lawrence_Arps Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Setting up a custom layout in command centre. Everything works as expected except preset changes do not have led functions. The preset buttons work and change the presets, but do not light up. Any thoughts anybody?

rd2rk Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 The CUSTOMIZE button (6) leads to the NAMING dialog which includes the SWITCH LED parameter (5) which allows you to set the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrence_Arps Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 SOLVED! In each preset I removed the command setting (preset change) from the relevant switch and replaced it with a bypass for the amp - which is always on so the switch lights up when I select the patch. genius! Just have to avoid hitting the switch twice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must be talking about different things because before I posted that I looked to be sure. On the board it's knob 6 and then knob 5. In HX Edit>Command Center>Bank/Program it's the 5th parameter between PROGRAM and the NAME field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, The answer that @rd2rk provided is correct, BUT that customisation option is only available on Helix Floor, Rack and LT units. When seeking assistance from other users, it’s advisable to specify which device you’re using - it’s a big help, and avoids confusion. Hope this helps/makes sense.

In HX Stomp CommandCenter after selecting a FS and assigning the Bank/Program, press Page Right, press knob 3 (Customize), press Page Right, knob 3 is Switch LED. IDK about HXFX, don't have one. If that's your device, RTM :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When checking (which I did prior to my earlier post) the Owner’s Manuals for all the Helix range, under the section about “Command Center” only the manuals for the larger units have an additional section named “Customizing a Command Footswitch Label & Color”. This extra information is not included in the manuals for the smaller models, including the HXFX. Color my LED baffled. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no customisable functions - strangely i would have expected at least the standard red led... PRESET sends internal Program Changes and automatically assigns an LED color - RED in the case of my HXS, probably the same on the other Helixes. Bank/Program sends MIDI messages to external devices. When the Switch LED Parameter is set to AUTO it assigns a DIM Gray color to the LED. This color does not change to the LIT state when you press the FS, but the Switch LED Parameter can be set to any of the 10 available colors. It can also be set to OFF. In Global Settings>Displays there's a parameter called "LED Ring Brightness". The default is DIM/BRIGHT. If set to OFF/BRIGHT the LED Rings of the regular BYPASS switches will be OFF when in the BYPASS state and BRIGHT in the activated state. Bank/Program switches default to OFF. They will not light up when pressed. Check Global Settings>Displays to see if that is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the HXS, Page 2 is the second set of three knobs on the Floor/LT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
