jonperry4 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Is it possible to use the midi in/thru on the Helix to feed midi notes to a soft synth on my computer via a usb connection? I got it all hooked up to the midi send on my keyboard and my DAW was only recognizing one note/chord every 5-6 seconds. It would ignore all other input in the interim. If anyone has a walkthrough on how to set this up I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hideout Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 So, if I understand you correctly, you’re essentially trying to use the Helix as a midi interface. Not sure how much of the full midi spec it actually supports. If it doesn’t support note data, that would be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonperry4 Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 That's it exactly. I (perhaps foolishly!) figured that if it worked as an audio interface, it might work as a midi interface as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hideout Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 This might be a question for Line6 support. Or maybe check out the midi implementation chart (if there is one) in the back of the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hideout Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I just checked the manual and nothing there mentions midi note data. I think the Helix deals with patch change and controller data and not much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigGT Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 On a similar note, I was trying a Strymon app which works great with the pedals connected to my pc midi but I can't get it to work using the Helix midi ports over USB.
