Got it-thanks. BTW, the Triaxis as a preamp driving the Helix with impulses is creating some formidable sounds. Just awesome. And I've been very impressed with how large the community is. You can search for pretty much anything Helix and get an answer-thanks to folks like you!

I haven't been able to find the global midi part in HX Edit?

I'll try that. Thanks for the help! I'm sure this probably helped others who are trying to do this as well. I'm not a midi novice, but the Helix is new to me. My back hurts fro the hours spent hunched over this thing!

Got it! What I was doing wrong was in command center. To properly assign midi commands to each individual footswitch in Snapshot mode, you have to select the Instant Command (Lightning Bolt), then actually push the footswitch you want to individually program, and assign a midi command to each one. Now it seems simple! This is awesome because now I can go from clean to crunch to heavy without changing a preset, hence no "preset dropoff". Very cool... Thanks for your help!

I assume you're referencing the "Instant Commands"? I want to select different channels per snapshot. Are you saying I would need to add those midi program changes in the Instant Commands? Not on an individual foot switch?

Hello, I am using my Helix with a Mesa Triaxis as a preamp (sounds fab!). Here's my question: If Helix is set up in Snap/Preset mode, can I send midi program changes with each snapshot within a preset? What I am trying to accomplish is to set up a snapshot where I can have a clean setting on Triaxis on one snapshot and another dirty setting on Triaxis on another snapshot. BTW, midi program changes work just fine with each preset, but snapshots appear to do nothing. Any ideas? Thanks!
