eramones Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi guys! Am recently got an Helix unit, after been using for 5 years the hd500 I decided to update, but I found a few diferents things and one it's the looper, I don't know hi to configure the looper to keep looping between different presets as I used to do with hd500, usually I do weird effects for background and then a change to other presets for other clean wierdo effects.... if someone can help me I'll appreciate, the loops stop right in the moment I swamp presets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsdenj Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I believe the looper will work across presets if it is the same looper block in each preset. The manual explains this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eramones Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Interesting, I didn't try that opción Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanecgriffo Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 yes it has to be on the same path between presets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicLaw Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I was just exploring this today after reading the OP. So long as the same type (Mono or Stereo) of Looper Block is defined in the several Presets and is positioned on the same Path amongst several Presets, it will continue playing and preserve its contents (if not playing) as you switch amongst such Presets. Using Factory Presets SetList 1 (fw 2.20). I recorded using the Looper existing in the first Preset (001). [Note: I set my Globals for Numeric; not Alphanumeric]. The Looper continued replaying as I advanced through the Presets to Preset 013, where it unexpectedly stopped! This I discovered was due to the fact that Preset 013 has a Stereo Looper defined. The preceeding Presets all contain a Mono Looper Block. Similarly, when the next Factory Preset was encountered where the Looper format or Path location changed, it stopped again. As I recollect, this was Preset 033 where the Looper was defined on Path 2. Presets 044 through 047 all contain Stereo Looper Blocks, so advancing back and forth amongst them did not terminate the Stereo Looper Block playback nor wipe the Looper's contents.

MusicLaw Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I did not explore whether Path A vs Path B presents any issues. My guess (and it is just that) is that it would not, as both Path A and B share the same SHARC DSP; whereas, Path 1 and Path 2 each have their on independent SHARC DSP.
