Is there a way to manually control the automated filters?

[lisanovak]

I'm new to using the Helix and am attempting to mimic my physical pedal setup within it. While I understand replicating complex pedals like the Digitech Dirty Robot may be unrealistic, I thought replicating the Moog MF Drive would be more feasible, focusing on its lopass filter aspect controlled via an expression pedal. However, I've struggled to find a straightforward lopass filter in the Helix that allows expression pedal control over the cutoff frequency. The "filters" section seems to only offer automated options, and a wah pedal, despite being somewhat similar, doesn't produce the same depth or sound as a lopass filter. Is there a way to manually control the automated filters, or another method to achieve the classic filter effect found in synthesizers?

You can assign any parameter of any block to the expression pedal.

Hi,

 

As a noob to the Helix world, and wanting to dig beneath the surface of the usual stuff, you might find that purchasing a copy of this would be a good investment. Full of good stuff.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.
