RoryHoll Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Hi all, On the old Boss GT6B, there used to be an Auto Slap effect for Bass. Is there anything similar on the Helix LT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theElevators Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 I tried doing a quick search, but couldn't find what exactly that is. Does it create a slap pattern from one note? If that's what you are referring to, then there is a great thing called "Harmony Delay". Harmony Delay takes a single note that you play, and adds 2 additional notes, each after a specified time interval. You have the typical controls like feedback, mix, panning. But if you specify the correct key, interval, and scale in this block, you can get it to play exactly two notes after you play your single note. If you put several Harmony Delays one after another, you can potentially come up with a whole passage that will be auto-generated from a single note that you play. It would be a lot of work and trial and error to make sure these two delays will generate the exact passage that you need. But there will not be any random slap pattern generated, as the old Boss board did. If I had a few hours, I could definitely come up with a preset that would for example generate the "Higher Ground" bass slap pattern from a single note... If you're interested, I'm showing how I use the Harmony Delay on guitar for one of the songs I had to play, it's a different application, but you will get the point.
