matsraknerud Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Hi. Without any tempo syncing from external device, is there a way to get effects to work in tempo? I often program one song per preset. And snapshots per song section. This way I can easily get delay times dialed to the tempo for each song. If I want to. The problem appears if I want a envelope effect or tremolo to work with the tempo of the song. I’ve heard that with the H9 you can program the effect to let’s say 130bpm, and with just one hit on the footswitch on the downbeat you are now locked in. For as long as the whole band stays on 130bpm. If you start to drift a little you could just hit the footswitch again. I haven’t found a way to do this on Helix. Does anyone know if it’s possible? I know I can just tap multiple times. But I don’t love the idea of tapping tempo while playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, how is hitting that switch again syncing with a new tempo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s on a preset that’s saved with a certain bpm value, then it’s only a case of moving the downbeat to a different point. And that is possible with one hit.

SaschaFranck Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 So it's kinda like restarting the waveform of whatever modulation it might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaschaFranck Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Ok, gotcha. Yes, that might be useful in some situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theElevators Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 you can try triplet tempo instead as well. But variable speed tremolo works very well for this exact issue, as I explain in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
