I have a Helix rack and a Kemper rack hooked up to the Helix' FX loop. I have no prior experience with using MIDI, other than using a MIDI keyboard with a DAW years back. But everything was setup in such a way that I just plugged it in and played.
So I want to use the Helix to control certain features of the Kemper. I want to be able to use the stomps on the Helix Controller to maybe scroll through rigs on the kemper. I want to see if I can set them up to turn off the "EFFECTS" or "STOMPS" section on the kemper, and possibly to "disable" the kemper so the signal goes through clean. I don't want guides on how to do this, I just want to learn to use MIDI so I can work these things out myself. I've read a little bit in the Helix/Kemper threads, and Helix as a MIDI controller threads, and most of everything goes over my head. I don't know about PC#s and CC#s and MIDI channels and what any of this is. So coming from that I'm asking if anyone can point me in a direction as far as learning MIDI goes. Anyone have a good guide/video/whatever that got you started?
