DannyMcO Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Oddball question: Is there a way to use an expression pedal connected to helix as a way to rapidly switch between a series of entirely different presets or snapshots? Say, using the 0-10% or a single expression pedal for a Van Halen inspired preset, the 11-20% for a Djent-inspired preset, the 21-30% for a jazz fusion preset, the 31-40% for a polysynth, etc.? I'm reasonably familiar with presets, and snapshots, but what I'm asking about isn't using an expression pedal as a switch to turn on and off individual effects within a preset, but having the exp pedal serve like an additional set of toeswitches in preset mode that are quickly rotatable, whether using one of the EXP inputs or MIDI. A basic use case might be holding down a single note or chord and rocking the exp back and forth to create a swirling series of entirely different, independent guitar tones. Is it possible? If so, how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I don't believe this is possible internally... but you might be able to do a midi loop back and set the EXP pedal to send the required midi message(s). There is an audio gap when changing presets so I don't believe that will yield any usable results, but snapshots may work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
