SOLVED: Nevermind, remember waht I did, you need to go into the Helix MIDI settings and set MIDI PC SEND/RECEIVE to OFF, doh!

So I'm trying to launch an audio clip in Ableton using an Helix instant command when I switch to a particular preset, doesn't matter which CC value I use Ableton maps it as "Pitchbend", not the actual CC value, and even then the clip will not launch. I have no problem mapping foot switches within the preset to Ableton, I'm just having an issue with Ableton and Helix instant commands. Infuriatingly I remember finding a fix to this, but with age I've forgotten. Can anyone help? Cheers! Arf

agreed! and David Gilmour!

MIDI control on the Helix is disappointing, can't send multiple MIDI messages from a single footswitch, lack of dedicated CTRL switches. My old Boss GT-10 could be configured to switch presets and send multiple MIDI messages with a single foot tap. When I first got my Helix I assumed, given the claims about its MIDI control, it would do as much and more than my old Boss GT-10. Not so.. I'm also using the Helix to control Ableton to start and stop backing tracks and also to trigger samples during the performance, but it was much easier with more options on my GT-10.
