movable Helix rack for rehearsals

Hello everyone, 
I'm sorry to create a new topic for this but I would like to have opinions.
I would like a version of the helix rack but more easily movable to facilitate my rehearsals = not having to move my 6U rack except for concerts; what would be the best material? The goal is that I can load the settings of my helix rack (compatibility) and have the same ability to choose them in rehearsals.

To add that the "only" unit that's 100% compatible is the Floor IF you have any presets depending on inputs that the LT doesn't have (for instance the "Mic" input).

 

If its Guitar In, Send1/Return1, etc, yes you can use the LT as it's more portable and lighter.

So, what if I want to use Midi controls ?

 

Ultimately, I would like to be able to control the helix rack (or pedalboard) via Midi commandes during a song from Cubase or other musical engine... (besides, if you have any topics or tutoriales on this, i would like to be guided).

 

Thank you in advance for your answers,

Hi,

 

All the Helix products have MIDI ports for IN, OUT/THRU. MIDI control is not extensive, but it does function for most situations.

 

Having said that, you have confused me by now adding a question about MIDI control from a DAW such as ”Cubase or other musical engine... ”. 
 

If you have a Helix Rack that you want to use in a live situation, but also require MIDI control from a DAW, then why not simply use Helix Native. If you are a registered owner of a Helix Rack, then you should be eligible for a discount on Helix Native, (you may need to verify that).

 

Knowing exactly what you want to achieve with what equipment in what situation would be a very big help. Plus, as it is 5 months since you original post - how important is this?

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Split your 6 space into two rolling rack 3space units.  Put rack Helix in one and outboard gear in other.

They would be stackable and minimal wiring to do when using the full system

Would be easy to move for rehearsals. 

I do this with my guitar/synth rig.  works great and rolling rack means minimal lifting.
