Retro-Rick Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I know it's a stupid sounding title, however, on one of the earlier firmware levels I was able to direct connect Midi in and out, and use button 12 to toggle snap shot 1/2. A lot of my presets have only 2 snapshots, and I don't use tap tempo at all, so it saved me from having to press buttons 1/7 and go into snapshot view, I'm usually in 8 presets view. With the current level of firmware, shorting the midi in & out causes a kind of feedback loop that freezes and locks up the Helix. Has anyone else messed around with this? I wish the helix had more footswitch programming options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Make sure that MIDI THRU is OFF. Might not solve the problem, but worth a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro-Rick Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 I figured out what was going wrong, I got it to work now. Button 12 is now programmable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro-Rick Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 The problem was that, when you re-save, you have to make sure you only do that on snapshot 1. Because the footswitch is set up that initial is snap 1, toggle is snap 2. Some times I would save it on snapshot 2 which creates a conflict and crashes the helix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
