gabetreiyer Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi everyone, I want to send program changes with data values between 1 to 6 to my Multiwave Distortion pedal in order to choose between six presets, and i don´t know how. Both devices have midi channel 1 already setup, but i can´t go further than that. I´ve been searching all over the web and i found nothing about. If anyone could help will be much apreciated. Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go to Global Settings > Midi/Tempo > Midi Thru > On, and Global Settings > Midi Tempo > Midi PC Tx > Both. Keep in mind the HX Stomp is not a midi controller. It can only pass on either its own program changes (so if you are changing from program 20 to program 21, it's going to pass on to your Multiwave Distortion pedal "PC 21," and there's no changing that) or program changes it receives from an external midi controller. You can't tell it to pass on to a second device "PC 2" unless you are selecting "PC 2" on the Stomp or you have a Midi controller sending to the Stomp "PC 2" which it then will also pass on to your Multiwave Distortion pedal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Also, be aware that the stomp sends PC#s 0-107. If your device recognizes 1-128, then Stomp 0 = device 1. Pass thru values aren't affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to ask, maybe i´m stupid. But, how do you make the hx stomp to send a program change with value 1 or 2 for an instance? Btw, i´m only using the multiwave with midi. Many thanks again for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Preset 01A = PC#000 Preset 01B = PC#001 IF your device recognizes PC#s 000-127, then 01A = PC#000 IF your device recognizes PC#s 001-128 then 01B = PC#001 MOST devices that recognize PC#s 001-128 see PC#000 as PC#001 SOME devices have an offset function to force this. You'll need to RTM for your device to find out about this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, i need to use only the first 6 presets on my HX only to send those program changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONLY MIDI it can send natively are the default PC#s of the Presets. That's 0-107. (36*3-1=107) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 The lack of the Helix Command Center is, if you are a MIDI user, the Stomp's biggest shortfall. Bigger, in my opinion, than the limited number of blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
