Preset Break Out

[jaburke4]

Looking for help from the Helix collective.

Being a HX Stomp owner I feel a little left out. Yes, I am starting on the low side of the technology by using a Stomp and not currently any of the higher models such as the LT etc. But this is my first dive into using digital amps and effects. So far I am loving it.

 

I use a Roland Gr-55 Synthesizer, though dated-Still has lots to offer. One option I like with the presets on the GR-55, is that I can break them out into text. Basically, you get text that shows the mod or effect and breaks out the settings.  

 

Example You'd see "Distortion - ON, Tone - 5, Boost 7, Level - 3"

 

Question is, Is there a similar way to display the makings of a Helix Preset?

 

This way, one could dissect some of the presets from the upper level modelers and try to make them work on the Stomp!

 

Thanks in advance for any input.

You can open .hlx files with a text editor of your choice. It's a text file following the JSON syntax.

 

And there is a great online tool called HLX View

That's a really good viewer. Here's another:
