JC-Tonequest Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Until more effects get modeled in Helix I need to keep my M5 on my board for some go to effects I use. Is it possible to control the M5's tempo with the Helix? Ideally, have it linked to the Helix's tap tempo switch somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Yep, just assign the appropriate MIDI CC to the Helix's tap tempo switch in the Command Center. I believe it's #64 from memory, but it's in the M5's manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC-Tonequest Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 This does work, well kinda....the M5 responds to the tap tempo on the Helix but the M5 is about 4 BPM off from the Helix. Any way to get them synced up closer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaeger28 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 If Helix can send MTC Midi Time Code and M5 can receive it, that would be the cleanest way. I guess both should be yes but I leave it up to you to read the manuals and figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guix Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 You mean MIDI Clock master! It would be awesome if the helix could do that... something all midi hardware in the 80s and 90s had but recently not so many does.... http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/midi-clock-sync-quantizing-loops-looper-sync-to-external/740452-23508 If Helix can send MTC Midi Time Code and M5 can receive it, that would be the cleanest way.

jaeger28 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yep sorry I meant Midi Clock. M13 can take MidiClock and I would say any normal Midi enabled gear from the 80s till today can both, send and receive Midi Clock. But Line6 might have fifferent priorities than this 'nerdy stuff' (which IMO is essential for integrating the gear in pro setups) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
