Helix Foot Switch Assign Question?

[djd100]

In my quest for having a pedal setup similar to my Axe FX Ultra rig, but all-in-one etc, can you loop MIDI out of the Helix, then back into the Helix (via a cable), and assign 2 foot switches to control the Looper via MIDI CC (Rec/Play/OD, Play/Stop), while leaving the other foot switches available in Snapshot Mode to call up Snapshots.

In other words, is it possible to over-ride the coded Snapshot Mode FS assignments with MIDI CC/IA assignments while in Snapshot Mode (which means the FS's assigned to Looper duty just not call up Snapshots etc!)?

I'm looking to NOT have to change modes to utilize Snapshots and the Looper, and 6 Snapshots is enough per preset for me.

 

Though I haven't bought a Helix yet, I've read the 2.0 manual and I didn't find the definitive answer (though I'm a Helix noob too LOL, so I might have missed it)?

 

P.S. Please add stand alone tube power amp sims for those of us who are tube preamp users!

 

TIA!

I don't think you can do what you want in snapshot mode.

But, in pedal board mode, if you do the midi out and back in thing, I'm pretty sure you can set up custom controls. Some could be Looper control some snapshot.

What I think would work better is getting that Morningstar pedal and adding it to Helix, then you could do 4 stomps, 4 snaps, plus looper control on a separate pedal.

Thank you for the reply, interesting, so in Stomp FS Mode I might be able to do it, thanks, I'll re-read that section of the manual.

 

Yes, a additional pedal is always a possibility, but then it's another power supply and cable etc, hoping to avoid the hassle.

 

I see that I can assign MIDI CC's to the Stomp FS's in Stomp FS Mode via the Command Center, but I don't see that I can decouple the FS's from Blocks, or assign them to Snapshots?

 

I see that in Snapshot Mode you can also assign MIDI CC, but I can't see how to decouple the FS from it's Scene?

 

What am I missing?

 

Thanks...
