HexTile v1.0.1
⚠️ THIS SOFTWARE IS FREE! If you paid money for HexTile, you have been scammed. It is and always will be free and open source.
HexTile lets you control your HX Stomp foot switches when you can't get near them!
What's new in v1.0.1
Keyboard Shortcuts
You can now trigger any footswitch, snapshot, preset navigation, or the tuner toggle directly from your keyboard — no clicking required. Shortcuts are only active when HexTile is in focus, so they won't interfere with your DAW.
All shortcuts are fully configurable via Actions > Settings. Click a box and press any key to assign it; Backspace or Delete clears it. HexTile will warn you if you assign the same key to more than one action.
Defaults:
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Footswitches 1–8 | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
| Snapshots 1–4 | Q W E R |
| Next / Previous Snapshot | ↑ ↓ |
| Next / Previous Preset | → ← |
| Toggle Tuner | T |
Always on Top
Toggle Actions > Always on Top to keep HexTile above all other windows — useful when playing alongside a DAW or tabs.
Configurable MIDI Channel
The MIDI base channel HexTile sends on is now configurable via Actions > Settings (default: 1). This must match the MIDI Base Channel set in your HX Stomp's global settings.
Performance
The delay between pressing a button and the command being sent has been removed. The button reset delay has been reduced to 500ms.
