Midi Designer - change presets and snapshots on Helix Effects

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Line6

I am new on this forum and with MD and I have a problem with my Helix Effects an MD.

I want to change the presets and snapshots on my Helix Effects with MD.
For the presets I made a page with 2 knobs and a couple  buttons.
One knob is the Supercontrol, the other and the buttons are the subcontrols.
For changing the presets in a Helix you have to sent a programchange.
It worked fine. When I tough one of the (radio) buttons the preset in Helix change.

Changing of the snapshots is slightly different, you would sent a control change (69) with the value 000, 001, 002 or 003
I used the same methode, 2 knobs and 4 buttons. 1 knob is the supercontrol, the rest are subcontrols.
When I change the (subcontrol) knob the snapshot in Helix change. When I change the (supercontrol) knob the subcontrol knob and the Helix changes.
So far so good, but when I switch one of the buttons only the supercontrol knob changes. So it didn't work.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks, Bas

even if you're not interested in sharing layouts etc., it might be very cool to see the Helix under control of MD. But most importantly, enjoy!

Answer 1

Two possible setups:

Supercontrol (group buttons) -> Four radio buttons.  The buttons are set with the appropriate CC & midi "on" value.  In supercontrol options, select buttons send on only.

Supercontrol (groups buttons) -> Four radio buttons -> control2.  In this case, control2 is set with the appropriate CC, midi min and max of 0-3.  In this case, the radio buttons have to be scaled to operate control2.  Button 0 = 0, Button 1 = 48, Button 2 = 96, Button 3 = 127.

Thanks jkhiser,

I tried both setups and it worked fine.
