HX Effects Snapshots

[danpb]

Hi,

 

is there a way to get 6 snapshot slots on the HX Effects rather than 4 plus bank up and down?

Probably not. The stomp only allows up to 3 snapshots.

If there are more than 4 Snapshots available in a Preset but you don't have access to footswitches for more than 4 of them on the device, you should be able to get around this using MIDI messages and a suitable MIDI foot controller. I don't know about the HX Effects, but on the Helix Floor MIDI CC69 is used to access Snapshots within a Preset with a value 000 for Snapshot 1, 001 for Snapshot 2 and so on.

 

I use this function to gain access to Snapshots 5-8 on the Helix Floor without needing the change my switch assignment from Snapshots 1-4 on the lower row and a full bank of Presets on the top row. However I do all my Preset and Snapshot selection from the computer that plays back our drums and second synth backing, so I can't give you any advice on a suitable foot controller. However have a look at the spec for the Behringer FCB1010 which seems to have a good selection of features.
