onto each SS. Let me explain..

     

    If you make your assignments in command centre while in your first SS, it's all good, but you have to copy all and paste all into the other snapshots. That's it!

    I only had to do paste all once, I didn't have to do it while physically in all the other snapshots, so even easier.

     

    Where it gets confusing is that I was editing command centre using Helix edit, and there is no copy all or paste all - but it is there if you do it on the Helix itself.

    You can imagine how confusing that is when someone says paste all the settings across and you can't see an option to do it. Why are there different edit options

    in Helix edit compared to the unit itself? Not very helpful start.

     

    Disappointingly, none of the Command Centre youtube videos I watched, made any mention of copying the settings across to the other snapshots, so that is also

    confusing and misleading - and surprising as it's the fundamental part!

     

    When you know all you have to do is 'copy all' across to the other snapshots in your preset, it's really easy and it works like a charm. I've managed to customise

    my original preset into an extremely useful performance tool so that's the upside.

     

    Thanks to you two guys I did get there in the end and I'm glad I did because i can see now that the custom layouts are the way to go for specific song presets especially in a live performance situation. I'll now go back to endlessly tweaking my tones now I've solved command centre lol.

    If you're going to reference a video, provide a link. A timeline reference is also helpful.

    The color/naming options are available for everything EXCEPT HX Snapshot, HX Preset and HX Looper.

     

    Here in this video at around 4.47 he's assigning a snapshot but he's got switch LED and name customize options.

    I haven't got that so either of those when I'm assigning a snapshot to a switch. I notice you said on your previous post

    that those options aren't available for snapshot, but he's got them here, unless that's been removed in an update I'm confused by this?

    Snapshot 1 was SAVEd as the DEFAULT snapshot so that's the snapshot that loads when you load the preset.

    FS1 Scribble Strip says SNAPSHOT2. Press FS1. Now you're in Snapshot2. FS1 Scribble Strip says SNAPSHOT^.

     

     

    I'm on to it Boss! Haha I'm just kidding - will try that though. Happy for this to be all my error rather than the Helix of course.

    My globals were always set to snapshot edits recall anyway so I know that was never the issue.

     

    I will report back with my progress!

    If I was to only move the rhythm down a footswitch, and only change rhythm>chorus and chorus>bridge on the 1st snapshot layer....then potentially you end up with a mess because on Snapshot 1, it would all look correct.  However on 

     

    Snapshot 2/3/4 - the footswitch now assigned to rhythm would read "SNAPSHOT" because it hasnt been assigned on the SS 2 layer.  But also they chorus/bridge assignments would not be 'moved down' as well.  they would be in the original layout of Rhythm>Chorus>lead.  

    Perfectly explained and that is exactly where I have been going wrong with this because I haven't been applying changes to every layer.

     

    So that's been an error on my side which I can correct. When you open your command centre and looking at your assignment options on a foot switch, are you getting

    the option to change LED colour and snap shot name?

  12. I just watched a command centre video by Steve Sterlacci, and in his command centre he had options to change the foot switch colour and rename the foot switch,

    both of those were under where the press/release assignments are. I don't have either of those options when I open my command centre, and I'm on the latest update.

     

    Is your command centre showing you those same options RD? My command centre is screwed isn't it? I need to re-install the latest FW

    "I swapped over one of the snaps to a different snap just to test the theory"

     

    A configuration is exactly that, and you can't just take a piece from here, stick it over there and expect the system to go on functioning as designed.

    A liver is NOT a spleen.

     

    I'm going to be honest here. While there's always the possibility that there's a problem with your Helix, it seems more likely that you still have not fully grasped how CommandCenter works, and your attempts at custom design are doomed to failure until you do. Your best bet is to just go back to using the basic, default functions as they were designed by L6. Play your guitar and maybe keep a copy of this preset as a "project", or experimental learning tool. Revisit it when you're feeling uninspired on guitar. Eventually you may experience an "AHA!" moment and it will all fall into place for you.

     

    Good Luck!

    So are you saying then that having programmed the last preset you attached, you yourself can't go back to that preset in command centre

    and swap over the function of any of the switches? I can't believe you cannot edit your own custom layout?

     

    I also think you're right though and I haven't really grasped the correct approach to this. Can you explain step by step how you would go about making one of these

    custom presets like you attached? It doesn't matter what functions you assigned, I just want to know I'm following the correct basic steps.

     

    Thanks

    Here ya go.

     

    I've made a few mods. Well, rather extensive mods, based on your snapshot and my own experience of how performances go.

    The MAIN reason was to prove that it's really difficult to corrupt the preset through CommandCenter. At least, on MY Helix!

     

    The preset opens on SS3 - Intro.

     

    From any snapshot you can quickly get to any other snapshot. Whichever you choose, that snapshot switch then leads to MAIN RHYTHM.

    The way that works is similar to how you set the RELEASE function in the snapshot you're IN. In that Snapshot the PRESS function is set to SS1-MAIN RHYTHM.

     

    The exception is FS9-SS3-INTRO. To get to MAIN RHYTHM from there just quickly PRESS and RELEASE FS11. unless you're doing the quick solo thing.

     

    You'll notice that there are 2 SOLO switches. They work the same way in every snapshot.

    The first, FS10, puts you in extended solo mode. As noted above, the FS for that SOLO snapshot changes to MAIN RHYTHM, but you can still get to any other snapshot.

     

    The second SOLO switch, FS11, is PRESS AND HOLD (NOT THE COMMAND CENTER FUNCTION, the practical operation of the switch) for when you want to just play a few notes before jumping back into MAIN RHYTHM on RELEASE. Again, this works the same way in EVERY snapshot except SS3 -  quick press/release in SS3 to get directly to SS1-MAIN RHYTHM.

     

    Obviously, this configuration leaves only the one FS open for BYPASS functions. But, do you REALLY need FS1 and 7 to be used for PRESET UP/DOWN?

    Seems like a waste to me, but whatever. It's YOUR Helix!

     

    My point was to prove that mods can be made sans corruption on MY Helix.

    If making mods on yours causes corruption, try the various reset/reinstall procedures.

    As expected, your preset works as it should do, so the issue is when I try and make any command centre edits. I swapped over one of the snaps to a different snap just to test the theory, and it acts weird again alternating between the name of the snapshot and just the word 'snapshot', then goes back to the name of the snapshot.. and it opens the command centre when you press the switch.

     

    That's after a factory reset so the only other thing now is to re-install the firmware. I think for now I'll go back to just using snapshot mode because I've spent quite a lot of time on this and not really spent any time playing any of my guitars. Thanks to RD and Metallkid for trying to solve it though.

    Thanks RD, I'll try the preset when I get home tonight. I did a factory reset last night but haven't re-installed the latest firmware again yet. I think it's obvious at this point that it's my Helix with the issue. I'll make an edit on your preset and if it still doesn't work, I'll re-load the firmware. If that doesn't fix it I think I'll call it quits because I'm not sending the unit back to Line 6 for this. Hopefully this thread will be helpful for anyone else who hits the same problem with command center and can't understand why others seem able to edit it easily but you can't do it yourself!

    When I edited that preset to add that temp SS change/return thing you wanted, the preset continued to work correctly in addition to performing the mod.

    That leads me to think that something in your Helix is causing corruption in CommandCenter.

    After trying the above suggestions and a factory reset, you may have to resort to a full FW reinstall.

    FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FW INSTALL!!!

    After the MANDATORY (post FW install) Factory Reset, and after you restore your presets and Globals, if it's still a problem you may have to contact support. You might have a HW issue.

    Actually do me one more favour if you can so i can rule out any possibility that i've completely lost my mind over this - 

    On the fix2 preset, add a snapshot to any of the spare switches along the top row, any snapshot it doesn't matter, save it and attach it and 

    tell me step by step exactly what you did and i will check it this end, delete that switch and try and re-add it.

     

    I know what the result will be but it's worth one last go before I completely abandon command centre feature.

    Cheers

    Yeah i know the drill for doing FW updates and the reset and restore. Something is wrong with it. Up until now i was doing command centre editing on hx edit so i wasn't really looking at the unit itself. Only just noticed today that when i step on a snap that i've tried to add to your preset, it acts weird and opens command centre on the unit again which obviously i haven't asked it to do, so yeah the editing aspect isn't working.

    Might just not have mentioned it but also do a restore of your backup as the final step. Then let them do the one-time rebuild after a restart before trying to edit anything.

    Yep doing the restore now. I'll probably just re-load the fix2 preset again and see if that sorts it out.

    The CommandCenter configuration had become corrupt. I deleted everything in CommandCenter, saved the preset, then recreated the commands.

     

    So, everything is working as desired now?

    Update on this.. it's not - when i use your fixed preset, all is fine. If I try and edit your preset, it goes back to what was happening before.

    In fact, if I assign something to an unused switch on that preset, when i play through it and press the new switch, it opens command centre

    on the helix itself (not in hx edit though).

     

    On a google search i can see others have had that issue so i'm doing a back up and factory reset. In summary it seems that I can play through

    a preset programmed by others using command centre without any issues, I just can't edit any of the presets my end.

    Yep as far as i can see, everything works as you would expect now, so what i'm going to do now is use that last preset you sent over along with the one sent by 

    mettalkid, and start programming the preset to do exactly as I intended to begin with and when I've broken that, I'll send it over to you to be fixed again lol.

     

    Thanks to you two guys for being patient and helping me get this sorted, I would never have figured that out myself.

    I feel like i can extract that bit more out of the helix now which is very satisfying.

    Tried it and it's a disaster! Okay I'm kidding, you nailed it and low and behold no double tapping and the switches do what they should which is very encouraging.

     

    So what voodoo did you have to do to sort that out?

    Not yet, it was 11.30pm here last night when i was still looking at it - then figured out what i said above and rather than go to bed, I fired up the Helix again to test that and realised where i was going wrong lol.

     

    Going to try your 'fix2' preset this morning, then going to try to to edit metallkid's layout to suit my layout.

     

    But you're right, I need to know why some switches don't work with one press. I think someone did mention you can assign double tap funtions to the f/switches but i have no idea how to do that

    I've explained this at least twice, @themetallikid has confirmed it. I'll try again. ON RELEASE needs to be set in the Snapshot that you are ACTUALLY IN.

    If you PRESS the switch in SS1 and that takes you to SS3, the ON RELEASE action needs to be set in SS3 because that's where you'll be when you RELEASE the switch!

    I've made some progress.. so the part that got lost in translation is that in command centre, to see what each foot switch is ACTUALLY doing, you can't just click on the switch icon in the command centre display - you have to have the actual switch on the helix engaged - then the bloody display changes to what the real assignments are.

     

    I don't know why i missed that point, I don't feel like it's an obvious thing to have to do but there we are, that's obviously what you were trying to say.

     

    So now, i have correct assignments. I can make my solo snap jump back to my rythm snap which is what i want.

    I still have this double tap issue on one switch though. It won't engage with one press.

    Going to check this. Aside from that, why would my switches still need a double tap to engage - on your FIX preset when it's not doing it your end?

    Here ya go. Some were set to PRESS/HOLD, some had RELEASE or HOLD actions assigned to them. Since you didn't think that was the case, I suspect you need to examine the way you approach your creation/troubleshooting method. Start with SS1. When it's all set the way you want it SAVE and move to SS2. When you've set up all snapshots, write down which ones aren't behaving as expected and re-examine them. Keep in mind that if you use a switch to temporarily move to another snapshot and want to return to the original snapshot (or do ANYTHING) ON RELEASE, the ON RELEASE action needs to be assigned in the TEMPORARY snapshot because that's where you'll be when you release the switch.

    Yep mine are still all set to press/release so we're seeing two different things in command centre.

    On your fix preset my command centre is press/release/none on all snaps - but the first two snaps still don't engage without a double tap on the switches (just those two)

     

    Is it me or is my Helix doing something very unusual here? Don't forget, all switches work fine in regular snap mode and stomp mode. I'm only getting this when i'm using command centre
