Helix 2.8 as computer Keyboard - How do I set it up?

[Metal-Cellista]

I just updated my Helix! Yeiiiii! the new EQ's work great for me and I certainly will use this tools alot. allso the new models will be explored soon. I am a little sad, that signal metering still has not made it into the update...maybe next time;)

But I wondered abbout one feature which was announced on winter NAMM:

 

 

Does somone know how to set this up? i found no tutorial or new manual in the www and i found nothing in the helix menus...maybe I have overlocked something but i would really like to use this feature.

When you updated, did you do the 7+8 reset? That loads the new presets, and there should be templates in the Templates Setlist.

in the command center you can assign every switch to send a keystroke with or without modifiers (ctrl, shift, etc). so you are limited to 10 keys or whatever. it's not "turn it into a keyboard", it's make a switch send a certain keystroke.

Thanks. That's exactly the input I needed. I don't work with MIDI so I my mind completely ignored the command center because of a "general lag of relevance" haha:)
