HXS XL users, I need your help!

I recently traded my HXS for an XL, and I am having a hard time wrapping my head around foot switch programming. Is there a way to clear out all the foot switch assignments and start from scratch? I am trying to get 1 switch to toggle between 2 presets, and I would like to have 4 switches to toggle between snapshot and no snapshot. So press would turn on Snapshot 1, and the second press would turn it off. I would like this on 4 different switches, for 4 different snapshots. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Johno!
 
You’ll always be on a snapshot, no matter what. But you could have a switch that toggles between snapshot 1 (a blank “neutral” snapshot) and snapshot 2 (whatever settings you want)

But you have four snapshots per preset and you have to be on one of them at any given time, you don’t turn a snapshot “off” so much as you switch to another snapshot

My suggestion:
Put the XL in four switch mode

Switches 1 and 4 become preset up and down, and then you can assign 2, 3, 5, and 6 to snapshots 1-4 respectively.
