harosha Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hello All, Is there a way to lock tempo while scrolling through patches? I like to scroll through different patches when I am working on a song to find the one that works and it's kind of a pain to change tempo for delays every time a new patch is selected.

You can choose for the tempo to be stored per snapshot, per preset, or globally. Just select the option you want under Global Settings --> MIDI/Tempo --> 'Tempo Select'. Set it to 'Global BPM' while you are previewing your presets. Once you find a preset you like you could save the desired tempo in that preset and then reset the global option to 'Preset BPM' or 'Snapshot BPM'.

Digital_Igloo Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 As a shortcut, you can also just touch the TAP switch—Tempo Select appears above Knob 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think of a Helix question while I'm using it at a gig, then I forget about it after the gig is over. And this is one of those times! Thanks for asking, harosha... and thanks for answering, HonestOpinion! I just took a look in the manual and it's right there; DOH! Then I immediately pulled my Helix out of it's (backpack) case and set tempo to "global." I always wanted the tempo to be global. The last thing you want to do when you switch to a lead patch and charge into a solo is tap the tempo in. I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't think of this a couple of months ago, but grateful that it's been asked and answered here. This is why I lurk much more than I post around here!
