Thanks for the reply. Yes I tried CC toggle, but it looks like the Helix is tracking internal state rather than reflecting the state of Live as you said. I was hoping there was some communication protocol for Ableton to talk to the Helix and update it's internal state.

I have switches on the Helix floor assigned to control functions in Ableton Live. How can I have the state of the Helix footswitch reflect the state in Ableton? I.E. I would like a button that is "on" in Ableton to light up on the Helix. Is there a MIDI implementation for this?

Thank you for your patience and the additional info. It sounds like there isn't a way to do what I want currently. And yes, I do have a very reasonable expectation for gear to not be overly complex and annoying. Unfortunately this is often not the case. I did read the sections on snapshots and command center prior to your post, and still don't see any way to get around tedious repetition. Its unfortunate that the engineers have not implemented an easier way to do this, such as a master layout for control center that is overridden by snapshot-specific layouts.

To which question are you responding? Would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction if this information is in the manual? Checking the manual was of course my first attempt... a vague directive to read it again is not helpful.

I'm attempting a layout with a mix of stomps/snapshots and I'm running into a couple issues. 1) Touching a snapshot button brings up control center on the unit. I found the option to disable this functionality, but it also disables it for stomps. I don't see any reason for control center to be displayed in a live situation, but I want to be able to reach down and tweak knobs for stomps. Is there another way to display a particular stomp on the screen? 2) Control center layouts change for each snapshot. It's incredibly tedious to have to set up all the footswitches for each snapshot, and then for every single change having to make it many times over. Is there a way to have a universal layout for all the snapshots? Appreciate any help!
