caledoneus Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 So. If I wanted to use the MIDI control of the Helix to trigger Ableton to play some pads on a laptop, what type of cable would I need... I looked for MIDI to USB cables, and there are bunch of different kinds of them, so I'm just not sure which I would need. Do I need one that has 2 MIDI connectors (1 in and 1 out) or just one MIDI connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 As long as MIDI over USB is enabled, you don't need any special cables, just the same USB that you use with HX Edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a setting in the Helix, or on the computer? I've never really messed with MIDI before , so have no idea how to set it up.l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
