roscoe5 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 So with the marriage of Yamaha and Line 6, maybe we can get some Variax and/or Helix synth offspring and give Roland GK some competition in that arena. Wonder if at least Variax can send MIDI notes through Helix MIDI DIN and USB out and drive some hardware or software synths and instruments.

spikey Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Be nice to see something like the Boss SY-300 technology added at some point. That thing is awesome and needs no 13 pin pickup- works with great tracking from a regular guitar input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe5 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Yeah, I saw a Boss SY300 video and immediately pictured it in a Helix loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe5 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 I've just been watching some Roland GK videos since I was considering that Godin LGX-SA with 13 pin GK MIDI out (picked up a JTV instead). Being able to drive synths, instruments and drums with Variax/Helix in the same manner would be great! Not sure if Variax can send the separate notes/data back down the VDI cable. That may be the next-gen stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
