To Rename a Snapshot - (Helix and HX Eects devices only) Right-click the de-
sired snapshot from the Snapshots menu and select Rename Snapshot. Type in
your new name, then press Enter/Return on your keyboard.
To Customize a Snapshot's LED Color - (Helix and HX Eects devices only) When
your device is set to Snapshot footswitch mode, each footswitch LED defaults to a
red color. If you prefer to customize the LED color for the current Snapshot, choose
the desired color from the right-click menu. Or choose Auto to restore the default
behavior, or O for no LED.
NOTE: Remember that you'll need to Save before switching to another preset to
retain your edited snapshot settings within the current preset! The snapshot that is
in use when you save your preset is the one that is recalled when the preset is
loaded again.
Editing the Tap Tempo
There are a few options available for conguring the tempo, accessible from the Tempo
Controls at the top of the Signal Flow window. Any of the current preset’s eect models
set to note division values will follow this Tap Tempo value. (Note Sync mode is avail-
able for most delay and modulation eects - see page 22.)

How the Tempo Value is Recalled
Use the Tempo Select Menu to choose how the tempo value is saved and recalled
(this is the same option found in your Helix or HX hardware's Global Settings > MIDI/
Tempo screen):
• Per Snapshot - The tempo value is stored and recalled individually per snap-
shot for the current preset.
• Per Preset - The tempo value is stored and recalled individually with this preset.
• Global - The tempo value is used for all presets whenever set to Global.
NOTE: Your Helix device's tempo can also be congured to follow MIDI Clock from
an external source, accessed from within your device's Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo
screen. When your device is actively following MIDI Clock, all options for the Tempo
Controls are disabled and the Tempo value displays as “[External].”
Entering a Tempo Value
To enter a value, click on the Tap Tempo Button rhythmically, or right-click directly on
the Tap Tempo button and type in your desired numerical value.
Creating & Restoring Complete Device Backups
Use the File menu's Create Backup and Restore From Backup commands to create
complete backups of your Helix or HX device's current Global Settings, IRs, and Pre-
sets, and easily restore them back to your device at any time. All presets are backed
up from their last-saved state, therefore, be sure to save your currently-loaded preset
before creating your backup to include its current settings.
NOTE: If you have purchased and imported Marketplace premium presets or IRs,
your computer must be in the Authorized state to be able to use the Create Backup
and Restore From Backup features, if the backup includes Marketplace premium
assets. See “Authorize / Deauthorize Your Computer” on page 35.
TIP: Backup les (.hxb) created using the Create Backup feature any Helix (Helix
Floor, LT or Rack) device can then be “Restored” onto any other Helix device. This
allows you to easily duplicate all your applicable Global Settings, Presets, and IRs
to another Helix in one action.
Backup les created for HX Stomp devices are compatible only with
HX Stomp type devices, and HX Eects backup les are compatible only
with HX Eects type devices.
To Create a Backup
Select the Create Backup command from the File menu to launch the window.
The Create Backup window (Helix device)
1. Name - Your backup le is automatically named with the type of device (Helix
Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT, HX Stomp or HX Eects) and the current date. Op-
tionally, you can click directly on the le name here and edit it as desired.
