simmerswitch_ Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 My band is covering Thrice’s ‘Image of The Invisible’ and I thought it would be fun to make the Morse code sequence at the beginning of the song, with my guitar... not a big fan of using samples (nor do I have the equipment to do that). Anyone got any ideas on how I could create the Morse code sequence using the effects available in Helix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got any ideas on how I could create the Morse code sequence using the effects available in Helix? The video's author's(Alberto Martinez Del Rio) recommendation. "The old Morse Tone trick ... You'll need a guitar with the Gibson Les Paul type control setup. Just turn the volume down on one of the knobs and voila ... You got it!" Not sure what blocks to recommend. Maybe a hard gate and a nice bright tone with a little grit. Might not need the gate with the technique used in the video. I think you could probably work something up with the "3 Note Generator" and a momentary switch assignment also. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mritt Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'm away from my Helix at the moment but this is what I would do: Put a volume or gain block at the start your signal path. Set the level as low it will go. Assign the blocks bypass to a footswitch set to momentary so it only activates when you touch the switch. (silence when touching) I hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a thread discussing “stutter” and “killswitch” fx here: Hope this helps/makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
