Good tips, playing my strat this Sunday so will give this try tonight. The Minotaur is great as well, I use this with an expression pedal to roll the gain from .9 to 5.4 in my case with my mule buckers on my primary.

I love my Matrix, simple and sweet. Wish mine would reproduce...

Nice tone man! I need to try Reaper

Good discussion, appreciate the feedback. This is interesting for anyone following this conversation. http://www.dvfugit.com/beats-per-minute-millisecond-delay-calculator.php Per snap shot does solve my challenge as well, I use the snaps with different gain stages so multiple snaps for any given song. I need to consolidate this method, that's part of what makes Helix the musicians dream pedal board.

Question is if I have transistor delay set to .1/8 and vintage set to 1/4 note, can I have a different BPM assigned to each? Or, is this option only available if I have each delay set to milliseconds? We all know what global means and what a snapshot is, my brain freeze is on the "per preset" definition and the note value versus milliseconds. I believe the answer is in the last paragraph but thought someone might have an opinion for the group.... From the manual.... Knob 5 Tempo Select The “Speed†or “Time†parameters of all tempo-based FX can be set to a note value that follows Tap Tempo or the tempo set with Knob 6 (Snapshot BPM/Preset BPM/Global BPM). Choose whether the Helix tempo is stored and recalled with each snapshot, recalled with each preset, or is applied globally across all presets and snapshots. 6 Snapshot BPM/Preset BPM/Global BPM This is an alternative way to set the Helix tempo, as opposed to stepping repeatedly on the TAP footswitch. Depending on the Knob 5 (Tempo Select) setting, this value is saved per snapshot, per preset, or globally. The Helix device's tempo has a resolution of 0.1 BPM (beats per minute). You can also quickly access this parameter at any time by briefly touching the TAP footswitch. LIKELY ANSWER Page 25 Time Adjusts the delay/repeat time, with higher settings providing longer delays. Press the knob to toggle between ms and note values. Choosing a ms value provides a specific time in milliseconds; choosing a Note Division value provides a time based on the current tempo. With a note division value, this parameter’s value is retained when changing models. This being same delays or different delays.. :unsure: ..

Yep, Lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings tomorrow, then off to GC. Indian Bend and Pima, who's in? :D HO, MXT, Ricstudio, CHuskey, Frank, DI, Ben....

Thanks for sharing, felt like I just went to church! Very nice tone!

Angels are singing, That was it! FS 9 is a little weak when doing by hand. Never really had an issue with my shoes on and I don't really want to take the time to send it back home. I should have thought of that, you sir should get a gift cert from DI. Thank you!

WoW! Just loaded 2.20 from online versus my hard drive. All good, rebuilt presets, restart holding 9 and 10 and same deal. No message, no wipe... Not sure now if I should try 2.21 again, plain as day I need to do the 9 10 reset

I'm sure that's it, doing it now...thanks and will let you know for whomever is interested

Same as before. I am trying to go from 2.12 to 2.21. Maybe I should download 2.20 first??

I have the floor, been playing since I posted and it sounds awesome but I agree. I did update off line for whatever that's worth. I did like I have always done and as you wrote. I agree, will update again and see what happens.

So just updated and when I restarted holding 9 and 10 it did not give me the "Will reset globals..." message and did not rebuild presets. Just booted up, I see Firmware 2.21 and helix comes on. Any thoughts from you guys? Edit: I see the plastichorus and vintage swell so the presets appear to be there... More...I downloaded the update and then updated my helix off line. All of my global settings were wiped clean. New amps and effects are there. But...my previous user presets, mix and feedback settings are all in place as well as my IR's.....hmmm

Pre order and First Run from Sweetwater for me, No issues ever. My rotation is with 2 other great players both using toasters. Our very experienced sound tech loves the tone I am getting. My.02...

You nailed it PeterHamm. "If you use the note value instead of milliseconds option, there is only one master BPM tempo for your delays at any given time" And I think this is true regardless of delay type, at least in a single snapshot. And Phil you are correct, I am just an analyst in my day job.... :D

So I found myself spinning the tempo to various BPM's for different songs in last weeks set. I have been using the global setting for tap tempo. I use multiple snap shots with varying gain staging, delays, reverbs, etc. I use expression pedals to control various parameters within each effect using the mode toggle to go between snaps and stomp mode. Love it, Life's good! Am I missing the fact that I can have a vintage delay set to .1/8th in snap 1 at 76 BPM's and a vintage delay in snap 2 at 120 BPM's? How about snap 1 - .1/8th 76 BPM and snap 2 - 1/4 at 120 BPM if my global settings are set to per preset? Or does it have to be a different type of delay to have different BPM's within the preset? Path 1B are my individual delays while 2A delays are part of my ambient preset but there is a vintage delay on both paths. Thanks for anyone's input. -AZ Guitar

Glenn's patches are great as many others are here as well. I use them as templates and tweak to my own taste, fav amp and application. Beauty of helix interface, Native is going to be awesome!

Doing mine tonight, always updated flawlessly in the past. New MAC this time so hope all goes well.

That is what I figured, appreciate the quick reply.

Try the Fender FXA 7's if you can. https://www.amazon.com/Fender-FXA7-Professional-Headphones-Gold/dp/B01C5TESJ2 Sounds the same as my Matrix FR10 which I use to dial in my presets for live use. On stage I am direct only to house with the 7's in my ears. Mr. amsdenj is 100% correct in the post above. my .02....

Quick question,...Old mac fried where I had all 2.12 backed up. Should I load 2.11 editor to BU everything to new mac and then load new editor and 2.20 to bring them back to Helix? Or, will the new editor be all I need to BU 2.12 and then restore after update? FWIW, I always BU my key presets as well as play lists separately as a fail safe. Call me redundant yes but I am an analyst by trade...Anyone need housing data :wacko: Thanks!

I have a gig on Sunday so have to sit on my hands and read about all the good stuff. Somebody needs to post some vids of the new delays. 🎸

My Mac Book bit the dust, sucks! I never had an issue with my Helix and MB so somewhat reluctant to do anything but replace it.You guys using Windows or Mac?

I run XLR to FOH at mic level with the pad on. If my memory serves me the mic level is roughly an 18 db cut from line. The other guitar player is using a kemper the same way. Our levels at the board are virtually identical. He uses aux in for out from aviom, the kemp has the ability to control output of aux in. I have to use effects loop on separate path for aviom feed to avoid sending band mix back to house. [i put a suggestion for effects loop routing on idea scale a few months ago, might have died, have not checked...] We both use headphones out to monitor our rigs individually. My large knob is 12-1:00. I have a matrix FR10 I have used on 1/4 out line level with this same set up, XLR to FOH at mic, just makes for a loud stage. A little different than your set up but might be help for some.

Very nice Scott, Panama is an amp I need to spend some time with. When the 2204 Mod landed, I wrote all my patches around this killer amp and stayed with it. Beauty of the choices in Helix my brethens. Have a cold, consume wasabi.... :o :o :blink: :blink: :) :) And now I can breathe....and hear how good that guitar/amp sounds. Thx!
