Thanks - Still didn't work - but I figured it out. FS1 in the command center mode is actually the Bank Up footswitch! So what we think of FS1 on actual board is actually FS2 to the command center. So, no problem, I set FS2 to cycle through Snap1, 2, 3, 4 and back to 1. Works like a charm! Thanks for your time, REALLY appreciated! tc

Thanks Schmalle - but having a problem with changing between snapshots using FS1. The use of the Instant function is working fine, thanks for that tip. As I am set up, Snap1 has the first value I need, Snap2 has the second value, and if I manually choose a snapshot the Timeline is changing accordingly. Perfect. So now trying to implement a footswitch to "toggle" between Snap1 and Snap 2. In Snap 1, going to the command center, I have selected FS1. I have moved the option selection to show Command -> HX Snpsht. First thing I notice though is that the Customize option is greyed out, not active...Hmmm... Anyway: Command -> HX Snpsht. Behavior -> Press/Release Press -> SNAPSHOT 2 Release -> None. Testing just this much, pressing footswitch1 does nothing. It has no display, does not change anything. Just to test more, I then manually open up SNAP 2, and set FS1 to now go back to SNAPSHOT 1 (Press->SNAPSHOT 1) I save all that, which brings the screen back into to Stomp mode. FS1 shows no display, just blank. Pressing it does nothing. So for whatever reason, I am unable to set FS1 to be my toggle to move to SNAP 2. I'm concerned that Helix doesn't allow me to "customize" FS1 in HX Snpshot mode. That seems like a clue... Any ideas?

Ah! will give this a try. Thanks for the mega-fast response!

Hi all - If I am not mistaken, the Helix limitation is ONE MIDI setting, or series of MIDI settings, per switch/instant/exp pedal, per preset. Within that preset, you can't change any of the switch/instant/exp pedal MIDI values assigned to that switch/instant/exp pedal on the fly. (Technically, I believe you can assign multiple MIDI settings to a single footswitch, so they all fire when the FS is pressed, but that is not what I hope to accomplish) What I am trying to do is, within the same preset, change via MIDI, the delay preset on my Strymon Timeline. Example: the song starts out using Strymon Timeline preset #51, but switches mid song to delay preset #55, for example. Only way I see right now is to either dedicate another Helix footswitch to call the second delay (ugh! I need the footswitch for other uses) or go to a different Helix Preset altogether. Double ugh! Ideally, I'd like to press the footswitch to call up setting #51, then click it again to call up #55, and maybe even click again and call setting #54. One more click and we'd be back to setting # 51. Comments welcome. Thanks, Tc

May 24, 2020 9:30 PST UPDATE: found the global reset options, and that "worked". Helix is responsive again. but, lost ALL of my ow presets of course. Can't say I am happy about that... May24, 2020 9 pm PST During download/install of Helix ver 2.92, (from ver 2.71) the process almost completed, but then failed, and now I cannot get the Helix to work at all. The install proceeded as expected, was almost done, but during the "Rebuilding Presets" portion, the unit whizzed through but stopped on Preset 411. I waited for a very long time - 5-10 minutes?- and it never completed. So I turned the Helix off, and back on. It appears to start loading back up, normally, gets to the end of the boot but then displays "Rebuilding Preset 411" on the Helix screen, and does nothing more. HX Edit does not recognize the connected device (yes, the USB cable is plugged in as it should be). So, it appears it is basically locked up and cannot be accessed, at least, not through HX Edit or the Helix unit itself. HELP?! is there a big ol' system reset capability somewhere/somehow?
