aaronlyon Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I would like to use a footswitch in momentary mode (as opposed to latching) to change the feedback parameter of a delay. Possible? The idea is to emulate the "havoc" or "runaway" mode on some analog delay pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yes, it's possible. Which product are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronlyon Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Helix floor. Firmware 2.50. Interested in your idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Helix floor. Firmware 2.50. Interested in your idea. You just assign the feedback parameter on the delay to a footswitch controller. It's described on pg 42 of the manual. Just hold down the knob under the feedback parameter, and that will take you the Controller Assign screen. Hit Knob 6 for "Learn Controller" and hit the footswitch you want to assign it to. Then set the max and min values. You probably want to set the min to be the same value as you have set for the saved value in the preset. Set the max to something close to 100... Sometimes having the feedback all the way up is too uncontrollable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronlyon Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Thanks, but I've done that process. I can clearly see that the footswitch is assigned to the feedback parameter, with min:0 and max: 100%. But pressing the FS does not change the value. I will try again with a blank preset, so other assignments don't conflict... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronlyon Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 OK, that worked fine for a new preset. I'll go figure out what was wrong with my more complex preset. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronlyon Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Now I wonder if I can use an external footswitch for the same effect. I tried plugging a simple momentary switch into EXP3, but that doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleezye1 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 No go on the foot switches but you could use an expression pedal and set the min to your default setting. Then you can sweep all the way up from there and back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
