Split>A/B Toggle Behavior

Recommended Posts

I am trying to use a Split>A/B block to toggle between two different effects. For purposes of example, path 1A contains a tremolo effect and path 1B contains a delay (see uploaded image). Path 1B splits from path 1A using a Split>A/B block and then merges back with Path 1A right after the delay block. I am hoping to toggle between either the tremolo or the delay. I do not at any time want to hear both; I want to hear only one or the other. 

 

According to the online Helix Stadium manual (bold and underline emphases are mine):

 

Split > A/B allows for tactile control over which path your signal is routed to—Path A (upper) or Path B (lower).

Tip: Assign this parameter [Route To] to a Stomp switch to create an A/B toggle switch, where each press switches between the two paths.

 

I have assigned the Split>A/B block to a footswitch but I cannot get this to work. No matter how I configure the Route To parameter, I hear both effects. The signal is being routed through paths 1A and 1B in parallel as opposed to toggling between 1A and 1B. 

 

I am new to Helix Stadium and there must be something I am not understanding. Any insights or suggestions appreciated!

Why not just bypass one, un-bypass the other?  I don't see any need for a loop to toggle between 2 different effects.  The loop functionality is really not needed at all in most situations, unless you want to process the loop differently and join with the main signal path.  Toggling between a bunch of effects can be done with them serially in line.

theElevators: Thank you. I agree that for something a s simple as the example I provided, assigning the two blocks to a footswitch with one bypassed and the other unbypassed is the simplest solution. However, I was interested in exploring toggling between paths A and B for more complex chains of blocks.  

 

bbehrens: Thank you. The method you described worked perfectly. What I was missing was setting the Min to A 100 and the Max to B 100 for Route To in the Bypass/Control so that the toggle alternates between the A 100 state and the B 100 state.
