Saving Snapshots
Press SAVE twice to save the preset.
Saving a preset stores all of its 8 snapshots automatically.
NOTE: Selecting a preset recalls the Snapshot that was active when the preset
was saved.
Determining Snapshot Edit Behavior
Say you’re on Snapshot 2 (VERSE) and you change a few things—switch a delay block
on,switchamodblocko, tweakan Amp’sGainparameterfromyourVariaxTone
knob, etc. If you switch to Snapshot 4 (CHORUS) and then back to Snapshot 2 for
the second verse, should Helix recall those changes or return Snapshot 2 to its state
when the preset was last saved? There’s no right answer, and Helix lets you choose.
1. Press and then Knob 6 (Global Settings).
2. Move the joystick to select the Preferences submenu.

3. Turn Knob 1 (Snapshot Edits) to set snapshot edit behavior:
• Recall—Any snapshot edits are recalled when jumping from snapshot to snap-
shot, and appear as you last left them (the default)
• Discard—Any snapshot edits are discarded when jumping from snapshot to
snapshot, and appear as the preset was last saved. If you want to save chang-
es made to a snapshot while Snapshot Edits is set to “Discard,” press SAVE
twice before selecting another snapshot
The camera icon on the home screen shows you the Snapshot Edits setting at a
glance—When set to “Recall,” the camera is gray; when set to “Discard,” the camera
is red.
