guitarnstuff Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I am considering making a routing change on my rig but I am not sure if it is possible. I am hoping that someone out there might know. Currently, I have the Helix, TriplePlay Midi, and softsynths running via Apple Mainstage. I use the Helix as a audio output interface for Apple Mainstage. So current the signal coming out of my 1/4 in and XLR outputs is Helix guitar sounds plus softsynths (i.e. organs, pads, etc). This are blended together so that soundman can't mix them at different volumes, thus I have to do it all from stage. I would like to instead have the Helix guitar sounds come out of one set of output (1/4) and the softsynths come out of a different output (such as a pair of effect sends or the XLR). Thus, the soundman would be able to control the volume of the guitar and the softsynths seperately. I would like this change at the global level. Ideas?

How do you have the Apple Mainstage coming into the Helix (USB, 1/4" return)? For guitar, you need to set your output block on your preset to 1/4". That is not global, it is per preset. If you are coming into Helix with Mainstage on USB 1/2, you set USB 1/2 destination in Global settings to XLR. If you are coming into Helix with Mainstage into 1/4" returns, you will have to set up a dedicated signal path with returns as the input, and XLR as the output in each preset.
