dandesy Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 This is probably really simple, but in a preset (all my presets) I have a volume block assigned to the pedal somewhere after the amp. In stadium, when I change to a snapshot for the first time, even though the volume pedal is all the way up, there is no sound. Until I move the pedal anyways, then it tracks it. I have a feeling I went through this on my OG helix, 8 years ago, but can’t find a setting for it. anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't swear to this but I believe this has happened to me if I turned the volume pedal down then saved the preset. On my old Helix it would save the position of the volume when you saved the preset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandesy Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 These are all presets that wiorked on Helix, imported into Helix Stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Check the Global Settings. There’s one that controls how pedal position is managed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandesy Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 Thanks. I did set the expression settings to global. No dice… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decreebass Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Seems to be a snapshot bug. Snaps don't honor (all) edits made in Focus View, either. I just made a topic on that, but I thought I'd come in and validate your concerns. Maybe Line 6 will see this and dig in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Make sure you are aware of the Snapshot Discard Edits On/Off settings, and its potential role in what you may be considering a bug. It’s possible that the edits you think are not being honoured are in fact following your instruction to discard them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aparedes Posted Tuesday at 07:28 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:28 PM Not sure if something changed on the backend, but you could use the "press/turn" method in the inspector window to assign this value as a snapshot, then change the different values for each snapshot on the volume position (Encoder 1). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemenake Posted Thursday at 04:44 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:44 PM I just posted on Reddit about this issue. As background, I have about 100 presets on my Helix Floor where I saved them all with the volume rocked all the way back (so that I didn't get blasted if I forgot to turn my guitar volume knob down when switching presets). This way, I select a new preset, then make sure my strings are muted or guitar volume is down, and then I rock the volume pedal. With these presets imported to the Stadium, switching to the preset leaves the volume at what it was, switching to another snapshot leaves it up, and then switching back to the initial snapshot sets the volume to zero. This seems to have happened with the global setting for the pedal set to Global or Preset. I'll have to see if there are some more global settings about this because, now that I think about it, it's the Helix's treatment of the volume level that seems idiosyncratic; if the volume were being treated exactly like all other effect parameters, I'd expect that the snapshot would record any values that are changed after switching to it. It's only because pedal volume is something we usually expect to not change across snapshots... I wonder if it is given special treatment by the Helix.

mattsteeves Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM I am having a similar issue where the snapshots won't honor EXP 1 or EXP 2 selected when saving. For example I want all snapshots to start with EXP 1 but some of them just wont save that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattsteeves Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I've found a pattern to this bug. • Say I want the expression pedal to default to EXP 1 for all snapshots within a preset. This is how I built them in my Helix Floor. • The preset, now in Stadium XL, selects random loading EXP 1 or EXP 2 for each snapshot. • When I go to fix this is when the problem arrises, and the pattern emerges... • I will turn off "discard edits" and set the expression pedal to EXP 1 for a snapshot. I go to each snapshot and select EXP 1. Everything appears to be working at this point. • When I SAVE the preset is where the problem emerges. Depending on the current snapshot that is selected when I save, that snapshot reverts to EXP 2 while the others are correctly defaulting to EXP 1. If I choose a different snapshot that is correctly defaulting to EXP 1 and then save the preset again, THAT snapshot will now default to EXP 2 and the others will remain correct. This behavior is able to be replicated every time for every preset. • The only workaround I have now isn't ideal, which is to find a snapshot within that preset that I know I wont need instant access to my EXP 1 and save the preset with that snapshot selected, so the other snapshots may live their life normally. In other words, one snapshot must sacrifice its correct default settings for the others to be correct. Additionally, and somewhat of a separate issue but is consistent across the board for me... Presets that were built in my Helix Floor and transferred to Stadium will change the bypass controller assignment to be "backwards". For example, most of my presets I like to have the wah activated not by a toe press, but by just rocking the pedal back during use and returning it to the down position to deactivate. In the Helix Floor, this behavior is programmed by having the "Bypass" assignment set to position 99% with behavior set to "toggle". Now, all of the presets I had set up this way and transferred to Stadium will default that switch behavior to "toe down" and to 1%. This setting results in the wah activating when the pedal is all the way heel down, and ONLY heel down. If the pedal is moved anywhere else the block is deactivated. I've had to change each preset to behave correctly, and that is really a pain. That, coupled with the inability to correctly set the default EXP 1 or 2 setting upon preset load is independent of the global setting for expression pedal position set to either "global" or "preset". The issue is also independent of the snapshot discard edits set to on or off. Can anyone else replicate this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
