The way I´m using it, either switches on an effect (Pitch Wham, Sustain) or activates a snapshot while the footswitch is pressed. So it seems I should probably be better off programming the actual snapshot and effects changes, thanks for the answer

Sorry, I should have been more specific, I´m programming a MIDI track on my DAW, to later be used on a device that plays backing tracks (synths, click track, etc.), which has a MIDI out that is connected to my Helix LT. What I´m trying to acomplish basically is to automate the changes of effects that I´m doing manually using stompbox mode. Using the footswitch midi CC´s I´ve had success in replicating this set up so far, except for the hold footswitch behaviour, so what I´m asking is if there is a way to do this. For example midi CC50 emulates footswitch 2, if I use a value of 0-63 nothing happens, if I use a value of 64-127 the footswitch is pressed but only for a moment, is there a way to send a midi message that holds the press of the footswitch?

I'm programming midi changes trying to emulate the way I switch effects manually, for some effects (i.e. whammy) I hold the footswitch to switch it on/off. Now I'm aware that I could do this using snapshots but is there a way to copy this behaviour using the corresponding cc to the footswitch required? Thanks in advance
