EXP Pedal
1, 2
Moving the expression pedal automatically enables (or bypasses)
the block.
Selecting EXP Pedal 1 or 2 displays Knob 2 (Position) and Knob 3
(Wait). Position determines where in the expression pedal's travel
the block is enabled or bypassed. 0% is heel down; 99% is toe
down. Wait determines how long Helix LT waits before bypassing
theblock;forexample,youwouldn'twantthewahtoturnoevery
time you touched the heel down position in your big funk wah solo.
Variax Vol,
Variax Tone
Moving the Variax Volume or Tone knob automatically enables (or
bypasses) the block.
Selecting Variax Vol or Variax Tone displays Knob 2 (Position) and
Knob 3 (Wait). Position determines where in the knob's travel the
block is enabled or bypassed. 0% is all the way down (counter-
clockwise), 99% is all the way up (clockwise). Wait determines
how long Helix LT waits before bypassing the block.
SHORTCUT: Alternatively, press Knob 6 (Learn) and then move the desired
expression pedal or Variax knob. Helix LT automatically selects it.
NOTE: Adding a Volume Pedal, Pan, Wah, or Pitch Wham block automati-
cally assigns it to "Exp Toe".
NOTE: Footswitch type (momentary or latching) is determined per foot-
switch, not per assignment.
NOTE: Each footswitch can have up to 8 assignments. If you attempt to
add a ninth, "Can't assign any more blocks to this footswitch!" appears in
the header:
Can’t assign any more blocks to this footswitch!

TIP: To reverse bypass behavior, press BYPASS. In such case, the block
will be bypassed when moving the expression pedal or Variax knob past the
Position location. Since multiple blocks can be assigned to an expression
pedal,movingthepedalcanturnsomeblocksonandothersoatdierent
positions in the pedal's travel.
5. If desired, turn Knob 4 (MIDI In) to assign an incoming MIDI CC
message to turn the block on and o.

that some MIDI CCs are reserved for global functions and cannot be selected.
SHORTCUT: Alternatively, press Knob 6 (Learn) and then send Helix LT a
MIDI CC message. The message is automatically selected. See "Controller
Assign" for more info.
