Qu13tus Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Greetings, I figured out how to get midi guitar working along with a Roland Sound Canvas plugin for old school midi instruments. However, I can hear the guitar tone coming through with the midi instrument tone. How can I pass a signal from my Variax to the Midi Guitar program without any Helix sounds, essentially just using the Helix as a bridge between the guitar and the program? Also, I am looking for recommended tutorials on using the Helix to control software. It would be cool to be able to switch between a custom Helix tone to using a midi instrument and then back again. Thanks! Quietus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjoyce Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Which DAW are you using, or are you using the standalone Jam Origin version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply. I am currently using the stand alone app, though I will experiment with Waveform, Reaper, and maybe a couple of other. I want to solidify my tones and get the JO:MG stand alone set up before I start digging into the DAWs. I have much to learn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk001 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I setup a preset with a y split to either send through amp sim to 1/4"/XLR outs or when engaged directly to USB via a compressor, the sound is then returned via USB out through the Helix In Jam Origin, make sure you have the mix set to fully clockwise so it's just the synth sound with no guitar I can then assign a footswitch to the y split and switch between guitar and synth by having the y split assigned to a switch in Stomp mode in the Helix patch I have the Helix setup as a MIDI controller in Jam Origin's MIDI interface section I can then setup footswitches in Helix Stomp mode to change the patches in Jam Origin and change the Helix Scribble strips to show what sound/patch they will recall Jam origin is set to to scan my VST folder so has access to all plugins to save as patches for recall If you have a DAW then you can just use Jam Origin as a VST plugin and assign the sounds via a DAW If you have an iPhone, you can run Jam Origin straight to the phone and back via USB (with Apple Camera Connection kit) without a computer for live and jam sessions, great fun and totally minimal Here's a link to a brilliant video for setting up with iPhone from a user on TGP Hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will match up the settings form your screenshot and I will watch that video. I am using my main PC and am without an iphone, though I have a small laptop with a touch screen and windows 10 which I will use in a similar way so that I won't have to lug my main rig around, and I saw that I can get Heliox Native super cheap due to having registered my Helix. I am hoping to use the physical Helix with switches when jamming and recording, but use thej touch screen to switch between the synths and Helix sounds when jamming at other places. I have a lot to learn. I have an easier time with physical manuals than I do with PDFs on a screen, so it is taking me longer to learn some things than it did with my Pod XT Live.
