I believe it depends on how you have your footswitches set up in Global Settings - stomp only, stomp/snap, or snap/stomp. My Helix LT is set to stomp/snap, where I have 4 stomps on the top row and 4 snapshots on the bottom. If I hit the Mode switch, then it looses the snapshots and shows 8 stomps. If I wanted to see 8 snapshots, then I hit the up and down buttons simultaneously. My assumption is that if you by default run 8 stomps, then hitting mode with either bring up 8 presets, or 8 snapshots. Hopefully that provides some insight.
