Dave_Mulcahy Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 Hello everyone Anyone got any experience in this area if this is possible. i want to try and use the 8 middle footswitches as an external midi switcher so i can run a DAW that can automate the effect changes on my 3 pedal boards with the helix FX in as a slave device to accept DAW Midi instructions My DAW is Bandlab by cakewalk. Thanks Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmalle Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 It's possible and the Helix is good at it. You can put MIDI messages and computer keyboard strokes (e.g. the enter or space key) on footswitches. Read the Command Center chapter in the manual to learn about the possibilities and how-tos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted February 17, 2024 Share Posted February 17, 2024 If I get what you're trying to do: First, you need to decide which DAW functions you want on which Helix switches. Then you need to have Helix configured for MIDI THRU and Bandlab configured to send the recorded MIDI on the proper channels for each device chained off Helix. I have both Bandlab and Helix, so I can help with the details, but if you want Helix to do anything other than control Bandlab and pass MIDI I'll need details. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
