kill dry/mute fx in or out etc for FX on parallel path

[anason-records]

we need kill dry for FX on parallel path such as delays or reverbs. right now anytime you activate-deactivate the FX it changes the dry level.

Great idea for seascape!

you have to put a gain block on the parallel branch and set volume of the block at minimum all the way down, (if you want you could rename it Mute instead of gain).

when it's on =mute when it's off= unmute.

In that way you mute all the parallel branch.

if you switch off all the effects on the parallel, you have a dry signal summed to the main path so the volume increases.

paolo thx, i know there is ways around but this is not the purpose...some stuff should be logical and straight forward. i know its a new device but...whatever i made my mind and put my helix for sale. still thx for your advice

Why not try setting the mix of the reverb / delay block in the parallel path to 100% - this does kill the dry signal.  Then you use there FX block's level control to add in as much of the reverb or delay as you want?

 

Granted this only really works for one FX block in a parallel path at a time...  you could have a delay block with mix set at 100% followed by a reverb block (not set at 100% unless you wanted it really reverby) - but then all the delays would have reverb on them - and not the dry guitar signal at all.. as it would not pass the delay block.

as mentioned above there are ways around i am aware. but instead of doing alot of stuff, programing buttons etc...i am asking / talking about a straight forward feature. i have another modeler which has all these things and i know how important these features are. helix is far away from its true potential right now. far far away.
