Using The Blackstar Live Logic to control Helix Native in Pro Tools

In this video I show you how to map all of your Line 6 Helix Native blocks to footswitches on the Blackstar Live Logic MIDI controller. By doing this, you can control your favorite software amps in the same way you'd operate a traditional pedal board.
Thanks to Guitar World and Blackstar for making this video possible.

I just love your videos and attitude “we like to make things difficult around here”

[@galelongputt]

Although at this point I don't use software amps I have a helix floor it's always great to see your informative and intuitive videos. I can put this in the bank for later use. Love you Richie, Hey Steve Sterlacci I see you Bro. Thanks Gale

[@SteveSterlacci]

Great video as always bro! Glad to learn how to use this thing properly 🙃

[@JerryCastaldo_NYC]

Good stuff!

[@robscalise]

Wow though us keyboard players have lots of switches pads and wheels on our controllers, like I have a Arturia KeyLab mkll, max foot momentary and expression is around two. This will allow so such midi control for units like keytars controlling an ipad or computer apps/vst. Via usb midi! Very cool! Thanks for this Richie!

[@galelongputt]

As always I will be carving out a couple of hours for your Sunday Show (MORE COWBELL!)

[@marknotos5358]

Hi Gale....I've been craving to carve out a few Sunday hours for Richie again. Sure do miss the shows. And yes...MORE COWBELL 😄

[@jazzylei143]

Very cool

[@rsvette123]

Awesome Richie now show us how to change snapshots instead :) you rock

[@babloub]

Really cool video Richie! You've really coaxed amazing tones from Helix Native :) I've been using it for a few months now, might look into the Blackstar Live Logic to control it! Btw, what kind of IRs are you using there?

[@RichieCastellano]

I use the OwnHammer Mesa 4x12 IRs

[@marcogatto9742]

Great video! Does helix native sends midi to Midi Controller to set "initial Leds on-off state" in preset or snapshot changes?

[@DopamineOverload]

Thanks for this helpful video! Is there any way to set the MIDI learn global, somehow, so when you change a preset in Helix, that the footswitches still toggle the effect on and off (harmonizer, overdrive, reverb), etc? When a preset is changed, you have to MIDI-learn everything over and over again, even if you return to the first one you learned. Thanks!

Bonjour, Super explications...!!! J'ai une question sur la pédale d'expression: est-ce la pédale de volume Ernie Ball EB6180 VP-JR version 250 KOhm ou bien un autre modèle ?... Merci beaucoup.

I was thinking about buying a HX stomp, Helix or a pod go for recording at the desk, but this is way cheaper + I can keep my regular amp and pedalboard!

[@dmfuentealba]

Hi, bro! Can i use this method with Helix Native and Disaster Area Dpc-5 Gen 3?

[@varunavasthi7576]

Hi . I just bought the Live logic midi foot controller . I'm facing an issue . Whenever I am midi mapping any of the buttons on live logic foot controller to any parameter on the Ableton Live , as soon as I let go of the button on the foot controller , the parameter on Ableton Live turns off. It only stays on till the time I am pressing on the button of the foot controller , even though all the settings on the software are exactly the same as mentioned in almost every tutorial online . Please help

[@grahamhughes2025]

may I ask a question. I am assuming that each button set is specific to that Helix preset, so that when I send it to device that is recorded....on another preset in Helix it will do what I customise it to do.........so they are preset specific and not global across all.......because the blocks will be different....not a huge midi brain....and think I am right but just checkn. Thanks for video too.

[@henrod27]

This will work via midi as well with a helix LT correct ??

[@danielo.m.288]

Ok. What if you skip to another preset, can the bottons be assigned differently?

[@GtrMan863]

I would like to see a Blackstar 3 switch control for HX Stomp

[@purplewound]

How can we arrange the same setup in Logic Pro X?

[@willyravero5812]

can you change preset with that midi?

[@epade]

Richie, do you sell your presets?

[@Jesperadoo]

I can't get it to work in any program I try, be it Ableton Live, REAPER, Neural DSP plugins and BIAS FX 2. Nothing happens, would love some help!

[@jorgeguitar2540]

Did you figured out?

[@nicolasnegron8078]

How can i change preset with midi?

[@alanduncan3710]

So, I want to have my Helix on a piano stand in front of me, I would like to have floor switches and a pedal, I take it I can just run a midi cable from this unit to the Helix? Don't want to have a computer in the system.

[@RichieCastellano]

Yeah, once it’s programmed you no longer need the computer.

[@belgref1]

how to midi control snapshots?

[@naja_molina]

Where i can buy Blackstar Live Logic in MEXICO? :(

[@victorgracia4754]

[@punith.basavaraju]

Is this possible?
