The General Screen
The General screen (as shown above) oers options for your device's Preset and IR
Libraries.
Preset Numbering Format - The presets within the Librarian's Presets Panel can
be numbered as bank numbers & letters (as 01A-32D), or by 000-127 within each
Setlist, depending on which is more convenient for you.
Stereo IR Import - When a stereo IR .wav le is imported by a Helix or HX device,
it must be converted to mono. This preference lets you choose whether to take the
left or right channel of the source IR le, or to sum both channels to mono. The
default is to import the left channel.
Import Bundle & Export Bundle - (Helix devices only) A Bundle is a le containing
the complete contents of the Helix device's Preset Library (or, the full Preset Library
from Helix Native plug-in, if exported from Helix Native). These buttons allow you to
Import a Helix Bundle le from your hard drive, or create and save all your device's
setlists and presets in their currently-saved state as a Bundle le to your hard drive.
Please see “Importing and Exporting Bundles” on page 11 for details.
EXP 2/Ext Amp Option - (Helix LT devices only) Helix LT devices incorporate a
“shared” EXP PEDAL 2/EXT AMP jack. This option allows you to choose the
jack's functionality (same as the Helix LT hardware's Global Settings > Preferences
option).
EXP 1/Amp 1 and EXP 2/Amp 2 Options - (HX Eects devices only) For the HX
Eects device's two PEDAL/EXT AMP jacks, these options allows you to choose
their functionality (same as the HX Eects hardware's Global Settings > Prefer-
ences options).
Show/Hide Block Name Labels - If you prefer to have the Signal Flow window not
show labels beneath each block, you can choose Hide Names here (see page 18)
