AZGuitar Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 So I found myself spinning the tempo to various BPM's for different songs in last weeks set. I have been using the global setting for tap tempo. I use multiple snap shots with varying gain staging, delays, reverbs, etc. I use expression pedals to control various parameters within each effect using the mode toggle to go between snaps and stomp mode. Love it, Life's good! Am I missing the fact that I can have a vintage delay set to .1/8th in snap 1 at 76 BPM's and a vintage delay in snap 2 at 120 BPM's? How about snap 1 - .1/8th 76 BPM and snap 2 - 1/4 at 120 BPM if my global settings are set to per preset? Or does it have to be a different type of delay to have different BPM's within the preset? Path 1B are my individual delays while 2A delays are part of my ambient preset but there is a vintage delay on both paths. Thanks for anyone's input. -AZ Guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 If you use the note value instead of milliseconds option, there is only one master BPM tempo for your delays at any given time. Either the one set for the patch or the one that is global. you can't do one of one and one of the other. It's not logically possible in Helix. If you need odd delays use ms, not note values. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 You can have a different saved BPM saved per snapshot as long as you select "Snapshot BPM" under Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo... It will still react to tap tempo once you're in a snapshot, but the saved tempo will be recalled whenever you bring up the snapshot. Personally, I've never found much use for the Global BPM setting as I always figure it's very easy to re-tap the tempo in... None of the bands I play with can maintain that consistent of a tempo anyway. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZGuitar Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 You nailed it PeterHamm. "If you use the note value instead of milliseconds option, there is only one master BPM tempo for your delays at any given time" And I think this is true regardless of delay type, at least in a single snapshot. And Phil you are correct, I am just an analyst in my day job.... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
