willjrock Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Seems like user definable default settings, for a block inside Helix isnt atop the L6 priority list. What about an export function, so that our favorite block presets can be saved permanently? Maybe user defaults are something that is planned for the future, but in the meantime this is something that is easily implemented? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleclee Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Personally, I just cut/paste block settings across presets but you could always put that request on IdeaScale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 That doesn't work so well with snapshots. Not surprising actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe user defaults are something that is planned for the future, but in the meantime this is something that is easily implemented? I essentially do this now using a custom preset in the TEMPLATES setlist. I create a lot of FX blocks with my favorite settings and simply store them in this preset. The preset is not meant to ever be used for playing - it's just a repository. I then save this preset for safekeeping and archive purposes. Then, at any time, I copy/paste this block with my preferred settings into any desired preset under construction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there are work-a-rounds, i just hoped that it was an easy implementation. I guess you could always save a favorite block to a preset and then export that preset if you felt the need to back it up, but boy would user defaults make sense IMO.

Custom user blocks that showed up in the block menu in their respective categories, e.g. Modulation, Distortion, etc. along with the Helix default blocks, would be great! Hoping there is enough memory on-board that we could get at least a few user defaults for each category without detracting from other future features that may also require additional memory. Until then I do what silverhead does and that is when I find a custom setting I really like I store it in my Templates directory for copy and paste. You just have to remember to backup your custom presets in the Templates directory when you do a firmware upgrade as the global reset deletes and then refreshes the Templates setlist with the latest factory templates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
