Here’s an example where seven parameters (out of a possible 64) are updated in-
stantly with each snapshot:

In the table above, we see that when switching from Snapshot 2—VERSE to Snap-
shot 3—BRIDGE:
• The connected Variax guitar switches from the Spank-1 guitar model to the
Lester-5 guitar model
• The Amp block’s gain increases from 4.5 to 5.2
• The Delay block’s Mix increases from 35% to 43%
• The Split block routes your guitar from Path A to Path B
• The Pitch block’s Interval lowers from +5 to +3 semitones
• The IR changes from #27 to #103
• The Output block’s Level increases from 0.0dB to +0.8dB
If you want a parameter to be automatically updated with each snapshot, a controller
(suchastheSnapshotscontroller)mustrstbeassignedtoit.
Quick Assigning the Snapshots Controller
To adjust a parameter AND have it automatically update per snap-
shot, press and turn the knob.
The parameter's value appears white and in brackets, indicating a controller's as-
signed to it—in this case, the Snapshots controller:

To adjust a parameter WITHOUT it automatically updating per
snapshot, just turn the knob like you normally would.
As long as a parameter is not assigned to any controller, its value is maintained across
snapshots.
SHORTCUT: Hold BYPASS and press a parameter knob to quickly remove any
controller assignment (including the Snapshots controller). The value appears
without brackets, indicating no controller is assigned to it.
See "Using Snapshots" for more information.
Manually Assigning the Snapshots Controller
1. From the Home screen, press and hold the knob for the pa-
rameter you want to update with each snapshot.
Helix LT jumps to the Controller Assign page and displays your parameter above
Knob 1 (Parameter).
2. Turn Knob 2 (Controller) to select "Snapshots."
NOTE: Actually, it doesn't matter which controller you assign the param-
eter to, as all controller-assigned parameters automatically update with each
snapshot. The exception is any parameters controlled by EXP Pedal 1, 2,
or 3 (such as Volume, Wah, and Pitch Wham), which are only updated per
snapshot if "Global Settings > EXP Pedals" > EXP 1/2/3 Pedal Position is
set to "Per Snapshot."
3. Press to return to the Home screen.
NOTE: Each preset can have up to 64 controller assignments, including pa-
rameters controlled by Snapshots. If you attempt to add a 65th, "Too many
controller assignments!" appears in the header:
Too many controller assignments!

In this case, you must clear some controllers to free up assignments. See
