Mooseboy08 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hey again, folks— In using my new Helix, I found myself wondering if the Performance Mode (as on the LT) is available on the Helix. tia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuhajla Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Not sure what you are referring to in "Performance Mode". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooseboy08 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Thanks for the quick reply, and since I'm new to the Helix world, it's entirely possible that I'm not using the correct term. What I see on some of the Helix LT demo videos is that the LCD screen can be switched over so that it shows large colored rectangles corresponding to the footswitches, since it doesn't have scribble strips. They can be seen easily in the opening thumbnail of this video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/zWMnHVsU2NU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenmargavich Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 From what I've seen in videos, no. The regular Helix has the scribble strips which serve the same purpose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hey again, folks— In using my new Helix, I found myself wondering if the Performance Mode (as on the LT) is available on the Helix. tia. There's no need for it on the regular Helix. Performance Mode was created because the LT doesn't have scribble strips. The scribble strips contain the same information.

datacommando Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Helix LT is a total different beast when it comes to the screen display of which FX blocks are in use, the original Helix has Scribble Strips to display FX On/Off status. Damn! Looks like I will have to learn speed typing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuhajla Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Ah, got it now. I guess I need to learn some of the terminology concerning LT stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooseboy08 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Ah, got it now. I guess I need to learn some of the terminology concerning LT stuff. Oh man… you're light years ahead of me right now anyway! And I did check the FAQ for the LT, and it really does seem to indicate the same thing that the other replies to this topic say; that is, the Performance Mode is only considered necessary on the LT because of the lack of the scribble strips. For me, a man of, shall we say, "distinguished vintage", the Performance Mode display is very appealing (older eyes). Is there a "codger" emoticon on this forum? :D Thanks all, for the quick replies!
