Hey guys and especially Helix gurus! :)
I have Helix LT and I am thinking about using it to control Ableton live for well, live playing :)
the idea is to have couple scenes in Ableton representing different parts of the song and jumping between them using Helix.
After messing around with couple approaches, it seems that for what I want to do something like this would work:
1. top four footswithes will be used to send notes to Ableton for Play, scene up, scene down, stop.
2. bottom four foot switches will be my basic stomps within a snapshot, so I can still turn stuff on and off - probably drive, delay, reverb and something.
I was able to set it up, but my issue is with command center settings constantly switching the values of the notes to one value particularly, thus making it ineffective for changing the scenes in Ableton.
It looks like it is caused by snapshots being in recall mode. In discard mode they stay set correctly, but that defeats the purpose of having stomp boxes in a snapshot, because in discard mode it always goes back to whatever it was saved with and that is not ideal for what I usually do.
So I do not understand what I am doing wrong or why when in recall mode the command center settings constantly change when switching the snapshots. Can someone explain that to me?
I am not very MIDI knowledgeable and I am also new to Ableton, but if I could make it work this way, it would be great :)
thanks for help!
