mdyas Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I'd like to assign modes to footswitches, especially in Stomp B. One FS for Preset mode, one for Snapshot mode, etc. Is this possible now? I tried to do it and could not find a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 The manual describes the Global MIDI CCs, presumably available for Command Center assignment. It includes this description: 37 0-6 Footswitch Mode (0=Stomp A, 1=Stomp B, 2=Preset, 3=Snapshot, 4=Combo, 5=Unassigned, 6=Transport) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdyas Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Thanks. I programmed those into the Stomp B footswitches, and it worked only for the Preset that I had opened and then saved with those assignments. When I switch to a different Preset those footswitch assignments do not carry over. I want it to work on every Preset without having to program it into each one. The 2nd issue is this: does the Helix automatically route these midi messages to itself? It was not working until I jumpered a midi cable between the Helix in/out midi ports.

silverhead Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Unfortunately it seems this works on a preset, not global basis. Submit a feature request. Yes, you need to use a cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdyas Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Right. I think the feature request would broaden out. The ability to have a user-defined layout on a persistent mode would be very useful. I know of at least one competitor that allows this custom footswitch layout capability. I have a Morningstar MC8 that could step into the role, but that would take up valuable space on my board. How does one submit a feature request? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdyas Posted Friday at 06:12 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 06:12 PM I did submit a feature request via product feedback. I also went ahead and programmed my MC8 Pro for the time being. It has 8 buttons, so I programmed in Stomp A, Stomp B, Combo, Presets, Snapshots, 2 specific presets, and tuner. That is on bank 1 of the MC8, bank 2 could just be 8 specific presets, for example. This has some overlap with FC6 on the Helix Stadium. One thing that is nice with the separate midi switcher is you can stay in Stomp A or Combo mode and switch to specific presets without exiting the mode on the Helix footswitches. One button switching between any modes is very convenient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
