Using HX Stomp presets in Native - footswitch parameter changes

Recommended Posts

I bought some HX Stomp presets that alter parameters in various blocks when a footswitch is pressed on the Stomp. Is there any way of triggering those changes in Native via midi?

 

I can change snapshots easily enough with my FCB1010 and it would be great if I could get the FCB1010 to act as a Stomp footswitch emulator. 

eg. pressing a pedal on the FCB1010 triggers Helix Native to do the same action that pressing a Stomp footswitch would do, and change the parameters mapped to that footswitch.

I have set a pedal on the FCB to midi CC 49 which equates to Footswitch 1.

Native doesn't respond to FS based messages. You need to use MIDI CC directly set to the parameters you want to control.

Since I don't use Native like this, I tested using Native preset 000 (US Double Nrm) by setting the Amp Drive parameter to CC#102 (what the MIDI controller I have connected to Native on my office PC - HXS - happens to be using in the PLUGINS preset) with a MIN value 0f 3.5 (default) and a MAX value of 6. I set the Feedback parameter of the Tape Delay to the same CC# and MIN value 20% (default) and MAX value to 65%. Works perfectly - lead tone with extra repeats.

 

There's no reason your FCB won't work the same way.

Ok got it.

 

Yeah the crucial part was that I had mislead myself into thinking that I could only assign one midi CC per parameter (which seemed a bit daft - but I didn't actually test my theory :-) )

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

If you haven’t done so already - you might like to have a read through this:-

 

https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afef2673cd2e8a197b/application/pdf/Helix Native Pilot's Guide 3.80 - English .pdf

 

It contains some useful stuff about hardware compatibility with Native.

 

 Hope this helps/makes sense.
