theElevators Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Hey all. I have several presets where I set up my wah pedal to engage when In the toe position (above 5%), and disengage when below 5%. It works fine most of the time, but every once in a while I noticed strange bugs. I was doing a sound check yesterday, and somehow the wah pedal got turned on in one snapshot, but off in the other ones, when below 5%. I just re-entered the the preset, and the issue went away. In my preset, the bypass assign for the wah block is only created for the exp pedal value. I have another block that I control with the exp pedal: envelope filter. One time during a rehearsal, the effect got flipped. It was on when below 5%, and off when above 5%. Of course I could never replicate it. From the developer point of view, I feel like Line 6 did not fully fix the bug with momentary turning blocks on/off, but rather made it less likely to occur. I feel the exp pedal simply flips the block's on/off state, rather than setting it to a specific value: It should be: toe -- on heel -- off Instead,Line 6 implemented this: toe - Invert block's on status heel - invert block's on status. Anybody else experience this? This used to be very bad about a year ago, made the auto-wah engagement unusable for me. Now it's gotten a lot better, but still trips up. Thanks!

phil_m Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 If you only want the block’s bypass status to be controlled by the expression pedal and not by snapshots, just turn the Snapshot Bypass parameter off. That way you don’t risk accidentally having a snapshot control it’s bypass state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think having it "on" could have been interfering with something and causing the value to flip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the Snapshot Edits parameter set to Recall rather than Discard, it would be pretty easy to temporarily save a snapshot with the bypass state reversed. The EXP Position parameter under Global Settings>EXP Pedals also affects the interaction of the pedal position with the blocks. You’d want to have it set to per preset or global if it’s controlling a block with an on/off state you want to stay consistent within a preset.

I only use exp 2, and never switch to exp 1 for any presets/snapshots. Here're the settings: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answered my own question: in HX Edit -- right click on the wah block; disable "Snapshot Bypass" accomplishes that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
