HX one - midi issues

[kerlaga]

I’ve just bought the line 6 HX One and I’m having issues with midi. The controller is a quad cortex.

 

I’ve got the PC changes set up absolutely fine but when I load a new scene in the QC I would like to bypass the HX one and then have the option to manually engage it. CC 1 and 4 only seem to work after changing scene - so I have to double press the button on the QC to get the HX one to bypass.

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! 
 

the firmware is the only that it shipped with so I think it’s 3.7.0

I'm a Helix person, so the following is based on a quick look at the QC manual, which doesn't provide much detail.

 

Looking at the "Preset MIDI Out Settings page it looks like in each SCENE (I assume that's what the numbered tabs are) you'd set:

TYPE = CC

Channel = same as HX1 is set to

CC# = 4

VALUE = 0

 

I assume that if the Preset loads any SCENE it would then cause CC#4 to be sent, BYPASSING HX1.

 

Then, in each SCENE, you would go to the proper FOOTSWITCH page and set the desired FS to toggle 127/0 on CC#4.

I assume that would mean that when you hit the FS it would send CC#4 VALUE 127, turning HX1 ON.

 

If you were using a Helix there would be a raft of other "if this then that" considerations related to behind-the-scenes interactions between the Footswitches and SCENES, but either there aren't any with the QC or NDSP doesn't consider them important enough to waste valuable manual pages on.

 

If you're lucky, someone here in Helix Land who also owns a QC will chime in with actual knowledgeable info. I just figured I'd take a shot, just in case...

 

If you haven't already, I suggest that you post this over on TGP in the Digital and Modeling Forum QC thread.

Hi,

 

The latest version of the Firmware for the HX One is 3.81.0 and it contains some bug fixes and a couple of MIDI enhancements. 
 

I’m a Helix user, so I’m not sure that it addresses the issue you’re having, but it’s always a good idea to use the latest firmware in your unit.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

I totally get the frustration with MIDI issues on the HX One – it’s like trying to hit a jackpot but missing by just a bit! MIDI connectivity should be seamless, like the way smooth gameplay works in online casinos. Speaking of which, if you're looking for a place to try your luck with minimal hassle, https://casinoveri.it/ has a great guide for safe online casino platforms. Hopefully, with some troubleshooting, your HX One will be working perfectly, just like the thrill of a big win!

Thank you so much.
