Transmitting simultaneous and subsequent commands

[husker636]

Hi there

Long time lurker and first time poster...

 

Just got my Helix rack and I'm trying to work out to transmit multiple commands simultaneously with a single foot switch press and then transmit a different set of commands with a subsequent "pressings".

 

My performance flow is that I have four basic presets and four snapshots within each preset (clean, drive, rhythm, lead) and then my main base is stomp mode with 8 foot switches to control various effects.

 

Using the rotary as an example of what I would like to do...

 

FS press 1: engage rotary at slow speed setting, simultaneously bypassing any amp cab blocks

 

FS press 2: change rotary speed from slow to fast speed, add in drive block

 

FS press 3: bypass rotary and drive block, simultaneously re-enabling amp cab blocks

 

I've done extensive searches and read the manual but I can't work out how to do this (or if it is possible).

 

I apologise if this has been covered - if so, please direct me to the relevant thread or Youtube video. If not, please would someone help me?

With snapshots, doing all that with a single footswitch stomp would be easy. Really, I think that's the only way to do it. You might want to think about changing Preset Mode to be 8 Snapshots so you can access those additional snaps.

Thanks very much for your help.

 

I suppose I worry that I will run out of snapshots. 

 

I could get another expression pedal and use that to control the rate.

 

Is there any way I could do this with Midi?
