Tnx! Yes, you're right ;-) there are more little samples on our other albums of (to some people) recognizable sounds.... I'm always wondering what kind of music we make and the names you called I've never heard from, so I'm definitively going to check them out! tnx Yes, I know all those bands and saw those bands live back in the days, nowadays I play with people who played with them! ;-) So I'm not too young for that, au contraire; I start to think about reincarnation already ;-) Cheers mate! En dankjewel voor t meedenken!

Tnx for your support DataC! It remains a strange thing that 13 pin cable: it was my last option to solve this; the cable is still ok and was ok: normally I don't reverse cables when they are faulty and don't know why I did it now, it was a gut-feeling I guess Ok, back to edits and record some new wonderfull tracks ;-) Check out www.beesandus.bandcamp.com Tnx again! Chris.

Finally! I found it!!! I had these note on/off thing going on all the time, so it was randomly triggering midi-notes and thus unplayable. Even when I unplugged all USB and MIDI cables this was happening (sound out via Maxon) So I figured out that it must be the 13 pin cable going from the Graph Tech Ghost midi guitar to the Axon AX100 (though when pluggin in the USB to the Mac Pro the artefacts were gone and when pluggin into the Mac Book Pro there it is again) (!) (a mystery!) I've been using that cable for decades I guess and without problems...... What I did: I reversed the cable and the artefacts were gone! (the end which was in the Axon, I put in the guitar and what was in the guitar, I plugged in the Axon) The cable made something like a midi-loup I guess, so many weird things were going on...... Chris happy!

Haha! Never knew Catweazle plays guitar! ;-)

And...... you told me you have the MG2 as well and never got it to use well, so here’s your chance ;-)

Sorry my post wasn’t clear enough: the .pdf/hlx file was from the midi guitar 2 forum (there it’s not possible to send .hlx files, over here I obviously didn’t need to do the .pdf conversion) And yes you’re right: it all makes it more confusing.... But for me it made all a bit more clearer (when using midi guitar 2, together with helix one day I’ll know how to choose the best way...... ;-)

Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem :-( When I use my "live-set" (MBP) and even touch the 13-pin cable (from guitar to Axon) there's this cacaphony of midi-sounds/signals! There, the midi-monitor app shows me that these are a lot of midi note on/off from the Helix: more reading is needed I guess...... When I use the "same" (probably not) setup in my studio (Ma Pro), all works flawlesly.......

I think I finally found the culprit: since the Helix is only audible when using the jack/xlr out, I connected the Helix to my DM mixer in my studio just with xlr out to a stereo channel, but since the DM has also several digital connections (firewire/usb/midi) they probably will interfere with each other, but I'll have to check that when I 've made a setup loose from my mixer..... In that case I can check my midi-guitar2 app as wel again, since it had about the same artefacts like decribed earlier. On the forum of midi guitar2 some very helpfull guys sent me a picture and a .hlx file to start from (but it didn't help me then, for obvious reasons above) Here they are: (change the .pdf attachement to .hlx, so it can be transferred here on this site: it could be helpfull to others too ;-) EverySynth C24.pdf

Godverdomme: Haha! Yeah, I've been working with midi since the Atari too (though it was a long time ago I used midi-cables; they were all hooked up and never touched them again) ;-) I sometimes use Logic too, but rather use Cubase since the Atari's; so much easier (for me) connect them with smpte code and 8/16 track tape-recorders, so I can read and write with that DAW...... Recently I also installed Midi Guitar2 from jam origin: another confusing thingy and I missed the easyness of the Maxon Haha! Guess I must give myself more time to sort things out, but not today ;-) though your midi-monitor app could come in handy; I'll definitively check that out! Indeed I think the settings in Cubase must be adapted too, just like my Mac cheesegrater with Mackie controls, controlling my Tascam digital mixer, just like your XTouch! (though the Axon has only midi out/in/trough, no USB) The longer it takes to sort these things out, the happier I am when things have solved and I almost never give up in these cases ;-) To be continued..... Thanks again dataC!

Another thingy...... now that I found out about the Globals on the Helix itself (I have input in Cubase from guitar controller and keyboard) When I use the setup on my Mac pro with Axon AX100 and DM3200 mixer and Cubase11, everything works as supposed: I can switch on/off the synth, adjust volume and switch to another sound on my guitar (Ghost system) (that goes for the soundswitching on the AX: I have a separate stereo out for that; doesn't work for VST's, but volume knob works and synth off/on too) I installed the same setup on my MacBook Pro, but........ odd things are going on, since now I use the Helix as a Cubase controller For example: when I switch off the VST synth on my guitar, all volume faders in Cubase go down to zero (no output) When I switch to another synth on the guitar, Helix chooses another guitar preset When I play a lot of fast tones with a VST, there are a lot of unwanted semi-tones, resulting in a cacaphony of tones and the laptop finally plays randomly tones and makes a song by its own! Haha!) Since, I don't want to change anything on my PC-setup: that works well (don't fix it untill its broken) I guess there's only one or two swithches on the Helix (or probably on the Axxon?) which need to be adjusted Like a midi trough setting or omni, something like that Now I hope, someone says: "ah, that's easy, just change......." But I'm fearing there's something more difficult things going on

Whoah! First thing I noticed is these global settings you pointed me to..... I use my Helix floor with my feet and almost never do something on the Helix-screen and use HX edit for my edits (I thought it was called floor and edit for those reasons) ;-) So I just discovered that there are many more settings on the Helix instead of HX edit! and these globals are not there! Now that I understand that, there's so much (for me) to explore: learned again something today! Tnx again DataC!

Ah, tnx DataC! Yes, indeed, I'm from Holland, but I'll reply in English so that it could be helpfull to others as well I'm gonna try your suggestions and read all about the unofficial Helix midi guide! Cheers mate!

Hi all, After some days trying to figure out how to use the Helix floor as a daw controller on my MBP (Mojave), I hope someone would be so kind to help me with it; it works with audio and playback midi, not recording midi: can't get a controller (midi-out on a keyboard, or midi out from my Axon AX100 guitar controller with a Ghost piezo guitar system) to input a midi-signal The goal is to use it as a easy to use live set to use with my midi-guitar..... So: do I need midi-cables? or is everything transferred trough midi? Do I need another midi (and/or audio) (USB) converter? At my studio it works very well using a Mac Pro 5.1 (upgraded) Mojave/Tascam DM3200 mixer/keyboard/axon: I can do what I want with tracks and inputs/outputs The strange thing is that I have almost the same setup in the studio and with the laptop, but..... the Tascam DM mixer uses firewire for audio in/out and a seperate USB midi in/out on the mixer, also midi in/out/trough (there I connect my keyboard/axon controllers) As I understand all audio and midi goes trough the Helix only by USB, but whatever I try, I can't get my keyboard out to send signals to a VST-instrument..... How do I do that? or is it even possible? Also, I'm from Holland, so English is not my native language: that doesn't make it easier ;-) Thanks in advance! Cheers, Chris.

Hi all, new to this forum and hope someone can help me. I've been using my Tascam DM3200 mixer for years now, but today it stopped it's output..... What I did: I bought a Line6 Helix and wanted that to use as an aggregate input for in Cubase (9.5) The sample rates weren't right (Cubase 44.1/Helix 48) so I figured out that in my Audi/midi config (I'm on a Mac pro early 2008/El Capitan) the sample rates of the Helix couldn't be changed (to 44.1) so for that I had to download the newest driver for it: now that works and I could change it to 44.1 Line6 provide a warning: IMPORTANT! Installing the Helix Mac Driver 1.0.7 precludes using Helix with the class-compliant OS X Core Audio driver. and: If for whatever reason you want to uninstall the Helix Mac Driver: 1. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Library/Extensions. Inside the Extensions folder, you should see an item named "L6Helix.kext." Drag this file to the trash. 2. Empty the trash and restart your computer. Helix will return to using the class-compliant OS X Core Audio driver. Indeed, my Tascam DM stopped working, so I uninstalled the Helix driver, but after that the DM still didn't gave output: I can see the signal coming in on the meterbridge: the led-bars move, and when I play something trough iTunes, it's like I forgot to switch the amp on.......(signal comes in) On my Mac preferences/audio, I can choose internal speakers: that works, the TEAC and Helix are there too, but no sound from them I've red that for the class-compliant OS X Core Audio driver I need the appleHDA.kext in my computer/library/extensions, but it's not there, so I re-installed El Capitan: still not there.... Been trying to figure this out for days now...... What am I missing here? hope someone can help me: cannot play my new Helix now and all my studio songs! Thanks in advance, Chris.
