NOTE: If a switch is assigned to multiple blocks or items, its box reads "MUL-
TIPLE (X)," where X is the number of assignments, and stepping on the switch
turnsthemallonando.Ifsomeblocksareonandsomearebypassed,step-
ping on the switch toggles each block's bypass state.
NOTE: While in Stomp mode, stepping on BANK or BANK temporarily
enters Preset mode. Once you’ve selected a preset, Helix LT returns to Stomp
mode.
Snapshot Footswitch Mode
Similar to the snapshots feature in some high end digital mixers, each of the eight
snapshots in Helix LT stores and recalls the state of certain elements in the current
preset, including:
• Block Bypass—The bypass (on/o) state of all processing blocks (except
Looper), independent of any footswitch assignments. Also see "Snapshots >
Block Bypass")
• Parameter Control—The values of any parameters assigned to controllers
(up to 64 per preset). Also see "Snapshots > Parameter Control"
• Command Center—The values of any instant MIDI CC, Bank/Prog, and MMC
messages, plus the state (dim or lit) of any CC Toggle and Ext Amp messages.
Also see "Command Center"
• Tempo—The current system tempo, if "Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo" >
Tempo Select is set to "Per Snapshot." (By default, it's set to "Per Preset.")
1. Press BANK and BANK simultaneously to enter Snapshot
mode.

2. Press one of the eight snapshot switches to select it.
NOTE: Snapshots are powerful enough to warrant their own chapter. See "Snap-
shots" for more information.
NOTE: If you don’t want Snapshot footswitches to disappear after selecting one,
set "Global Settings > Footswitches" > Knob 3 (Snapshot Mode Switches) to
“Manual Return.” In this case, Helix LT stays in Snapshot footswitch mode until
you press FS6.
