Munty Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi there. Just to clarify, I'm paraplegic and can't use my feet at all. I guess at a push I could use my elbows or nose for pedals! What do I need to control the Looper block, either 6 or 1 switch varieties? I don't really want to spend loads of money on a floor box that's going end up sitting on my desk and taking up huge amounts of space. I had envisaged the lovely Line 6 people would have put the controls on the buttons of the rack unit, but it appears not. Or am I missing something? I've YouTube the hell out of myself and can't find anything for this. Any ideas? :o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilrahi Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 If you're up for midi control, a standard two switch DMC micro should work wonderfully (https://www.disasterareaamps.com/shop/dmc-micro) You're not wrong though, the buttons are not on the device. The rack is meant to go with the floor attachment, which is a decent chunk of change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verne-Bunsen Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 The Helix looper is pretty basic as far as its functionality goes. If you are looking at investing in hardware to control the looper, you might find your money better spent on a dedicated looper with more functionality. Given your hurdles, a looper that you can arm and have automatically start when you start playing, and overdubs that you can arm and have automatically start when the primary loop repeats, would be most useful. Good luck and let us know how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munty Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thanks folks, all good advice. Changing snapshots without a foot controller is also a complete arse, why it's hidden away where it is I have no idea. But anyway, that's another story!

PeterHamm Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 MIDI control apps for an iPad might really make your day! Sorry, I don't know the details on them, but they are out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
