Edgarcacho Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hello Folks, i just can't figure it out how to change snapshots using midi messages with protools!!!! Any Help? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 As far as I can tell, Helix doesn't send Snapshot MIDI automatically. In order to record your snapshot changes, set the first IC for each snapshot to CC#69 and the snapshot #: SS 1 = 0 SS 2 = 1 SS 3 = 2 etc.... Yes, you'd have to do that for every snapshot on every preset that you intend to record. PITA! Sounds like something you might want to request over on Ideascale..... EDIT - this isn't something that I've done (recording MIDI from Helix), nor do I have Protools to try it. I might try it later with Reaper just for kicks. Let us know how it works for you!

rd2rk Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 OK! Just tried it with Reaper, WORKS GREAT! WAY COOL! I learned something new!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Turns out I DO have ProTools First on my box. Now I remember why I forgot - I HATE PROTOOLS! Anyhow, what I described works fine in PoTools also. I suppose I should spend some time to learn ProTools, so I can hang with the cool guys....but I can't use my (many) VSTs (including Native) without jumping through hoops. Besides, I have to do my laundry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMA-don Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I finally have them talking to each other... but I can’t figure out how to change snapshots.. only patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so I spent some more (painful) time with ProTools. First, before I explain how to do this, I need to know what method you're using. Are you creating the events manually in ProTools, or recording your performance MIDI? You can use both, of course, but I'd rather not rewrite the ProTools Manual (horrible P.O.S that it is!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
