esp901 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hi all. I am new user of the HX Stomp Red Edition. Because I use it only at home (sadly I am no longer guitarist in a band...) I like to control things with my pc-keyboard. Luckily I found a free commandline-midi-tool named https://github.com/gbevin/SendMIDI/releases" sendmidi.exe" from a brilliant dutch guy. My part was only to program a user interface to send the available midi-cc commands to the hx stomp. It works surprisingly well. But try it for yourself. It is completely open source and does not need to be installed. I programmed it with "AutoHotKey". I f you like to improve the code or edit it to your personal needs, feel free to do so : You could decompile the EXE to change things to your personal needs or make it somehow more pretty. Easier is, to open the exe with notepad - at the end of all the cryptic signs you seebthe blank source code, which you can edit now. Preparations: You need the program AND the above mentioned sendmidi.exe both in the same place (I don't bundle both programs - I don't know if the author of sendmidi.exe allows that). Your HX Stomp has to be ON and connected to your Windows-Computer via USB. Normally that's it. If you now start my program, also starts a blank command-line-window. It should show already the place where the two exe-files are located. You can first send the command "sendmidi.exe dev list" to see if your device named "Line 6 HX Stomp" is an available MIDI-Out-Device. As sendmidi.exe does not force you to write the exact devicename, I coded the commands by only "Line". Therefore there is a good chance, that your different device, lets say Line 6 Helix, can also be remote-controlled (at least the few things, that can be changed via midi-cc). And of course: if you like to conrol the builtin looper, the 1switch-looper has to be present in your Patch... One thing I could not manage to script properly is to send the exact bpm-tempo. You can insert e.g. 120 to the edit-field and the result will be a little different. Shame on me. Or you tap your tempo.... By the way: sendmidi is also available for mac and linux. But my script is only for Windows. Have Fun Line6HXStompRemoteV1.1.exe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esp901 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Please report any errors or possible improvements. At the moment I am working on "beauty'ing" the UI. The script-internal style looks quite boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esp901 Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Here is the new version of my remote-software - almost same functions but more "eyecandy". Hope you like it. Extract the "Buttons.zip" folder to the directory, where sendmidi.exe and Line6HXStompRemoteV1.2.exe are present.
