Line 6 Helix HX Stomp Update 3.15 Stackable Snapshots Tutorial - Command Center

What do you want to see demo'd from 3.15?!

Great explanation, going to be trying this out :)

Thanks for the help, information really helped.

Hey,

can I use Snapshots, whyle I am plaing in Preset Mode?

Let me explain this:

I have 3 DSP hungry presets:

1. fancy ambient clean:
2. special chrunch
3. Hi-Gain.

Can i use in each Preset, a Snaphot, that boost the volume pe 3dB and kicks in a dealy ?

I think, when i'm in preset 1. i step on FS1 the ich have +3db and delay. i step gain and there are off?

Is this possible ?

Note: on the stomp, you could just as well use next/prev; also, you could assign that button globally.

I didnt know this feature existed! So rad! This is a perfect solution for what Im wanting to do with Helix. Thanks for the video!

This is very helpful man! Thanks!!

Best breakdown by far, thanks for the great tutorial!

Amazing video as always Steve 🔥... Just a quick question (sorry if this has been answered already, BTW I've look for videos about this on your channel, but...) can you set up the Helix floor so when you press the foot switch takes you to a different snapshot but on a completely different preset? That would be like having a master preset with snapshots based on other presets. Thanks

Thanks for the great video Steve. I'm buying an HX Stomp soon and never seen those large, frosted caps on the buttons before. Guessing they are an after-market accessory?

I'm relatively new to the hx stomp xl and wondering if I can stack two snapshots to toggle between two amps and use the other 5 footswitches to change fx? Atm I'm using all 6 in stomp mode bit with just one amp patch

Great video Steve! Just out of curiosity, i've just purchased a Stomp & am trying to set up an external FS to use Snapshots 1 & 2 only for rhythm & lead but it keeps throwing in Snapshot 3 into the mix for some reason. Can Snapshot 3 be disabled somehow? Any idea what i'm doing wrong? Thanx in advance

Amazing! Thanks for posting.

Steve! Great vid! Question.. If i stack snaps one switch can command center let me combine 2 switches? Like switch 1 stacks snaps switch 2 is one preset switch 3 a different preset but switch 2&3 with page up or down thru presets?

You have the cool frosted toppers from Chad Boston. Me too!

Wow very very cool. Great stuff SS. No one but you posted any vids about this feature. You rock.!!

I can't get this to work, followed it like 100 times, trying to make my snapshot 2 hit it to go to Snapshot 5, then back to 2. I didnt clear out all the presets in command center, cause i dont want to mess the patch up. but footswitch 3 which is my snapshot 2 is not assigned in the global assignments

Thank god I saw this video, because otherwise I would NOT have known why my snapshots were bouncing around in a seemingly random way. I had to go reprogram a patch I use that has snapshots because they were giving me strange behaviors until I saw this and understood why.

I’m having a bit of a problem when assigning snapshots using command center. I’m not trying to stack snapshots. I have 4 snapshots and I’m just trying to assign 4 separate footswitches like I always have. When I press any of the footswitches all the snapshot assignments change to next snapshot. Is this a bug issue or am I missing something?

Is it possible to have 3 states with one Footswitch by not using snapshots? A: Fx1 on/Fx2 off, B: FX 2 on/FX 1 off, C: both off...ist there a way to do that?

Can't find how to do it on the Helix Floor :(

Great video! This is really useful, but when I set it up, it takes 2 attempts to switch to a preset. So if I am on preset1 and I set Footswitch1 to take me to preset2, the first time I press it, nothing happens. Then once I press it a second time (even if it is several minutes later) it works. It is not an issue with my unit, as far as I can tell, since assigning individual effects to footswitches works fine. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Help, I followed what you did except im using fs 1 to toggle Prev Snapshot and fs 2 to Next snapshot. Set up footswitches 4 and 5 to toggle presets up and down. On some presets, the snapshots toggle immediately as they should, but on other presets I have to press twice to get snapshots to toggle. I'm confused.

Thanks for the Video. Can you tell me how to select the snapshots like before? I don't wanna use that feature but I don't know how. Helix always want's to select the next snapshot

Why do you do teenage girl selfie angles on all your thumbnails? lmao

Maaaaan, thanks for sharing this tip! This makes the 3 button stomp SO much more versatile. Awesome :) Have a great day // Wince

This is nuts, thanks for the explanation, i'll use this functionality right away
You blew my mind dude!!

Thank you, Steve. Good explanation. Is it now possible to assign the FS with a custom color per snapshot? I don't think so, right?

Hey ! Sorry for my English ! I did everything as you show, but it doesn't work for me. Maybe you need to change something in the global settings? Since I did after installing 3.15, restoring my previous presets and dates.

Thank you for the tutorial. This is a great feature that opens up a number of new possibilities with the HX Stomp!

Thanks Steve! This helps make up for lack of song or setlist functionality. Best Regards and Best Wishes!

The night before I updated my HX my aux foot switcher was working just fine. But after the update the left switch on my foot switcher stopped working...

Great videos!! I just tried this, followed what you did, but on my stomp, I need to push the button twice to make it change snapshots?? Is there a fix?

Hi Steve! How is this function different from "snapshot up"? thank you!)

Nice! :)
I will switch between snapshots but then even switch to a different preset and then in the new preset after some snapshot switching back to the original preset. It's the circle of life! :D haha

Is there possibility to have on button 1,2,3 snapshot 123 and for ex. hold button 3 to access to tuner?

Great feature, especially for the HX Stomp. Excellent explanation too. Thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for the hint! I have just applied it but instead of press/release I used press/hold. In this way I can change between clean and drive with a single click and I can jump into lead with hold, from any of them. From lead, with one click go back to drive and with hold to clean. 🤘🏻

WHAT ? I just sold my HX stomp after watching your fractal video 😣

Thanks Steve, great video, and very informative. I hope some of the new features get passed along to the POD Go. I have heard nothing so far, but this would be a game changer on it. Keep up the great work bro. Later.

On the Stomp this is actually only useful for jumping back and forth between 2 snapshots. If you use all 3 snapshots, no matter which order you do this in it ends up equivalent to Next or Prev ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
... but maybe now that this is possible they might consider giving us more snapshots on the Stomp... here's hoping.

For those using a external midi controller, would be Nice to have more than 3 snapshots

That little Pilot MIDI controller for Stomp just reached a strange state of quasi-obsolescence. Now Wah blocks can be Bypassed by putting an EXP pedal above 95% and "Toe Down", but my EXP/FSW port is taken up by a 2-button switch for Presets. Snapshots can go up/down/previous on a single button, which obviates the need for the Pilot. I have to rethink this whole thing.

Awesome! With my live logic i can do so much cool shit😂

Great vid, you should try the Footswitch Behavior as Press/Hold. That way you can have the hold take you back 😁

Hi, great video. I assume this update is available for HX effects users too?
And, have I got this correct? You potentially can assign FS1 to go between snapshot 1 & snapshot 2 then have FS2 go between snapshot 1 & snapshot 4??
Thanks for reading & any advice, great video too!

This is what I had in mind, but was thinking this is impossible to make. Awesome feature. Line 6 is awesome

Cheers Steve, I like that🎼🎸👍

I'm so glad I could digest these functions update after update, at this point helix is a monstrous thing!
