Hi folks,
I'm guessing to get a Helix HX instead of a Midi foot controller like FCB1010 and also to get rid of my pedalboard so that I have only one unit for my rack setup and also other amps. But I'm not sure if the Helix can do this thing at once. So here is what I imagine:
1. Have the unit as a pedalboard like stompbox
2. change with a flic of a switch so that all 6 FS are only sending CC or PC via midi to control my amp and my rack FX.
3. When I change into 'Midi Foot Switch' mode all previous sounds with pedals in front should remain and the FS doesn't change anything of the pedals.
4. change back to the stompbox mode by another switch
So in fact the same I can do with a midi foot controller and conventional pedalboard but in one unit.
example:
Helix HX adds univibe and fuzz in front of my rack. I switch over Midi mode and can change presets of my PCM80 and also change Amp channels with a midi control switch. Univibe and fuzz are still present. Then I switch back to the pedalboard and add a tremolo and switch off the univibe.
Possible?? And how can you do this? Thanks!
