If I am understanding correctly you would save the preset multiple times with different snapshots as the default and navigate to that because there is no way of setting a button go to a different preset with a specific snapshot.

Ah, yeah. That could work. So Preset 2 would have copies of itself but with the default snapshot set differently. Thanks.

This may not be possible, so the full question is: "Is it possible to set a stomp box button to navigate from whatever preset/snapshot I am using to another preset WITH a specifc snapshot selected?" I know that using the Command Centre I can make stomp mode button take me from whichever preset I am in and whichever snapshot I am in to another preset OR to another snapshot within the current preset, but I can't see a way to select which snapshot is loaded when moving to another preset. For absolute clarity, say I am using Preset 1 and have the board set to stomp mode with one of my footswitches set to take me to Preset 2, is there any way to have that take me to Snapshot X from Preset 2? I know that I can set the default snapshot on any preset, but that would limit the flexibility of this, say I wanted a button that takes me to Snapshot X of Preset 2 from Preset 1 and another to take me to Snapshot Y of Preset 2 from Preset 1.... Any way to do it using MIDI controls, but no external gear? If no direct way? Probably a long winded way of asking this... sorry!

Well that's just the start isn't it - once I know what I am doing I could apply it to all sorts of things!

Cool... I don't even know how to begin, what would I need on my laptop (or iPad) to trigger a loop? I can pre-program the instruments, but wouldn't the MIDI loop also have information about tempo and couldn't that be hooked up to the tap tempo feature in the Helix?

Hey all, I am not very good with technology when it comes to this sort of thing but it seems what I want to do should be achievable: Is it possible using an iPad or laptop to trigger a MIDI loop of a 4 bar riff using the footswitches on the Helix and have it hook up to the tempo of the Helix? We have a keyboard player, but she's unavailable for NYE and just one song we really want to play has a 4 bar brass part repeated 4 times over the choruses and I was hoping I could trigger it from the Helix?
