Helix CV/Exp Out into Footswitch jack of MOTU 828ES

Having connected a 1/4" mono cable to the Foot Switch jack on the MOTU, the instant I plug the other end into the CV/Exp Out of the Helix, it triggers the SPACE bar to start playback in my DAW. But which command should I use in COMMAND CENTRE of the Helix to trigger that? And does the cable have to be stereo or can it be mono? I didn't want to buy a Boss FS5 or FS6 only to find its already possible with Helix.

That sort of footswitch jack won't work with CV. It's just looking for a simple normally open or normally closed switch (not sure which one - MOTU should specify in the manual). You might be able to use the Helix's EXT AMP jack to connect to it, though. What is it you're wanting to trigger?
