inveigle Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I searched but came up with nothing, Right clicking or pressing the delete key has no effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inveigle Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 I find it odd that you can't just hit the delete key within the Helix application. Perhaps the upcoming Helix Edit will have a better, more intuitive solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 It does seem odd. It's one of those things you take for granted and expect to work and when it's not there, you stumble over it. I've done it too. The HD Editor didn't have this either, so I wouldn't expect the Helix editor to have a simple delete to defaults option either.

VicKlonin Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Can someone point out where the "Clear All Blocks" button is located on the PC editor? All I can see is the "Clear Block" option. I don't think it would be wise to simply hit the "Delete Key" on your (PC editor) to delete the entire patch until there is an UNDO / REDO button added on the Editor page. Otherwise you could delete a patch & then get really pissed when you learn you've just deleted a Patch by the flick of your "Fickle Finger". Yikes! That would be awful if you spent hours creating a masterpiece! If Line 6 were to ad a "Delete Patch" then I think it should become part of the current option menu that opens when you (right click & are presented with) "Copy, Paste, Import, Export, Rename" a patch. A delete function on the drop down list followed by "Are you sure?" would help but I still think as a safety precaution an UNDO / REDO button would help incase you really messed up. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedFinger Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I find it useful to create some starter template blanks I can copy and have a clean slate to work with. That way you have some basic things you use without starting over every time. Clearing all blocks is easy enough but many times I want to keep certain effects I use and their settings. What I would like is a way to change the default settings on effects and amps etc to what the user would set them rather than the factory defaults many if which are OK but the amps in particular I have to really mess with. Be nice to be able to store your own defaults for various amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrence_Arps Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 why delete it at all? seems pointless to me. If you want that patch location for another sound then overwrite it...if not just leave it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 why delete it at all? seems pointless to me. If you want that patch location for another sound then overwrite it...if not just leave it there. Well, for me, things can get really, really messy unless I occasionally overwrite the junk with something that tells me, at a glance, a preset is empty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verne-Bunsen Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Clearing all of the blocks will not reset any changes to the input/output block parameters. The simplest and most thorough way to wipe a preset is by copying a blank preset over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorloher Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I would like to be able to rearrange my presets in a much easier fashion, similiar to the functions on a computer. Move enmasse, delete single or many presets at once. Just be able to easier move presets around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorloher Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I use the editor, but unfortunately it's not very user friendly when it comes to easily moving presets around or deleting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_m Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 So I guess no one is smart enough to answer,- how to delete a preset...? You can't delete presets. You just overwrite them. Smart enough for ya'? B) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEngel1965 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Well, I guess I meant, smart enough to figure out how to delete a preset. Seems like it would be useful to be able to do so.... I just want to clean up my set list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 How do you delete the colour of a wall? It always has some specific colour. You can repaint it to make it 'neutral' (whatever that means to you). Similarly, you can overwrite a preset to make it 'empty' (whatever that means to you).

FrankEngel1965 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Good point silverhead. I figured out way to do it!, well this puts it back to "new preset" as if you deleted it and it's back to new as you never changed it. Just copy a "new preset" and paste it on a preset you want to delete. I know to some of you it seems silly but it helps me clean up my set list so I don't get confused...with presets I don't like or want to use. When your on stage playing out you need to think fast and I only want to see what I can use. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicLaw Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Compared to the user expectations for file management in current day applications running on a current computer, the existing Helix Editor program sure leaves a lot to be desired. I don't think I am alone in expecting that the forthcoming overhauled Helix Editor will be more contemporary. We'll know once it's released.

kwelduvel Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Which would be insane considering there is a clear all blocks option :) Well, I just deleted every block on about 15-20 presets and now I'm reading this :D Damn! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joepeggio Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Imagine the oops factor of accidentally deleting a preset or multiple presets with one click. I like the work-around, very intentional way it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up what a PIA - crazy you cant just delete them or at least have a reset for user presets - hope they can come up with a faster solution - I like to start fresh if I want as it gets confusing with IR'S from purchased presets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
