JamzOR Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hey all, I've read some conflicting information in regards to using Helix as a midi controller. I'm hoping to be able to have my Helix patches also switch my Midi controllable amp, between it's three channels. Is anyone running this type of configuration? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksteruk Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I use a H&K switchblade or Marshall JMD for covers band gigs both of which are MIDI switchable. My helix should be delivered tomorrow so I will be able to test it out soon and I'll let you know how i get on. What amp are you using?

roscoe5 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Helix will switch my Randall RM100 via MIDI just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamzOR Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Ok, that's encouraging! Hoping it plays nice with my EVH 5150 I read about Helix only controlling midi through USB connection or something, had me worried... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 If your amp accepts MIDI control data, the Helix can send whatever you want when you select presets. Piece of cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
