Helix Control + Axe FXII

[migueledge]

Is it possible? To control an Axe fx via MIDI with Helix control or it is exclusive for Helix Rack. I would like to switch stomps, change presets, change scenes, etc.

 

Thanks.

Helix Control is merely a remote that only works, at this point, with Helix Rack. It does not work with any other product, and imho, it is likely to stay this way forever... with one caveat... I think with that unused USB port on there, it may at some point be possible to use it with Helix Native, but that is far in the future.

 

it is an excellent remote control for the Rack, but I'm sorry, that's all it is.

Just to be clear, are you thinking of buying a Helix Control to control an Axe FXII (in which case Peter's answer is the answer), or do you have a Rack+control, and also want to control an Axe FXII with MIDI commands (which you can do)?

I have a Helix, i love it but delays and reverbs (more used effects for me) are better in AXE FX II. I would like to control axe fx2 via midi with helix control (the best of the helix and the best of ax fx2).

 

Thanks PeterHamm for your reply.

You could control the Axe FX II through the Helix Rack with the Helix Control, but you can't control the Axe FX directly with the Control. As Peter said, it's just a remote for the Helix Rack not a standalone MIDI controller.
