Hatman777 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hello Datacommando, I did set it to 10 Stomp, but did not see turn off the Preset/Bank option ? i do have preset mode set up to 8 snap shots but it puts snap shot 5 on the top row and was wondering instead of having the bank down foot switch if i could assign snapshot 5 there instead again thank you for the help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose from “8 Presets,” “Preset/Stomp” (one bank of presets on the top row, switches from stomp mode on the bottom row), “Stomp/Preset” (switches from stomp mode on the top row, one bank of presets on the bottom row), “Preset/Snap” (one bank of presets on the top row, Snapshots 1-4 on the bottom row), “Snap/Preset” (Snapshots 1-4 on the top row, one bank of presets on the bottom row), “Snap/Stomp” (Snapshots 1-4 on the top row, switches from stomp mode on the bottom row), “Stomp/Snap” (switches from stomp mode on the top row, Snapshots 1-4 on the bottom row), and ”8 Snapshots” (Snapshots 1-8). Stomp Mode Switches When set to “10 switches,” FS1 (BANK ) and FS7 (BANK ) are re-purposed as additional Stomp switches. This “10 switches” option only affects the Stomp footswitch mode—when you have the device in Preset, Snapshot, or Looper footswitch modes, BANK and BANK are retained. Although having quoting chapter and verse from the Helix Manual - This might be the droid you seek: Hope this helps/makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatman777 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 well in Theory yes that would work but I tried and it does not change anything In his tutorial there is a Done button in the command center Switch LED and Customize which is not present in mine ? when I open Command Center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatman777 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 It does work for other foot switches just not the Bank/preset foot switches ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you download the example files that Steve supplied on CustomTone, because I did, and they worked just fine for me? As shown in the video, you can set a foot switch to go to any Preset location in any Bank on your unit. I will load up a blank Preset and check. Edit Update: I just tested it using the example presets that Steve S supplied on CustomTone and it works exactly as shown. It appears that the "DONE" button is obsolete, the change made in the Command centre are instantly updated on the Helix, just remember to save the File when done. As mentioned in the video - it can be confusing - Therefore watch it again - carefully (he is in 10 preset mode), Edited April 17, 2021 by datacommando Added info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatman777 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 OK thank you I will, but it requires His patch to work ? Seeing as i wanted to incorporate this feature in one of my existing patches that require 5 snapshots And again Data thank you for your all your help, Much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can assign anything to anything providing you put your GLOBAL SETTINGS > FOOTSWITCHES > STOMP MODE > 10 FOOTSWITCHES The BIG CLUE is 10 FOOTSWITCHES as that is the only option that removes the BANK/PRESET UP/DOWN option and frees up those 2 extra switches. Hope this makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatman777 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 YEs it is set to 10 Foot switches and only works on other 8 slots not the BANK/PRESET UP/DOWN, which is odd thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatman777 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 tried a new preset as well and again only 8 Work and I can see it works as its displayed in real time what i do in HX edit i can see it on my floorboard Very Odd ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was just quickly thrown together with no particular setting - simply switching things on and off that I could have done using Stomp mode alone, but it shows it can be done. 5Snap 5Preset.hlx Stick in in yer HX Edit and modify to whatever. Hope this helps/makes sense. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatman777 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Thank you very Much for your time and effort to resolve this issue, But same thing no Override to BANK/PRESET UP/DOWN showing only 4 snaps and 4 Stomps ?? Could it be possible because i didn't do a factory reset and loaded my Back up thats causing this ? Only thing i could see possible as all my settings are correct in global setting?

Anything else I should know? Yes. We STRONGLY recommend performing a factory reset AFTER UPDATING to 3.10 and THEN RESTORING YOUR BACKUP. (Backing up is part of the update process). Here's how to perform a factory reset. IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP FIRST, AS A FACTORY RESET WILL ERASE ALL YOUR WORK! Helix Floor/LT: While holding footswitches 9 & 10 (bottom row, 2 middle switches), turn on Helix Floor/LT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatman777 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 So I turn off Power then Restart while holding the 2 Middle Button Foot Switches then Restore using my latest backup from HX edit ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. EDIT: Recommended reading Helix Owner's Manual Page 56 "Command Centre" Further EDIT: It just struck me - Go to your Global Settings > Footswitches and ensure that the settings are: Stomp Select > Press Preset Mode Switches > 8 presets Stomp Mode Switches > 10 Switches Then check the Example preset, which I uploaded earlier, once more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatman777 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hello Data Commando, Yes Issue resolved , problem was Footswitch 6 I needed to change it manually to stomp mode with 3.10 Update that particular footswitch is displayed differently than the Prior 3.01 Again thank you so much for helping out very much appreciated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datacammando, Now I have something else to add to my tool bag. Thanks. I did see the video when it came out but failed to realize the full impact of that one feature.
