MIDI CC In Selector
For assignments that oer remote control via external MIDI, this parameter is where
you need to dene the specic MIDI CC value (CC 0-127) to match the MIDI CC value
being transmitted from your external MIDI controller device or MIDI software. Your MIDI
hardware or software must be capable of sending MIDI CC messages via 5-pin MIDI
cable or USB to your Helix or HX device.*
*NOTE: Your Helix or HX device can receive MIDI from either its 5-pin MIDI IN jack
or over USB. Use the device's Global Settings - MIDI Tempo options to congure
its receiving MIDI channel and other MIDI options.
Switch LED Option
(Helix and HX Eects devices only) By default, the color of the LED light surrounding
your assigned footswitch is set to Auto Color, where it intelligently takes on the color
according to the assigned model type. You can optionally use this slider to manually
congure this LED color as desired.
Customizing a Footswitch Label
(Helix and HX Eects devices only) For any selected Bypass or Controller assignment
that is created using your device's Footswitch, you'll see a Customize control dis-
playing the block model's default name. This is the label displayed on the hardware's
scribble strip for this footswitch (or on the LCD screen for a Helix LT device) when the
Helix device is in Stomp Footswitch Mode. If you want to customize this label, double-
click on the existing name, type your new text in the eld and hit your Enter/Return key.
To clear your text and return to the default model label, click the Clear (eraser) button
to the right of the eld.
The Customize label control
NOTE: On Helix and HX Eects Devices, if a footswitch includes one or more ad-
ditional block Bypass, Controller or Command Center assignments, the default
label appears as Multiple (X) with “X” being the number of assignments. You can
customize the label in this scenario, but note that it can also be customized within the
Custom eld of the other assignment panels as well, with the latest customization edit
aecting the label in all places.
Creating a Bypass Assignment
Create a Bypass assignment for any Amp, Cab, IR, Eect, Looper or Split type block to
allow it to be toggled on/o via one of your Helix or HX device's footswitches, control-
lers or via external MIDI.
NOTE: On Helix devices, adding a Volume Pedal, Pan, Wah, or Pitch Wham block
automatically creates a Bypass assignment to the Helix on-board pedal's EXP Toe
footswitch. On HX devices, a Bypass assignment is automatically created for these
block types on EXP 1 / EXP 2. You can change or clear this assignment if desired - see
“Editing an Existing Assignment” on page 23.
Creating a Bypass Assignment Using a Footswitch
1. Click on the block within the Signal Flow for which you want to create the Bypass
assignment.
2. At the right of the Bypass/Controller Assign panel, if not already selected by
default, click the Assignment Menu and choose Bypass as the parameter to
control.
3. Click on the Footswitch/Controller Menu to select the desired footswitch or
controller and your assignment is created.
Selecting a footswitch controller for block Bypass assignment
TIP: Alternatively, right-click on a block within the Signal Flow and choose the desired
Footswitch or Controller to quickly create a Bypass assignment.
Creating a Bypass Assignment Using an External MIDI Controller Source
It is also possible to congure a block to be controlled remotely via an external MIDI
controller switch, or via MIDI software on your DAW computer. All that is required is that
the MIDI controller is capable of sending MIDI CC messages via 5-pin MIDI cable or
USB to your Helix or HX device.*
A MIDI - Bypass assignment can be created independently of a Helix or HX hardware
controller source assignment for the same block. You will only see one Bypass assign-
ment entry displayed within the HX Edit app's Assignments List, regardless if it includes
an active MIDI assignment source, hardware controller assignment source, or both.
