I'm on Windows 11 home edition. No, I didn't have HX edit or other midi app's open when I connected HX directly. It works normal as an audio interface via usb and HX edit is good also. I have a support ticket in with L6, will see what they think.

I did try that also. Plug HX directly into computer, select HX in midi monitor, nothing shows up when I change presets. In HX globals, USB midi is on, PC Tx is on. I tried OMNI for all channels if that was an issue, nothing. I would think if the HX is being recognized in the midi monitor, it should transmit the PC change messages.

I think the system exclusive stuff was from the CME program being open, I should have closed it. It's normal messages now (this is a different preset with a few CC's added); still not working over USB though. It works fine and good with DIN, I can work with that easy enough.

I route the MC3 through the CME USB interface so that's what I selected in the midi monitor. If I select MC3, it shows the same messages, PC 48 for channel 1 (HX is on channel 1). In the CME editor, I have the output of the MC3 going to input of HX, but it doesn't change anything on the HX. If I route the MC3 to the midi output instead and use regular midi cables, it works correctly. It seems like a glitch with the HX and the USB interface. I've tried lots of different routings and different usb cables, but still stuck. It's not a big deal, but I'm curious what's going on.

Yes, I've tried setting globals to USB/MIDI and even just USB. The odd thing is if I select USB only, the HX still receives messages through the midi DIN port. What USB host are you using? I have the CME H2MIDI Pro.

Anyone using midi over usb on HX stomp? I can’t get it to work, have midi settings set to USB in the unit, but no luck. Trying to use with a Morningstar MC3. It works with normal DIN midi cable.

Did you figure this out? Wonder if you can add two more stomps by disabling up down.

I'm using the stock cabs. Yes, on each cab I was changing the mic's per snapshot. For example, a 57 on rhythm, ribbon on lead for tone variety etc... The odd behavior was when re-selecting a snapshot (so same mic's and cab settings etc) it was creating the gap. Or with the cab block bypassed, it still glitched. I removed the two mic snapshot assignments and it's smooth now.

When I removed the controller assignments, the gap goes away, so now I need to dig into those. ------- Found the "glitch": using a stereo cab block, having the mic selection on each cab on a snapshot assignment was creating the gap. Even if pressing the same snapshot.

I use a super serial style preset with all the blocks in a row. When pressing the same snapshot that is active (or switching snapshots), I get a short audio gap. If I disable all the blocks, the gap still occurs. When I use a blank preset with default routing, there is no gap. Something to do with the super serial preset is causing the blip. Any other users with a super serial style preset and snapshots run into this?

Yes, I know about the 4 snap/stomp combos. I'm doing a one man band looper thing, so I have more than 4 snapshots that I go to frequently. I suppose maybe someday I can "sacrifice" and work with less... But having a Helix is a "more is more" item! I was just checking since there is all that empty space, maybe the snapshot name could fit in there. The preset name doesn't do me much good personally but I will survive. I can post that on ideascale I suppose. Does the Helix Floor handle this differently? I know it has the option for 10 stomps, LT has 8.

Is there a way to see the name of the snapshot in the display when in stomp mode? Currently it shows the preset and the snap number. If I scroll through the 8 snapshots with the bank buttons, just getting the number instead of the name is a bit tricky. The snapshots are named when I go to Snap mode.

Enjoying all the flexibility Helix LT offers but seem to be stuck on this. Not able to tune guitar and have external looper playing at the same time. Have tried all input and output combinations on the tuner menu. I can get the looper to play if the returns are the tuner input but then I can't tune my guitar from the guitar input. Signal chain is guitar->guitar input-> LT send 1 and 2 -> looper inputs -> looper outputs -> LT return 1 and 2. Maybe there is a workaround with a volume block or something...
