How do you rename snapshots without a computer?

[strabes]

Can you rename snapshots on the unit itself or does this require a computer? Searched online and the manual and couldn't find an answer.

It can be done directly on the Helix or on the computer using the Editor. On the Editor just click on the camera icon and there will be a rename option. For editing it on the Helix just press the Presets knob to open the Setlist menu and then press Knob 6 (Rename Snapshots).

 

Tthe instructions are on Page 37 of the current manual Rev. D

Thanks for replying to this HO! I never thought about editing snapshot names on Helix.

Use keycommand Ctr-Shift-R on Windows and i guess that will be Cmd-Shift-R on Mac as 99,99% of the time when a keyboard command is Ctrl on Win the same command on Mac is Cmd.

 

But sometimes i have notice it doesnt "play" well when i use it often to rename many snapshots in a raw.

 

When that happens i have to rename another snapshot and then go back to the one i wanted to rename first or sometimes i even turn editor off and then on again before it works

 

It might be a bug or an usb-computer issue?

 

I usually named them intro verse chorus solo etc.

 

Or when i added snapshot to all fremen presets i named the first snapshot "Main" as i would know that is the Main sound then i engaged all effects that was in that preset one after one and added snapshot to those effects that have been engaged i then named them something like Add Cho,Add HP/LP,Add Delay,Add Rev and in the last snapshot i turned everything off except the Amp and the IR and named it All Off  as i wanted to study how he built his sounds from scratch :)

 

So when i get some more time i will dig into those..
