*NOTE: The dierent Helix device types oer varying sets of Command Center as-
signment options, therefore, unsupported commands cannot be copied between
dierent Helix devices (e.g., Helix LT and HX Eects devices do not oer an EXP 3
controller, thus it is not possible to paste an EXP 3 command assignment from a Helix
oor to these devices).
To Cut, Copy or Clear - Simply right-click on the desired instant , Footswitch, EXP
Pedal or Variax Knob controller item that includes the assignment and choose the com-
mand from the context menu.
• Use Cut if you want to clear the assignments of the selected Control Select
item, and also copy the assignments to the clipboard.
• Use Copy All if you want to copy the complete set of existing Command Center
assignments within the current preset and you can then load a dierent preset
and use Paste All Commands within its Command Center window to copy all
in one action.
• Use Clear All if you want to wipe out all the Command Center assignments
from the current preset and start clean.
To Paste - Once you've copied Command Center assignment data to the clip-
board, right-click on your desired destination controller item (within the same pre-
set, or in another) and choose the Paste or Paste All option.
Configuring Unique Assignments Per Snapshot
It is possible to congure your Command Center assignments with specic command
values that dier within each snapshot, allowing a great deal of message variety pos-
sibilities within a single preset. The message types supported by snapshots include
the Value parameters of any instant MIDI CC, Bank/Prog, and MMC message, plus the
state (Dim or Lit) of any CC Toggle and Ext Amp messages. Please refer to your Helix
or HX device's Owner's Manual for details on the types of Command Center messages
that can be stored & recalled with a snapshot, and their specic behaviors.
To store your assignment settings within a snapshot, rst select the desired snapshot
index number from the Snapshots menu at the top of the app's Editor window, and
then open the Command Center and edit the eligible values of your existing Control
Center assignments that you wish to be stored. The settings are automatically retained
per snapshot. Be sure to save your preset once your edits are complete. (Also see
“Conguring & Managing Snapshots” on page 15.)
Customizing a Footswitch Label
When you create a Command Center assignment to the selected footswitch control
within the Command Center window, you'll see the Customize eld available within the
parameter display at the right.
You can customize text in this eld to determine what is displayed on the hardware's
footswitch scribble strip (Helix Floor, Helix Control, and HX Eects devices), or on the
footswitch display block when in Stomp Mode (Helix LT devices). To clear your text and
return to the default label, click the Clear (eraser) button to the right of the eld.

NOTE: If the footswitch includes one or more additional block Bypass, Controller or
Command Center assignments, the default label appears as Multiple (X) with “X”
being the number of current assignments. You can customize the label in this sce-
nario, but note that it can also be customized within the Custom Label eld of the
Bypass/Controller Assignment tab as well, with the latest customization edit aecting
the label in all places.
Customizing a Footswitch LED Color
When the selected footswitch within the Command Center window includes any type of
Bypass, Controller or Command Center assignment, the color of the LED on/o indica-
tor light surrounding your footswitch can be customized to your color choice using the
Switch LED slider/menu at the right.*
The Command Center - Switch LED parameter
The options are as follows:
• Choose one of the 10 colors
• Auto Color - The LED intelligently takes on the color according to the assigned
model type.
• O - The LED remains unlit, regardless of the switch state.
*NOTE: This option is also found within the Bypass/Controller Assign panel - cus-
tomizing an LED in either will overwrite the LED's current settings.
