Help! How Do I Do This Basic DL4 function on my HX Stomp XL? (Video demo)

[Jalbatross]

Ok so the video explains but basically Im trying to set up my exp pedal with my HX Stomp for delay time/repeat fuctions while always being able to also use tap tempo. Setting note values doesn't achieve the effect Im looking for (pitch/time stretch warble) with my my exp pedal sweep. If I set the time with ms/sec it works but then I can't use tap?  Please help

 

Here's what Im trying to do:

Unfortunately you can't have both. Either you set the delay's Time parameter to a duration in seconds (then the expression pedal works) or you set it to a note value (then you can use the tap function).

For it to be possible the Time parameter would need to be split into two parameters: time and note value.

Hi,

 

Check your Global Settings > Preferences > Page 1 > Knob3 > Tempo Pitch > “Authentic” should give you the pitch warble you want from the Expression Pedal.

 

Hope this helps makes sense.

I have it set to "Authentic" and it sounds fine when set to ms/sec but then I can't use tap. When I try something similar by setting heel to 1/4 note and toe to 1/2 note it just sounds like a quick little glitchy sound and no organic time knob effect.

I think you might be right but it seems crazy that the helix can't do something so simple that the DL4 always does.  It might be a deal breaker on this unit for me since I need agility with my delays (for experimental dubbing, etc).

Welp... I'm realizing that with certain patches I can actual achieve a nice time sweep by setting heel to 1/4 note and toe to whole note for instance. Other patches just kind of glitch out unfortunately.  The vintage digital does it fine...
