Helix Controlling Variax String Pitch

Hi all,

 

Somewhat new to Variax and Helix - I have a preset I'm working on where I have mapped a controller to

setting a virtual capo on the 2nd fret.

 

Is it possible to map a second controller to set a virtual capo on a different fret? I tried it the same way

I created the first mapping it reset the first controller.

 

Thank you

-Andy

Yes - if you set each string pitch to be controlled by snapshot you can change it, as well as the guitar model and other parameters controlled by snapshot if you want.

 

I have at least one song where I change from a detuned pitch to suit the vocalist to an open tuning for a slide solo.

 

One tip - you may need to set all your patches to custom tuning even if the patch uses standard to force the tuning change on patch change.

 

Edit - attached an example - 4 snaps, 2 guitars and 3 tunings (note my variax presets are customized so may not sound any good to you - but will give you the idea)
