bassbus Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 A small query about external patch changes via midi. I'm using my Strymon Big Sky in a stereo effects loop and have set a switch to select the patch I want on the big Sky. That works fine. What I would like to happen is the Big Sky patch being selected automatically when I select the patch on the Helix without having to press the button once I have selected the Helix patch. I hope that makes sense. Anyone any idea if this is possible and/or how to set it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Replace "H9" with "Strymon" If you want the H9 to RECEIVE on the Helix Base Channel (default CH1), go into GLOBAL/MIDI and set MIDI PC SEND to OFF. That prevents Helix from sending the default PC# for that Helix Preset, and sends ONLY the PC# you set in Command Center as an Instant Message (don't forget to save the preset!). OR Set the H9 to receive on a different channel than the Helix Base Channel, and set the Instant Message PC# to send on that channel. ex: if Helix Base Channel = CH1, then set H9 to receive on CH2 and Instant message to send on CH2.

bassbus Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Thanks for the help. Problem solved. I can't believe how well this machine is designed. Clearly Line 6 have actually talked to and listened to musicians. Phenomenal piece of kit. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
