thank you i understand for the variax knob. what do you mean with knob 2 knob 3? Variax knob?

Sorry it's very hard to explain. For example i use a player to send midi cc on my helix. i use CC#3 to control the exp pedal. On my preset i assign a midi cc to the exp 3 to control another effect. I just want to know if i could do the same with variax knob to keep the exp pedals free for doing other things?

Can I control the Variax knob with midi CC? I need 2 receive and transform 2 midi CC. Presently i use expression pedal but i want to do the same with Variax knob because i think that I never own a variax. Thanks.

Hye, I need some help, I use midi CC and PC to change preset and snapshot and I use midi clock to synchronise. My software is reaper. When I just use PC and CC it work. When I just use Clock it work. But when i use twice. The helix listen only three message (one PC and 2 CC) after that he seems to ignore it. I have check the midi message (with bome send DX) and all the message are sending so do you think it could be a helix bug? If someone can do some test with cubase or protools, I could spot if it is a reaper problem or a helix problem. Thanks

Hello! It's always me and my midi problem... I use midi CC and PC to change preset and snapshot. I use midi clock to synchronise. When I just use PC and CC it work. When I just use Clock it work. But when i use twice. The helix listen only three message (one PC and 2 CC) after that he seems to ignore it. I have check the midi message (with bome send DX) and all the message are sending so do you think it could be a helix bug? i've joined the midi file and the txt who show the messages. withclock.txt withoutclock.txt compo 1.mid

Hello phil_m, I'm interresting to have a midi solution processor plus. I will plug it betwen the helix and the other fx. The helix doesn't have power on the midi out so i have to buy midi solution power adaptateur to ?

Yes but i think it's less specific, more complicated and if you use the helix to sync another fx it's dosen't work.

Hello i don't know if this is a bug and it's not a big problem but when you copy a snapshot to another. All the parameters are copied except the color of the led so if you copy on a empty preset you will have a switch with no color. For me there is another bug when i work with my computer with no midi tempo sync and no tap tempo information. I use the computer to send midi cc and pc. sometimes the preset's tempo change to 20 bpm...

What do you think about : Tempo controled by exp pedal (like the sonuus FX) https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Tempo-controled-by-exp-pedal/945391-23508?submitted=1#idea-tab-comments And please don't forget my other submission. Nobody but me need this. But it's really important if one day you want use the tempo sync!! https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Add-real-time-message-to-control-center/935160-23508#idea-tab-comments Thank you

hello, I have a new problem to day when i swap 2 snapshot (i touch the twice switch mith my finger). The Helix freeze.... Does someone have this trouble too? Thank you When i try to restore from a backup i have this message : nally Finally i arrived to restore the back up it's seems to be a preset whose create a bug in the helix...

Hello I post here my desire. Can you add please a FA message to synchronise the fX plugged with the helix. This message is send only one time when you set tempo send on midi. But it is important to synchronise the FX together...

I continue to think the line 6 helix don't manage the midi sync very well. There a many clock one for the led one for the fx and one for the midi send and they don't be able to work together. they have the same tempo but they dosen't care about the starting point. I will try with Hz but I'm sure that what i want to do is not possible now with this unit and i'm very disapointed. I try many things but what i want to do is not to complicate as well. I just want to use an external fx synchronised with my helix and it is not possible. I will try now to use the tremolo from the helix but i'm sure it dosen't work all the time. i have to find some solutions and to hack with many things the unit to do a simple things it's definitely a serious bug for me and that's why line 6 dosen't respond on my support ticket. Edit : i tryed with Hz so if i want a tremolo with 80 bpm it's means 1.33Hz but on the helix i can set 1.3 or 1.4 so the tremolo dosen't rest in time during only one measure.. So it's useless to... the resync seems to work I've done many many test today and finally the 2.70 have some good add for me.. It's work better with midi sync.. now i need just the FA message to synchronise my others effects.

So what is the advantage about that? for me it's just a disfunction.

So you are agree with me that the bliking of the light is very strange? I starting again the test. So my first test i have a metronome set on 40 bpm. The preset that i send to you... My test : I load the preset on the 1. Each time the tremolo do sound on 1 no sound on 2 sound on 3 no sound on 4. It always work even if the light do strange thinks... I try to invert the tremolo, i physically tap the tap tempo switch on the 2 nothing happend. It seems like the resync don't work if your time is set on note note on HZ. Sometimes it works and when it works le tremolo begin always with the sound off. So it is inverted. So first you have right i will turn off the tempo led because it is useless ok now a second test : if I use the metronome like the first test with the same preset. and i juste want to double the tempo. i tap the tap tempo 3 or 4 times (i try twice) It's the always the same the tremolo begin with no sound sound so for me it is inverted.. Duncann can you do this tests for me?

No probleme talking to you is like a little therapy for me! The problem is that i understand what you mean and for me it's logical so you have right but it dosen't work for me. i can't send midi sync tempo and midi message at the same time. But with the both i have trouble. If i send midi sync (and no message). my other FX (strymon and sonuus) reset the lfo because reaper send a reseting message when it start the song. The helix don't manage this message. If i send midi cc i don't use the midi sync because it dosen't work and for me the helix dosen't manage the tempo to. I will test again but i'm disapointed because i spend a lot of time and i have no return from line 6 about this. But if you can help me and reproduce the trouble I have or not it help me to carry on so thank you! Have you a stomp with midi sync? And what about my test have you do and have the same result or not? I want you to make this simple test: For me the led lights on the downbeat. what do you think? When you load a preset for me, the preset should begin on the first time on the downbeat. Can you try to load the preset when the light is on and when the light is off? For me as you have a tempo per preset the lights should lights on when you load the preset independently of the older tempo because when you load a preset the lfo have to reset itself.

Hello i don't understand. This morning I do the update. I open my reaper project and try my tremolo and it's allways the same. At the first time the tremolo had the good tempo but he was not in time. I see so much problem it makes me crazy! I will said you just 2 example that prove for me it don't work as it could (i make all my test with the tempo set as minimum 40): First example : My computer sends the tempo with midi and the helix receives it (led blue) sometimes the led lights with the metronome sometimes not. (the helix is set with midi thru on and if I compare with my sonuus voluum she lights with the metronome all times). Second example : i will use my tremolo without midi sync. When i load my preset sometimes when the red led lights on the tremolo cut the sound sometimes it's the opposite. You could said to me "but the blinking of the led dosen't proove that it dosen't sound as well". Yes but it's almost the same with the sound. For me the helix get up the tempo without logical. I want you to make this simple test: For me the led lights on the downbeat. what do you think? When you load a preset for me, the preset should begin on the first time on the downbeat. Can you try to load the preset when the light is on and when the light is off? For me as you have a tempo per preset the lights should lights on when you load the preset independently of the older tempo because when you load a preset the lfo have to reset itself. For me the led starts when she wants and the lfo starts when he wants. They all follow the good tempo but they are not together. When i physically tapping the tempo switch one for me it dosen't work. At the beginning i thought that my unit have a problem but a friend can reproduce this on his unit. When i get some more time i will try again to use the CC64 and i will make again this test. i hope you will carry on to help me because i feel less alone and fool!! :) Tempo Test.hlx

ok thanks and I will test with the new firmware when i get some more time

No i don't said that it manage differently the tempo betwen tremolo and delays. But when the tempo work if you use a delay, it just repeat the note you play so you don't need a starting point. But with a tremolo the lfo cut the sound so if he cut not at the good time it sound horrible.

No i'm french!! But thank you very much because you don't think that my language really sucks!!!!! :) :) yes Someonoe who trust me! For me no because of that you can't use the helix's tremolo to sauf it's a big problem. I've tried anything and i'm pretty sure it dosen't work if you use it with a fx like dealey or chorus it's work because you don't realy need to have a starting point. the tempo is good no problem but the lfo is not reseting. Hello and thank for your response. Today i'm under pressure because i find out there is a new version with : Bug Fixes HX Effects only—Switching Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo > Tempo Select values while transmitting MIDI clock could sometimes result in sending incorrect tempi — FIXED HX Effects only—After resetting Global Settings, Tap Tempo could become unresponsive while receiving MIDI Clock — FIXED So i don't give up!

Hello i'm a little bit disapointed because i feel that line 6 dosen't really care about my problem. I have open a support ticket when the technicien respond to me very quickly. But now i don't have any news since 3 months. I don't understand because the helix is really a beast to manage some fx but for the moment we can't use the tempo sync. What a shame! Ok i think that line 6 was very busy with his new product but i hope that they're looking after this problem to find a solution quickly. Thanks

Thank you for your answer but i try many things (hit once twice thrice and i have programmed a midi file with the tap tempo on each downbeat) nothing works. Anyway i think that you have the same problem with a tap tempo use. I think that the Helix is a very good unit. He must be able to control the start of the lfo. like i write before this is for me the reason of this trouble :

Hello Always the same probleme with the midi i'm doing now a video to show how the helix h't have trouble with a computer's tempo sync's. I show you 2 pictures for waiting until i finish the moovie. So i want a straight tremolo 50% with sound on the downbeat and 50% no sound on the upbeat. I make few records with the 2 configurations : - If the helix was configurate to don't send the tempo and with midi thru. the sonnuus make that : - It the helix receive the tempo ad send it with no midi thru the sonnus do that : For your infomation it 's the same if i use a helix's tremolo. And for me there is a probleme with the tap tempo to. So i think there a bug with that the helix's lfo dosen't work. I hope you undertand me sorry for my bad english. Florent

hello for me the helix dosen't manage the tempo very well. I use midi sync with a Daw and the helix give the tempo to my other FX. And nothing work as they could do. Use a square tremolo 1/4 and you will hear that he is not on time. The tempo is good but not the depart point. The led is blinking very strage too when you choose another snapshot she stop and blink but she blink near on the upbeat. It's not a probleme if the blink is just an infomration but for me the blink and the tempo are link so if the led is blinking like random the fx too. I think the tempo is a big trouble on the helix we have to speak about that because line 6 has to solve it quickly. (sorry for my bad english)

Thank you but it dosen't work. I try one (and more) step or send message on time. And I try with the MMC play message to. But it's always look like they began when they want. For me when i test the sending message from the helix. we need a FA message. The helix is sending F8 all the time so there is no point for reseting the differents lfo.

Hye! For me there is a big problem if you try to use the helix with a midi sync. I have make a new preset with a 50 BPM tempo and just a square tremolo 1/4 with 50% duty. My computer is sending the tempo (50 bpm) with midi clock. and the tremolo have the good tempo even if i add a tempo change but the begining off the tremolo is a random one. if i start the song again the tremolo begin at another time. It's really strange I use midi sync with another FX the helix is the master, i have the same probleme all my fx are synchronised but begin at different time. if i use the computeur tempo the other fx are stable. i hope you fix this urgently because i bought the helix to synchronise all my other FX ilke that the helix are useless.. Thank you and sorry for my bad english
