timleesan Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hello All - Writing to get some expertise on an issue I'm having with the 6 button looper on the Helix (LT if it matters)... The issue is simple, and I hope there's a simple answer but I can't for the life of me figure out what happened. When engaging the six button looper that has been assigned to one of the stomp switches the looper interface used to come onto the screen and show me which foot switches were assigned to effects/rec/stop ect. But this is no longer the case... NOW when I hit the looper the foot switches will light up - like they should, showing the looper is armed, and it does work - but the screen remains on the signal chain view, and I get confused... What did I do? How do I get the looper interface to come back onto the screen!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Are you sure, you are not using the 1 switch looper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 So the looper display used to work properly and now doesn't? What changed? Firmware update, factory reset, new power adapter or power bar, ...? If nothing changed I would create a full system backup, as well as individual setlists, and try a factory reset followed by, if necessary, a firmware reinstallation.

timleesan Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Well the looper display used to show up when I pushed the looper button. I have not installed any new firmware. I am not using any new power adapters or anything like that, just the factory cord into an outlet. I have changed a few global settings in regards to the stomp mode, so that the top switches are snapshots and the bottom are stomps... hey wait a second... I always assign my looper to the top right switch, would it make sense that *if* the top row of switches were assigned in global settings to be a "snapshots", it would still engage the looper but remain on the home screen?

silverhead Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 No, I don't think that makes sense. In your new setup (snapshots on top row) you will need to press the MODE footswitch to change the display so that the Looper FS is visible in the top right position. Pressing that FS will then engage the Looper. If it's the 1-switch looper (see Peter's comment above) the display will not change but the looper becomes active and the FS LED changes to reflect its status. If it's the 6-switch Looper the display should change to the familiar one that you are expecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timleesan Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 It's definitely not the one switch, on account of six switches lighting up when I engage it. The one switch just starts recording without "arming" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try a reset of the global parameters(FS5+6 on boot), to see if the problem still exists (don't forget to backup) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
