HX Edit Pilot's Guide

The Edit Tab
The Inspector window's Edit panel provides access to all models via its multi-level Model
Browser, where you can choose from numerous categories of models to make up your
tone. This panel also displays all available parameters for the block that is currently se-
lected within the Signal Flow window, providing easy access for editing.
HX Device Owners: HX Edit functionality described in this chapter is the same
for all Helix and HX devices, except where noted.
Selecting Models
As mentioned in the previous chapter (page 20), add models to your current preset by
selecting the desired empty location on any path within the Signal Flow window and then
choose the specic model you want from the Model Select Menu. You can also select any
existing block within the Signal Flow and change its model this way.

The Edit Panel's Model Browser
Choose the type of block rst in the Category List at the left to see all of its available
models appear in the Model List. Note that, once you've selected a Category, you can
toggle List/Grid View toggle button to change between a menu list or grid type display
of the category's models.
HX Effects Owners: HX Eects devices do not include Helix Amp, Preamp or
Cab type models, therefore, these categories will not be available.
Model List view Model Grid view
For block categories that oer it, you'll see a sub-category menu at the top of the Model
List, where you can choose to see Mono, Stereo or Legacy type models. Amp categories
oer Guitar & Bass sub-categories, and for Cabs you'll see Single & Dual category options.
Once you click on any model in the Model List it is instantly active and loaded into the se-
lected Signal Flow location. You'll see the selected model's editable parameters appear
at the right of the Edit panel. If you want to remove an existing block, select it within the
Signal Flow and choose the None category's Empty Block option (or use the Clear
Block menu command).
DSP Limit
As in your Helix or HX device's Model Select menu, when the current preset reaches a
high DSP usage, some models become non-selectable within the menu. In the HX Edit
app's menu, you'll see models dimmed to indicate this, as shown below. To free up more
DSP resources for the current preset, try removing some models, or selecting “Simple”
or “Legacy” type models. For Helix devices, utilize both Path 1 and Path 2 to take advan-
tage of all available DSP power. (See the DSP Management information within your device's
Owner's Manual for details.)
Dimmed models
Unavailable models appear dimmed when the preset's DSP limit is reached
NOTE: Also see “Preset Compatibility” on page 4 for relevant information
about DSP limits and the use of Helix presets with the Helix Native Plug-in.
