MIDI
NOTE: Helix LT transmits and responds to MIDI messages over USB in the
same manner as via its MIDI connectors. For USB MIDI operation on Windows
computers, it is necessary to download and install the Line 6 Helix ASIO driver,
available from line6.com/software. There is no driver installation necessary for an
Apple Mac computer or iPad or iPhone device.
MIDI Bank/Program Changes
Helix LT responds to traditional MIDI CC and Program change messages from an
external MIDI device (or from MIDI software via USB) and will recall setlists, presets,
and/or snapshots accordingly.

1 FACTORY 1 16B Bottle Message
The dark text above Knob 2 displays the required MIDI messages for recalling setlists,
presets, and/or snapshots from external MIDI devices or software. In the illustration
above, the FACTORY 1 setlist is recalled with a CC32 message of 000, the 16B Bottle
Message preset is recalled with a PC (program change) message of 005, and Snap-
shot 1 is recalled with a CC69 message of 000.
NOTE: When navigating Presets from the Helix LT hardware (PRESETS encoder,
preset footswitches, PRESET / PRESET , etc.), Helix LT automatically trans-
mits a MIDI Program Change message corresponding to the selected preset. If
you'd prefer to not automatically transmit or receive PC messages, turn "Global
Settings > MIDI/Tempo">Knob4(MIDIPCSend/Receive)o.
MIDI CC
Helix LT has reserved specic MIDI CC messages for global functions; these CCs
cannot be used as controllers. If you attempt to learn a CC message reserved for
global functions (see "Controller Assign"), the following dialog appears:
