Just picked up one of these second hand and planning to use it in 4CM as a pedalboard replacement. I have all the effects I need in a single signal chain on the unit but I'm a bit short on footswitches! I wondered if you can use a snapshot to assign blocks to different footswitches? If there is a way, I can't find it but I'm not very familiar with the Helix series. Basically I'd like something like Snapshot 1 -> FS1 is Tremolo, Snapshot 2 -> FS1 is Flanger. Kind of thing.
ATM I just have 2 patches which are identical other than footswitch assignments. Snapshots would be neater though.

I ended up using it in preset mode with the left most pair of footswitches up/down through presets and the four remaining being snapshots within that preset - effectively ending up with 4 versions of each preset.
You can end up with your outcome by including a tremolo and flanger in the preset but not mapping them to footswitches. one snapshot can have one enabled and vice versa so that achieves what you want but you need to switch brain from stomp mode to snapshot mode. Hopefully that longwinded spiel makes sense!!
I may try to give it a go as I've a couple of presets with more FX than I have spare buttons for.
or do something with parallel paths that has the same effect?
