threetle Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi. I have a feeling I know the answer already but is there any way to change helix patches from within the Daw? I can't seem to find anything dealing with midi channels so I am assuming it hasn't been added yet. If anyone has any luck doing this please let me know.

ppoceiro Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I can do it with Reaper. Not familiar with other DAWs You can probably save states or presets of a plugin with your DAW. Not the Native presets but "general" presets of a plugin. In Reaper I save those presets and I can link MIDI program changes to change those presets/saved states.

threetle Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Thank you for the reply. I was really just wondering if the helix native preset patches could be changed from daw program changes. I am sure it will be coming.

line-6-user Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I too was looking for an answer... specifically changing presets during a song session, not saving a preset in reaper. Say staring a song on preset 01D and after 8 bars changing to User bank 2, preset 05C. How to in Reaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yeah, @mrmojo, exactly how to in Reaper (or any DAW)? You can certainly change Snapshots, but Helix Native hasn't implemented direct MIDI command support (such as preset changes) yet. I expect that feature to come eventually. Until then, Snapshots (and block and parameter changes) are powerful when used to change guitar tones during a song ... you can even change amps via the Snapshot if you design a dual-amp preset. If parameter changes and Snapshots not enough, you may need to use two instances of Helix Native. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipelineaudio1 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 For now, you could save each preset you like AS a preset in REAPER and then use PC changes to change that, though its kind of convoluted and likely would require SWS MIDI to ReaControl Path plugin to do it easily under automation. Inspired by the Helix's snapshot features, I started switching the REAPER Live Pedalboard Project from SWS Live Configs to LBX Stripper, which may have a way to natively automate the presets, I'll ask https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=182233 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gl500 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Can you provide more details on exactly how you set this up I Reaper in the MIDI Editor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipelineaudio1 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Here's the REAPER Project file https://www.dropbox.com/s/uwm2ubqju0e24od/helix pc automation.rpp?dl=0 Hopefully that can explain it better than I do, I'm pretty bad at the reaper midi concepts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolko60 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 They are not actually Program Changes. You can automate Raper FX Preset Changes this way.

l_sap120394 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hey guys, Helix Native now supports sapshots, so, is there a way to change the snapshots using a midi foot controller, but not link it to any MIDI track? I mean, is there a way to use Helix Native, without having a track and select pre-defined presets/snapshots? Could I use it as it was a "helix rack"? I am using Reaper as DAW, but can't figure it out to change presets and/or snapshots... *I am using my HX Effets as midi foot controller in this case...
