Powercab to a saved Preset from Helix

[Warmlawpk441]

I am trying to get my Helix to use the setup I have tweaked in Powercab edit but I'm not sure how to tell the Helix that there are more than the basic Powercab settings. I suppose I have to link the Helix edit and Powercab edit but I can't seem to find a way to do that. Any help?

Hmm?

In HX Edit, on the output block you have a tab for adjusting the Powercab setup, BUT be aware it doesn't switch the PC's presets, it just changes the settings (temporarily) within the preset that is selected on the PC, and you'll need to be connected using the L6 Link for it to do that.

If you want the Helix to switch presets on the Powercab, you'll have to do that using MIDI commands down MIDI cables.

Ah I had hoped that the L6 Link would have been enough but thanks for the info.

You're welcome.

I use PCs with the L6 Link.

In my case, I don't have any presets set up on the PC, aside from the stock ones. I went in and adjusted the Global settings on the Powercabs, I do all my 'preset' shenanigans in the Helix.

As far as I remember, you can make all the same changes on the Helix to the PC preset that you can on the PC itself, it's just that those changes are saved in the Helix preset and not on the PC, the downside being that you have to enter those settings every time you make a new Helix preset.

I think, it amounts to doing the same thing as switching Powercab presets via MIDI, except you're just sending info that temporarily edits the selected preset.
