parameters in Helix.
Footswitch
1-5, 7-11
Stepping on a Stomp mode footswitch can toggle between a pa-
rameter's min and max values.
If a footswitch is assigned to one parameter only (no blocks, Com-
mand Center messages, or other parameters), the parameter
name appears in the scribble strip:
Feedback
Selecting Footswitch 1-5 or 7-11 will display Knob 3 (Type). Turn
knob 3 to select "Momentary" or "Latching." Momentary means
the value will change for as long as you hold the switch. Latching
toggles between Min and Max values every time you press the
switch.
Footswitches can be customized from the "Command Center"
screen.
MIDI CC Selecting "MIDI CC" will display Knob 3 (MIDI CC#). Turn Knob 3
to select the desired MIDI CC number.
Snapshots
Although all controller-assigned parameters are updated per snap-
shot, an additional "Snapshots" controller is available when other
controllers are already used.
NOTE: Footswitch 1 and 7 can be assigned at any time, but they only appear
if the Stomp Mode Switches option is set to "10 switches" (see "Global Set-
tings > Footswitches"). Otherwise, FS1 and FS7 appear as BANK and
BANK .
NOTE: Footswitch type (momentary or latching) is determined per foot-
switch, not per assignment.
NOTE: Some CC#s cannot be selected, as they are reserved for the Helix
global functions. See "MIDI" for more information.
6. If desired, turn Knob 4 (Min Value) and Knob 5 (Max Value) to
set the range you wish to control.
TIP: To reverse controller behavior, swap the min and max values.
