Helix to control Logic X (Backing Tracks) via Midi

Hi everyone!

Got my new Helix and am in the process of setting up my live backing track show using Logic.

So far I've learnt how to make program changes, but I am really struggling to get the Helix to control my Logic session from the Midi Out to Midi In of my interface.

 

I've tried to make custom Key Commands, Control and Meta Events in the Events window, all with the appropriate corresponding foot-switches, but I have no luck, nothings happening so far. I have only managed to set up the Helix to Play and Stop using key commands, but I need each Preset on my Helix to correspond to a song and go to the Play head marker, and the ability to press play and stop for each song.

 

Does anyone here have experience using Logic to control their setlist? Someone save me please !!

Thank you so much!

Since I abhor anything MAC, I've been waiting for the MAC kids to jump in here.

That said, MIDI is MIDI. If the Helix is communicating with LOGIC (you can send a command to control SOMETHING), then if you can be step-by-step VERY specific about what MIDI commands need to be sent and when, I can probably help.
