RandallSG Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Does anyone know if there is an option to light the color rings around the up and down bank switches of the Helix LT? Either I am blind no pun intended to find the option to highlight the color rings in the menu or the option does not exist which seems like a major fail as the bank switches are hard to see when playing in dark rooms and stages.

themetallikid Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 There is a spot, I believe its when you are in the save screen, you can choose what color the ring is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallSG Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 As far as I can tell I see no option or way to light the FS1 up and FS7 down footswitch rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuhajla Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I don't believe you can change LED ring color for those. You can for stomps and snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm pretty sure there aren't even LEDs under those footswitches in the LT... The LT doesn't have the "10 Stomps" mode like the full Helix does, so there's no mode in which those switches light up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallSG Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 After messing around with the pedal edit mode the FS1 and FS7 up and down foot switches do have LED's. They light up to highlight a parameter to edit when editing using the expression pedal to change parameters in the pedal edit mode. Unfortunately there is no option in the Helix LT of turning the LED's on to make the up and down switches more visible in dark settings.

firehawkkwah Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Any update to this problem? I guess an option is to buy the barefoot switch covers or something, but it'd be nice to be able to use the LEDs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Posting to a 3 year thread is not really going to elicit a different answer to the one given by “phil_m” in October 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firehawkkwah Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Unless one of the many firmware updates had made this possible. I'll take that as a "nope, no good fix or workaround. Maybe in 3.0! Or put it into idea scale!" :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datacommando Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 5 hours ago, firehawkkwah said: Any update to this problem? Hi again, I have an Helix floor model and the PRESET UP DOWN foot switch LED ring lights don't illuminate either. They do light up when I switch their function in the Global settings to10 switches. It's a feature of the design, just like the the MODE and TAP/TUNER don't light up during general use. They don't light up when simply used for going up/down swapping between presets, banks or snapshots, but I really don't understand why it's a problem. I know that the UP switch is on the top row and the DOWN switch is on the bottom row, unless I use the swap function in the Global settings, then the opposite applies. Easy! Hope this helps/makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firehawkkwah Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Not really "problem" per se. Some of my presets/snaps do not have all the pedals lit up. In fact, with Preset/Snaps, sometimes only 1 or 2 switches are illuminated. When it's dark or I'm looking peripherally it's not always immediately apparent where the other switches are. Having a :curb" or "side of the road" would make it easier. I'd probably have FS1 and FS7 always on, white. That way I'd have a better reference. Again, not really a problem, but also if the LEDs are there, why NOT give someone the ability to have them on or off if they want? It's probably a few lines of code and an option from Global: "Have Bank Up/Down illuminated? Y/N" Could do the same with Mode. I'd have those on all the time for "guardrails" so I could have a better idea of what I'm looking at when it's dark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can assign colors for empty snapshots and then in GLOBAL SETTINGS set the LEDs mode to dimmed/bright so that all of them are lighten. You can try using the same color for empty snapshots and some other colors for those you actually use. That's how I do it at least :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firehawkkwah Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yeah, I suppose. But then I'm in 10 stomp or 10 snap mode, right? Can have it in "4-snap; 4 Preset" mode? Just seems like an easy fix! "Enable Bank up/down LEDs to be on" !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyt77 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Any update on this? As I agree to be able to high light the leds on the up/down would be a nice touch for those dark venues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
