Hey, I've just found a trick. I disable the Snapshot clip (with CC69 message) on first beat (or few milliseconds) of the locators. So there's not this kind of "double midi message" when I use the Helix FS midi controllers. Works fine for me. Yeah !!!

Yeah, seems better ! Really better. It was it : a 127 value. Thanks you very much rd2rk ! Well, I have a last problem with Previous Locator and Next Locator when I use the FS affected and the track Snapshot (with CC69 on clips) The problem : when I press the FS (FS4 or FS10, see parameters below), it jumps a locator. It goes to the "next next", and not the "next" locator. It seems, it goes to the next when I press, the again to the next when I release FS... > Do you have an idea for this ? The problem doesn't appear when the track Snapshot is muted. that is to say, when Ableton doesn't control Helix snapshots with CC69 midi message. My parameters : Helix : FS4 : called Previous : : Command Midi CC > Midi CH : 16 > CC# : 104 > Value : 127 FS10 : called Next : Command Midi CC > Midi CH : 16 > CC# : 105 > Value : 127 Ableton midi mapping Ch 16 > Note/command : CC104 > Path : Locators > Name : Previous locator Ch 16 > Note/command : CC105 > Path : Locators > Name : Next locator

Sorry. Here are the screenshots of midi parameters and midi mapping below. I use a Focusrite audio interface as a midi hub. The helix is connected to the Focusrite with 2 midi cables. And I add pictures of Helix midi parameters too. Note that the Snapshots clips send a CC69 on channel 5 to change snapshots. And I tried with Snapshot CC Send in On mode in the Helix, and this is still the same problem : no control. > Do you see a wrong parameter or something weird ?

Sorry. Here is the photo

I tried this, with CC102 to CC109 and 0 value, on the 8 FS of the Helix. I mappped again midi in Ableton. And it's does not work. Do you reproduced the problem rd2rk ?

I didn't know for the "reserved" CC's. Thank you very much. I'm gonna try this ! Thank you too for the example.

Hello, More details : 1. In the Helix, I changed midi message from Notes to Midi CC (with 0 value as adviced) on each FS of each snapshot. 2. In Ableton, I changed Midi mapping like this, using helix Footswitchs ("repère" = "Locator" in french): 3. Once validated, when I press any Footswitch, no action is triggered. The orange midi message monitor at the top right informs me that a signal is received when I activate an FS. Any idea ?

Yes. And it would be good to know when it becomes "complex" !

I didn't know it. Thanks a lot. Otherwise, I Tried to convert NOTES by CC messages and... it does not work at all ! Weird. Any idea ? I would really prefer to use the Helix. But I see that you have studied the question well... Line6 didn't try to improve all this with the new firmware? How can we suggest them?

Hello, I use Ableton 11 with my Helix Floor (firmware 3.6), for 2 things: 1. Automatically change Helix snapshots to arrangement view 2. Control Ableton with the Helix footswitches. For 1, in Ableton, I created a midi track and clips with the CC69 command. For 2, in the Helix, I used Command Control and assigned midi notes in all snapshots so that I could control several Ableton buttons (ex: Play, Stop, Next locator, Previous Locator) Here is the problem. When I start playback with the Snapshots track activated, midi commands start on their own. In particular, the Next locator and Previous locator... I'm adding a link to a video I just made to visualize the problem in Ableton : I want to point out that I did not use the Instants Commands. Does anyone have an idea to solve my problem ? Thank you in advance for your contributions.

Hello, My research led me here. I dig up this discussion. I'd like to use my Helix with a DAW (Ableton or Reaper) doing this : Guitar > Input : Guitar In > Output : XLR + USB (to record loop in the SAW) Microphone 1 > Input : Microphone > Output : XLR + USB (to record loop in the SAW) Microphone 2 > Input : ??? > Output : XLR + USB (to record loop in the SAW) Microphone 3 > Input : ??? > Output : XLR + USB (to record loop in the SAW) Tracks in DAW (pre-recorded or played with midi controller/VST > Input : USB > Output : XLR > Do you have an idea for mics 2 and 3 ? Thank you for your answer !
