The Command Center
Window
To display the Command Center window, select it from the application's Window menu.
This window oers the options found within the Helix or HX Eects devices' Menu -
Command Center screen, allowing you to create MIDI output assignments (and CV
output assignments for Helix devices) to remotely control other gear from your device.
Please refer to your Helix or HX Eects Owner's Manual for details on the types of com-
mands supported and their options. Many of the Command Center window functions
are also accessible using keyboard shortcuts - see page 36.
HX Stomp Owners: HX Stomp devices do not include the Command Center fea-
ture. HX Edit functionality described in this chapter is the same for all Helix and
HX Eects devices, except where noted. Please refer to the MIDI chapter within your
HX Stomp Owner's Manual for details on its MIDI functionality.

The Command Center window (Helix Floor device)
NOTE: The application's Command Center window will show Control selector
items specic to your device. For example, as shown above, the Helix Floor device
oers more hardware options for controller assignment (Variax Knobs, 3 EXP
Pedals, and a Pedal Toe switch), than are available with an HX Eects.
Attention Helix Native Plug-in Users: Helix Native does not include the Com-
mand Center or support for creating or customizing these types of commands.
However, existing Command Center assignments are retained even after load-
ing, editing or exporting presets with Helix Native. Also see “Preset Compatibility with
Helix Native Plug-in” on page 4.
Creating a Command Center Assignment
Click directly on any Control Selector item (Instant , Footswitch, EXP Pedal or
Variax Knob) for which you want to map an assignment. Then, in the inspector pane
at the right portion of the window, click on the Command menu to choose the type
of message you wish to transmit from this control. Once a command type is selected,
congure its options using the parameter sliders that appear. Once you save, these
Command Center settings are stored individually with the current preset.
You'll see a turquoise triangle indicator above the control items that include an assign-
ment. To remove an existing assignment, select the control item again within the Com-
mand Center window and choose None from the Controller menu, or right-click and
choose one of the Clear Command options from the context menu.
Assignment Indicators
Copying, Pasting and Clearing Commands
Just as on your Helix or HX Eects device, there are options available to easily Copy,
Paste and Clear Command Center assignments. Using these commands from the ap-
plication's Edit menu, or from the individual controls' right-click context menu, you can
copy and paste an assignment from one controller to another, copy & paste all com-
mand assignments within the current preset to another preset, clear the current com-
mand assignment, or clear all of the preset's current command assignments.
The Command Center context menu's Cut, Copy Paste & Clear commands
It is also possible to paste within the Command Center window for any other preset,
even if a dierent Helix device is connected to the HX Edit application while your last-
copied command data still exists on the clipboard. At this time, it is not possible to
utilize the Copy All Commands and Paste All Commands options between dierent
devices.*
