alistair888 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hi guys,Having a real problem with one of the functions of the Helix. Been looking all over the forums, and can't quite find anyone mentioning the same issue (or maybe they are but haven't been able to explain it). My old HD500X would allow me to set what the minimum percentage position on the expression pedal and the maximum positions could be. Then no matter where you positioned the pedal, it always worked within the 2 percentages you've set (almost like maximum and minimums). Is there just no way that the Helix will allow you to do this, without creating a separate patch already set at the positions you want? It just seems to revert back to 0 and 100% the minute you move the pedal. Really frustrating! Thanks for your help everyone! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Go to Global Settings > Footswitches > Knob 5 (EXP Pedal Position) and set this parameter to global. The pedal will act the way it does in the HD500X then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pedal will act the way it does in the HD500X then. That doesn't fix my problem Phil_m. Already tried that, doesn't change the problem I'm having. If I have the expression pedal all the way down (which is 100%), then change the position manually to say, 90%, the minute I touch the expression pedal, and re-position it back to all the way down, it's back at 100%. Not 90% which I'd set it to earlier. Am I missing something here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It's not possible to do what you want, except within the confines of a preset. You said the HD500X was able to set a global min and max? How so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said the HD500X was able to set a global min and max? How so? I'm still confused. I'm not talking about changing presets at all. I'm talking about 1 preset, not changing to another one. The HD500X allowed you to set the minimum for the expression pedal, say 30%. Then, whenever you brought the expression pedal all the way to the back, it would hit 30% which you've set, not 0%. The Helix doesn't seem to let you do this, at all. Pretty disappointing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is that once you are in the controller assign page and have them set to what you want, don't move the pedal until you are off of that page. Hit the home button to go back to the home screen, and then the pedal should behave like you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
