Snaps 1-4 stacked on FS1 and Snaps 5-8 on FS6 .... help

[PaulTBaker]

I have the helix floor (and Stomp XL).  I have found it easiest to stay in stomp mode during live performances so my preset(s) are setup up like a real pedal board with some exceptions to a stomp that changes the Vol/Drive parameters of the amp.  The preset has Tremelo, Chorus, and Rotary blocks.  I have snaps 1,2,3,4 set to turn them all off or turn one on individually.  I used the Command Center to create a stackable snapshot for FS1 that cycles between snaps 1-4.  This works great.  It is like have extra foot switches to turn the pedals on or off all while in stomp mode.

 

I have several delay 4 delay blocks set.  Only 3 have an assign FS for on/off.  I wanted to create another stackable Snap FS on FS6 that would cycle through Snaps 5-8.  When I go to Command Center and select snapshot for FS6,  the FS6 scribble strip never shows anything and nothing gets assigned.  I am basically trying to replicate what I did on FS1 with stackable snaps 1-4... but it is not taking.

 

Has anyone else tried to have two FS's be stackable snaps?

 

Thanks in advance!

I think there is a conceptual problem with your intended approach: the bypass state of all modulation and delay blocks are saved in every snapshot. You wouldn't be able to cycle through modulations and delays independently.

If that is no problem you could cycle through ALL snapshots with one footswitch. And may be use a second one to go backwards (or reset to snapshot 1).

yes I see what you are saying about the bypass state..I could not have snap 2 (trem) on and turn snap 7 on (extra delay).  for the snaps 1 - 4 to work, I would have to ALL my other blocks with the snapshot bypass unchecked so they don't get changed with snaps 1-4.

 

Well maybe they need snapshot groups where the snapshot bypass for the block could by checked or unchecked based on the snapshot or snapshot group.

 

mmmm.....

just for the curious....  I ended up setting my snapshots 1 through 5 to be like below and used the command center to stack the snapshots all on FS1.  I also set the color to blue except for when they are all off and that is set to white... this was tricky, see below.

1. all (script, trem, chorus, rotary, twin harmony) off

2. script on /rest off

3. trem on / rest off

4. chorus on / rest off

5. rotary on / rest off  

 

I have snapshot 7 set to turn on the twin harmony block.  I have snapshot 8 set to turn on  the chorus, and two delays (this is my ambience setting).  I used the command center to stack snaps 1, 7 and 8 on FS2.

 

I have the rest of my FS's assigned to two dist. pedals, drive/vol amp parameters, channel output gain, looper, slap delay, 360 simple delay, double delay.

 

So without having to switch from stomp to preset I can turn on/off 14 pedals. that does not include the multiple on/off/parameter changes in the ambient setting.

 

I have the snaps 7 and 8 FS1 set to snap 1(all off).  This keeps me from cycling through multiple clicks if I want to turn off the mod pedal selected in FS1.

That works great for me.
