Using an XY Midi controller to control effects on the Helix

So I am looking to get an XY Midi pad built into my guitar and I want to know if I can use it to control any effects like the Pitch Wham.

 

If someone has done this please share with me some videos or something to show me how it was done. 

 

Much appreciated

Haven't used one a guitar, but they are all about the same. Yes, it will work with Pitch Wham, etc. Pretty basic stuff. You assign (or are given) a CC controller # for the x-axis, one for the y-axis, and one for tap. So first figure out what your pad sends (read the manual, or use a MIDI monitor to see). Then just use the Helix's MIDI Learn function (all described in the manual) to assign which parameters you want to assign to the x and y axis, and what you want to toggle with the tap. Read manuals, they are good for you!
