Helix LT expression pedal, change sweep range?

Having trouble having smooth violin-in with expression pedal (in this case volume). Been looking for solutions to limit the sweep range (the range the expression pedal actually influences the sound). I've found a way to limit the range only in a way that does not compress the effect (volume) into the new sweep range.

To clarify: I'd like the volume to go from 0% to 100% (and cap there!!) in shorter range then the whole pedal movement range allows. For example pedal should go from 0to10%, nothing happens (dead zone or flap or what ever it's called) , from 10-90% the volume goes from 0-100% and remaining 10% near toe switch, again, nothing happens <-- This would be desirable for me. How do I program this in?
When I limit the pedal function range it always leaves the sound still outside the new set low and high points, so I do not know how to compress the whole sound withing new parameters. In volumes case this means that volume doesn't go fully down or fully up.

I've searched the forums (and tried reddit few times also regarding this) and I haven't found solutions. I've found others with similar issues that I have, having squeaky pedals that don't operate as smoothly as I'm accustomed to with other gear. A solution to this squeaky not so smooth feel at the low point of pedal position (that don't require sending my Helix to trips that might take how ever long) is also welcomed BUT what I'm really after is just getting rid of the pedal extreme positions when using it and having the full effect with shorter sweep.

Using Helix LT, HX edit (with Win10/64)

Thanks for replies.

I don't think this is possible. On a sidenote: I think when using a MIDI CC, you would have more options. Which is quite the irony. With the internal pedal, the entire pedal range is always used.

Btw, I wholeheartedly support the wish for more advanced pedal curves. What we have right now often isn't sufficient.

Dang. Hmm, I wonder if I could use my Shortboard MKII pedal as external pedal... Something worth digging, and that's what it'll take, since pretty rare combo with gear, I'm sure.


No. I’ll save you the time. It won’t work.
