Can AES / EBU transmit midi to Powercab from Helix floor ?

[Willatr]

I am using a Helix floor with PC 112 plus and controlling the speaker choice with the Helix output block. However, now that I have started using IRs loaded into the PC, I have set up additional presets in the PC, and I would like to load that PC preset with the Helix preset / snapshot. 

 

I believe I can do this if I run MIDI from Helix to PC, but that means a long MIDI cable plus the AES EBU cable. The question is, does the AES EBU transmit these MIDI commands so that I don't need the additional MIDI cable? Or is there another solution to recall Powercab IR presets via Helix without both cables ?

Hi
No, I don’t think midi over L6-Link is working and you can’t change presets that way. Only by an external midi cable.

But you can do most of the things via HX Edit by selecting the output block in your preset, select the Powercab-tab below the path window. Under Mode (preset) select User IR. On the slides below you find one named User IR where you can select the IR of your choice. The IR’s are to be find by position number, no IR names are visible… You can also set hi and lo cut and ring color. In other words, most of the thing that you can set in a PC+ preset/Powercab Edit. But you can not select preset made in PC+.

 

I used to have a separate list with IR names and the position number they were loaded in (also due to that PC+ is not as good as the Helix to auto convert IR's to the specific PC+ format and to many of my IR's were in wrong format). I given that up and only use IR in my Helix instead, when I need to. Nowadays I use the Helix cab’s, so good I don’t need more than a few IR’s. Most of the time run the PC+ as a Flat/FRFR. Sometimes I use it in Flat/LF Raw and no cab/IR in Helix, pretty nice Eminence speaker (Beta-12CX) in the PC+, worh to try.

 

Not an exact answer to you question but…
