spikey Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 In case you missed this on the Helix page- I re-posted what I wrote there for reference. "I know this is an old thread, and I have followed the instructions to the letter. What's happening is on "both PC+'s, when I plug in the midi cable to the input they freeze up and will not clear until I pull the midi cable and then power cycle the PC+. Yes, I have swapped midi cables, same results. If it's not the cable, and I don't believe that two PC+'s have the exact same issue, and the midi port on Helix was running the Strymon midi just fine, what the heck is going on? I'm scratching the 4 hairs on my head here. Anyone?" Edited: I Figured it out. In Globals, if you have "Send Midi Clock" set to anything but off, as soon as you plug in the midi cable into the PC+ it locks it up, and the only way to unfreeze it I found was to remove the midi cable from the PC+ and power it off and back on. Now, if I can figure out how to make Powercab Edit work with "two" PC+'s at the same time? Both PC+'s are set to different midi channels, but it only seems to like one PC+ at a time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesheim Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I have the same problems using it with my axe fX and MFC-1. Works it I switch presets, but as soon as I move exp.pedals etc it freezes up. I can’t find a way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesheim Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I was able to find a solution.The MFC-101 sends extra midi information on every channel no matter what settings. The solution was to filter out everything except PC messages. I’m doing this with an old Tc G-minor midi controller. It responds to PC changes from my MFC-101 and sends them to the PowerCab plus free of extra midi data. Works perfect, but I guess Line6 should update the firmware so it does not freeze up when it gets extra midi data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Im thinking that once 8.2 hits most things will be updated. I will be using HX edit and using the L6 Link port on Helix to control both PC +'s speaker cabs, mic, etc then. If PC Edit is also updated as well, Then I will redo some audio inputs and outs to allow my Kemper to also use the PC+! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
