that snapshot. When set to "Recall," any snapshot edits are recalled when jumping from snapshot to snapshot, and appear as you last left them. When
set to "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
changes made to a snapshot while Snapshot Edits is set to "Discard,” press SAVE twice before selecting another. 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. At any time, hold
BYPASS and press SAVE to toggle this setting. Also see "Determining Snapshot Edit Behavior"

Knob Parameter Description
1
MIDI Base
Channel
Sets the system base MIDI channel that Helix uses for both receiving and sending MIDI communication via MIDI and USB. Note that MIDI messages as-
signed from the Command Center page can be set to any MIDI channel.
2 MIDI Thru
When on, MIDI OUT also acts as a MIDI THRU; that is, it passes through any MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN jack.
3
MIDI Over
USB
When on, Helix receives and transmits MIDI data via USB in the same capacity as its MIDI jacks.
4
MIDI PC

commands manually assigned from the Command Center page. Also determines whether or not Helix responds to program changes.
5 Tempo Select
The “Speed” or “Time” parameters of all tempo-based FX can be set to a note value that follows Tap Tempo or the tempo set with Knob 6 (Snapshot
BPM/Preset BPM/Global BPM). Choose whether the Helix tempo is stored and recalled with each snapshot, recalled with each preset, or is applied glob-
ally across all presets and snapshots.
6
Snapshot
BPM/Preset
BPM/Global
BPM
This is an alternative way to set the Helix tempo, as opposed to stepping repeatedly on the TAP footswitch. Depending on the Knob 5 (Tempo Select)
setting, this value is saved per snapshot, per preset, or globally. The Helix device's tempo has a resolution of 0.1 BPM (beats per minute). You can also
