HX Edit Pilot's Guide

If you have chosen a Footswitch as your controller rather than an EXP Pedal or
Variax Knob, you'll have a few more options, as described below.
Conguring options for a footswitch controller assignment
• Type - Choose the footswitch behavior:
• Latching - Press and release the footswitch to toggle between the “On/O”
states.
• Momentary - Press and hold and the footswitch. While held down, the “On”
state of the switch is active. While released, the “O” state is active.
• Min and Max - Congure these two sliders to the specic values you'd like the
“O” and “On” footswitch states of the assigned footswitch to toggle between.
• Switch LED - (Helix and HX Eects devices only) Customize the color of the
LED that surrounds the assigned footswitch on your device.
• Customize - (Helix and HX Eects devices only) You can edit the name that ap-
pears for the assigned footswitch label on your device by clicking in this eld.
To return to the default label, click the eraser button.
Creating a Controller Assignment Using an External MIDI Controller Source
It is also possible to congure a block's parameter to be controlled remotely via an
external MIDI controller device, or via MIDI software.
1. To congure a parameter for external MIDI control, you can essentially use the
same steps as in the above controller assignment example. However, in step 3
you will want to select MIDI CC from the Footswitch/Controller Menu.
Selecting MIDI CC as the controller type
2. Once the assignment is created, congure the Min & Max sliders to limit the
range of the assigned parameter control, if desired. You then need to set the
MIDI CC In slider value to match the MIDI CC number being sent from your
external MIDI source - if this value does not match the MIDI CC being sent, the
parameter will not respond.
Conguring a MIDI CC assignment's options
Your conguration is now complete and your external MIDI controller source
should successfully control the selected 70s Chorus - Mix parameter. You'll also
see the assigned CC number shown in the Assignment list's Source column
(“MIDI CC 16”) for reference.
TIP: Alternatively, you can utilize the Learn Controller (MIDI Learn) feature within the
Controller Assign screen of your Helix or HX device to create a MIDI Controller as-
signment.
Creating a Snapshots Controller Assignment
Congure a block's parameter with a Snapshots assignment to allow the parameter's
settings to be stored & recalled with a preset's snapshots.
1. Since a Snapshots assignment is simply one type of controller assignment, you
can follow the same steps 1 and 2 from “Creating a Controller Assignment Using
an EXP Pedal or Footswitch” on page 26 to select the block within the Signal
Flow, and then choose the desired parameter in the Bypass/Controller Assign
tab's Parameter Menu.
2. In the Controller Menu, choose Snapshots.
