Legendaryk4 Posted November 13, 2024 Share Posted November 13, 2024 Have a few questions and I am hoping someone could shed some light. I have searched and cannot find someone doing something similar. I am attempting to use a Tech 21 Midi Mongoose as an external midi controller with my Helix rack. Simple reasoning is I only need a few switches. I have a single preset I use with 3 snapshots. I got the controller to change presets but cannot get it to change snapshots for the life of me. The other issue I would like is to have the last 2 footswitches be used for the looper. Specifically rec and then play/stop. So long story short from left to right it would be snapshot 1-3, looper record, looper play/stop. Is this possible with this controller? If not then I will have to bite the bullet and just get the helix controller. Was just trying to save space and stage footprint. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

rd2rk Posted November 13, 2024 Share Posted November 13, 2024 All the MIDI Mongoose does is switch presets. You may be able to find chocolate bullets... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benriddell Posted November 13, 2024 Share Posted November 13, 2024 A second hand Morningstar controller will be a cheaper option (maybe even a brand new one) plus it’ll be fully customisable when you decide to add some other switching or function Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
