HELIX STADIUM MIDI RECIEVE ISSUES

[joeloduca]

Hello All,

Trying to learn how to make a trouble ticket with Line 6 on this, I've done some extensive testing and I know MIDI dangerously too well - I think there is an obvious OS/Firmware issue in MIDI on the helix stadium and this issue did NOT exist in my previous Helix Floor.  I will test my Helix stomp to see if there is a problem there but I am almost convinced there is NOT.

 

I use MIDI controllers on every preset and I like to have multiple MIDI CC's controlling multiple parameters..    IN my opinion, this is a way better alternative to SNAPSHOTS, you can add MIDI control flexibility to EVERY PRESET.  You can also do gain compensation things that are a little harder to pull off on SNAPSHOTs.    Here is an example how I do this: I set MIDI CC #14 to control the DRIVE of an amp. Simple law of physics: when DRIVE GOES UP, VOLUME ***ALSO GOES UP - sometimes SIGNIFICANTLY.  To help compensate and make distortion more "tameable", I set the same CC#14 to control the same amp's LEVEL.  So when we turn up DRIVE/DISTORTION, VOLUME dips a little to try to keep a more consistent overall volume..  Its not perfect, but I think it absolutely awesome to TAME the volume of distortion.  Anyway, when I set up **JUST the drive to MIDI CC14, it works GREAT in the STADIUM with my external MIDI controller (and I have many of them that all do the exact same thing).. The moment I set up a second (of the same CC14) to another parameter (like amp level), MIDI OFTEN STOPS..  -- and by the way, USB MIDI does the exact same problem.

 

anyone know how to get a trouble ticket into Line 6 to work on this in future releases of Firmware?

 

Thanks MUCH!   Joe
