cdtreadwell429 Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Hi Everyone. I’m new to Helix, upgraded from a PodGO. I mainly play in snapshot mode. Recently when I was practicing with my band I switched to stomp mode to play around with footswitches. When I went back to snapshot mode I expected all my settings to automatically recall to a snapshot. That didn’t happen. Even pressing on a snapshot footswitch didn’t override the bypasses from stomp mode. All the bypasses stayed how they were in stomp mode. What do I have to change so that when I go from stomp mode to snapshot mode all the bypasses and parameters automatically recall a snapshot? I’m having trouble finding something about this online or in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmalle Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Set Global Settings -> Preferences -> Snapshot Edits to Discard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdtreadwell429 Posted November 5 Author Share Posted November 5 It doesn’t seem like that should have any effect when switching from stomp mode to snapshot mode, only within snapshot mode. But I’ll give it a try, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can recall the original snapshot setting by pressing a snapshot foot switch with said option (Global Settings -> Preferences -> Snapshot Edits = Discard). You can program foot switches to change snapshots in Stomp Mode using Command Center. That could be your single action reset solution.

That didn’t happen. That's not how it works.... going back to snapshot mode simply gives you the options to choose a snapshot, it doesn't automatically load one.

That is the behavior you will get if you set the stomp(s) in question to ignore snapshots. When you set "snapshot bypass" to OFF, the stomps on/off state maintains separation from snapshots. Page 47 of the V3 manual explains "Snapshot Bypass". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdtreadwell429 Posted November 6 Author Share Posted November 6 I was able to do a little experimenting last night and I think I found what was happening. I had snapshots edit set to recall in global settings. When I went from stomp mode to snapshots mode some of the blocks were still enabled that were not supposed to be in a certain snapshot. Then I changed to another snapshot and it functioned as expected. When I went back to the previous snapshot it recalled those new blocks that were enabled. So in essence the first snapshot saved the changes from stomp mode. I wish it was possible to automatically recall a snapshot when switching from stomp mode to snapshot mode but that does not seem to be the case. Using discard snapshot edits seems to be a decent workaround, though I prefer snapshot recall. Thanks for that insight Schmalle, you were right. And thanks for taking the time to chime in, codamedia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
