lunartidesmusic Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Noob Question here. - I've seen a few pictures of the Helix floating around from a band I like, and it seems they have assigned different things to all the blocks, including the preset/bank up & down switches on the very LEFT of the helix. I have gone into the settings and changed the settings to 10 switches, but I don't see any mode for 8 stomp, or 10 stomp. Is anyone out there able to clarify this for me? It has to be possible since I've seen a band using it this particular way. I just would find it useful to be able to have 10 custom switches set to whatever I want them to be, rather than using snapshots currently. Thanks for your help.

phil_m Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Global Settings>Footswitches>Stomp Mode Switches is where you set that. You had it correct. You just set that to 10 Stomps. That setting only applies to Stomp Mode, not to any of the Preset Mode views that show both Snapshots and Stomps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunartidesmusic Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Thanks for your reply. I never saw a "Stomp Mode Switches" option only, it was like 8 Presets, Snap/Stomp, Stomp/Snap, Preset Stomp, etc etc 8 Snapshots. - So is there something I'm missing? I'm on the most up to date version of the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunartidesmusic Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 I have the Helix Floor. Scribble strips and all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunartidesmusic Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 I was hoping maybe someone could just provide a screen shot of the global settings when put into 10 stomp mode. Then I could figure it out from there, I just didn't see any of those options in my global settings, so I was a little perplexed. I've been running snap shots so long, I wanted to change things up a bit just to try some other options and treat it more like a "pedal board" and couldn't get all 10 spots opened up for assignable switches.

lunartidesmusic Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 I will give this a try when I can get back to my Helix when I get off work. I remember seeing the 10 switches options, but when I saved it, nothing really changed on the scribble strip, and the bank switches that go up and down stayed there.

phil_m Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I'm not in front of my Helix at the moment, but I found this image using Google Image Search. You can see the 10 Stomps setting here, above Knob 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital_Igloo Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 You're currently in Preset footswitch mode. Press MODE, and you'll see all 10 stomp switches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunartidesmusic Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Okay, so since I have no "stomps" assigned that's why every scrip turns blank when I hit mode. Gosh I feel silly now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh I feel silly now. That is correct, you will see 10 blank scribble strips if nothing is assigned to the foot switches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
