Thanks, indeed MIDI mapping would make it more manageable for a DJ (for live performance). But the freedom on the effects is widening the horizon on creativity. Thanks for shedding some light and shortening the learning curve :-)

I see what you mean, already had those (still have an RMX-500) and indeed more instant gratification ... Spot on from that perspective. But found it to be limiting in the sound manipulation, presets and that is it ... Only software had a somewhat wider selection (like traktor) on FX, but not that in to updating software (and peripherals) the whole time :-) , and worried about fails on live performance - so I prefer stand-alone units. So in the meanwhile found one Helix (at a great discount) and started my learning curve, and indeed not that easy if your used to turning knobs and sliders as a DJ. However, found some great advantages too, most of my music is 4/4, exp pedals can tune more parameters (at once), and in a limited range (not the full extension), with 2 send/returns (stereo). So maybe if I need more granularity, I 'd look into the combo with MIDI. Thanks for you honest feedback, and today I am still in the happy rush of a new purchase.

Hi everyone, Anyone any idea whether the Helix is usable as a multi FX for a DJ ? Meaning that the (mono) guitar in will not be used but only the send returns (two (L/R) as stereo). Did someone already try this idea / or mentioned in another post / video ? Just a stereo IN from any source (ipad, mix panel, ...) resulting in sound on speakers :-) Thanks for posting a reply, or any info on (non) usability. All the best, Pieter.
