Hennum82 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi. Will the Helix Pedalboard be compatible with other products, such as the Kemper or Axe FX? I want the Helix and the Axe FX side by side in my rack, and as far as I can tell, the Helix footcontroller is the perfect way to control presets in a live situation.

phil_m Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Well, if you have the Helix rack, yes, you could use the foot controller to control the Axe FX. But really what you'd be doing is controlling the Helix and then controlling the Axe FX through the Helix. All of the MIDI programming lives in the Helix itself. The floorboard is just a "dumb" controller that is depending on the rack unit itself to do what it needs to do. It doesn't have any function as a standalone controller.

TheRealZap Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Phil is correct... i would further clarify that the foot controller will not have midi ports to directly interact with any other gear without the Helix Rack in the middle.

Hennum82 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Is it an rj45 connector on the Helix? I believe the Axe FX has the same connector. Maybe I can bribe Fractal into expanding the Axe Fx to support the Helix floor board :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 That would be interesting to see! i do believe it is an RJ45 connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
