FlyingsCool Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Is there an easy way to move items around in a setlist? Define easy. Are you using the Helix or the Editor? In the editor, right click a preset, select copy or move, select a slot, and right click paste I'd have to get on my Helix to remember exactly how to do it there. I mostly do that stuff in the editor, but that's just me. What would you like to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getthewillies Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 I am using the editor. That is what I am currently doing. I would like to be able to insert a patch and not have to move all of the others after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyXT Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 In this case, it's probably easier to do on Helix itself; a preset you create that's at the end of the setlist, for instance, you can press the save button once, and there you're presented with several options on the encoder knobs: one of those is 'reorder...' You can then dial that, and the preset gets moved to the new position - effectively inserting it in the spot you want (it's actually doing all that moving of the other presets for you as you go). Super-easy that way. No need to actually save at that point either (hope I'm remembering this menu properly right now; I'm not near my Helix at the moment).

FlyingsCool Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 can't you shift select all the presets at and beyond the slot being inserted into, cut and paste one down, then move the other into place? Doing it on Helix as suggested above works, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not seeing a "reorder" option in the Helix 'Save' screen although it would be handy and maybe I am missing something. You may be recalling the "Insert" button which is only for inserting a blank into the preset name. Let us know if you have a method for this on the Helix when you get back to yours. The easiest method I know of is using the Editor and simply highlighting all the presets you need moved at one time and copying and pasting them into the new location, for example, one slot further down. Not quite as elegant perhaps as a "reorder" or "insert" option but it really is quite easy and only takes a moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 On Helix itself, it's not on the Save screen, it's in the Presets screen you see when you press down on the​ Presets knob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyXT Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Yes. OOps, sorry... yes, you push in the Presets knob, and you're presented with the Reorder option. Plus rename setlist, Snapshot, select Snapshot, and the display of the preset's Midi references. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkornell Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 In the Helix Editor, just (left) clicking the preset and dragging to another slot will reorder. You can't insert a new blank preset, but you can drag one from the end of your setlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing it on Helix as suggested above works, too. Yeah, you can do this. I think you can also click-hold and drag the block of presets as well to move them.
