Ilsenhab Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hi There, I'm looking into ordering a custom foot controller for Tap Tempo ( cc 64), and three other functions like changing effect block or amp parameters. Beyond what's stated in the manual (pasted below), are there certain Midi CCs I should be targeting or avoiding? I was thinking 40, 41, and 42.Just wanna make sure I get it right the first time. Thanks in advance! MIDI CC# Value Function Pedal and Footswitch Assignments 1 0-127 Emulates EXP 1 Pedal 2 0-127 Emulates EXP 2 Pedal 3 0-127 Emulates EXP 3 Pedal 49 0-127 Emulates Stomp footswitch mode's FS1 50 0-127 Emulates Stomp footswitch mode's FS2 51 0-127 Emulates Stomp footswitch mode's FS3 52 0-127 Emulates Stomp footswitch mode's FS4 53 0-127 Emulates Stomp footswitch mode's FS5 54 0-127 Emulates Stomp footswitch mode's FS7 55 0-127 Emulates Stomp footswitch mode's FS8 56 0-127 Emulates Stomp footswitch mode's FS9 57 0-127 Emulates Stomp footswitch mode's FS10 58 0-127 Emulates Stomp footswitch mode's FS11 59 0-127 Emulates EXP Toe switch Looper Controls 60 0-63: Overdub; 64-127: Record Looper Record/Overdub switch (FS8) 61 0-63: Stop; 64-127: Play Looper Play/Stop switch (FS9) 62 64-127 Looper Play Once switch (FS3) 63 64-127 Looper Undo switch (FS2) 65 0-63: Forward; 64-127: Reverse Looper Forward/Reverse switch (FS11) MIDI CC# Value Function 66 0-63: Full; 64-127: Half Looper Full/Half Speed switch (FS10) 67 0-63: Off; 64-127: On Looper block on/off (if available); also enters/exits Looper footswitch mode Additional Controls 0 0-7 Bank MSB 32 0-7 Bank LSB—Setlist select 64 64-127 Tap Tempo 68 0-127 Tuner screen on/off 69 0-7 Snapshot select 70 0-127 Additional global MIDI commands (reserved for future use) 71 0-127 72 0-127 73 0-127 74 0-127 75 0-127 76 0-127 128 0-63: Oh; 64-127: Nooo Helix achieves self-awareness and starts poking fun of that face you make during the solo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbbaker Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 HI, I think the Tap Temp CC#64 will work since it is a "published" interface. It use to be that Manufacturers would publish a "Midi Implementation Sheet" that would show the MIDI in/outs that were "public" implemented commands. That seems to have gone by the way-side as of late and we only get "Here's what you can do" type lists.If you have a program that can capture MIDI Messages between your control and the PC and display them in a readable (ie. not hexadecimal) format you can most likely reverse engineer most of the commands. Since L6 has their own Editor and are in the process of creating the NATIVE software program, it appears that "All?" the parameters can be controlled with MIDI or MIDI type commands. However, in most cases these are SysEx (System Exclusive) commands and not simple CC# type commands.That means your "controller" would need to send sysex type messages. There are controllers that will do this but the learning curve can be steep unless it has a "MIDI Learn" function. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but you may wish to check out my MIDICONTROLL1 preset template on CUSTOMTONE. It is several pages down at this point but will give you some pointers on how to set up HELIX as a foot controller to send MIDI messages to "RECORD, PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, REWIND using foot-switches 7 through 10 Once NATIVE is out I'll be more likely to dig a little deeper into the MIDI implementation as it should be easier to capture some of the "behind the scenes" MIDI processing. Good luck, Bo Baker . . . listed as Gary Baker on CUSTOMTONE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
