tboston777 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hello I am running a keith mcmillan soft step as midi in and then midi thru to a boss 505 loop pedal. The soft step is the controller for the looper but I send it through the helix so I can gain the added foot switches in the helix as additional messages to the boss looper. Everything has been going great but today I was working on some things and I pressed button 1 on softstep which is CC1. It seems to be triggering EXP1 for some reason. In other words. I have a volume block in Helix set to EXP1. I go to the patch, turn up EXP1 and volume is good, I go to Softstep and volume goes to zero. I push up the EXP1 pedal to 100 all good. I press the button 1 on Softstep and Volume goes to zero, i hold that button down and volume goes to 100 I let it go and it goes to zero. This is strange and I searched my settings and couldn't find why. I did just update to 2.20 firmware. Is this a known bug? Any ideas on a fix. Temporarily I assigned EXP2 to the volume block and that works for now but makes EXP1 and the looper completely incompatible currently. This was not the case before. Either I changed something without realizing or firmware 2.20 has a bug? Thanks Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 To find the problem you need to connect your THRU MIDI port on the Helix to a computer running a MIDI Monitor (MidiOx if you've got a PC, ??? if you're using a MAC). Step on the SoftStep pedal 1 that you think sends CC1. MidiOx Input Monitor will show all messages received. You probably want to set the display preferences to not display in HEX - Options\Data Display uncheck Monitor Input: Hex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
