guitarzan said:It looks like there is a shared Midi cc message. A CC60 (value} command will trigger the “Overdub" on the Helix. That's also the Midi CC command for bypass on the Syn2. You would need to set the Helix and Syn2 on different midi channels. It's probably easier to put the Syn 2 on a different channel. It's a lot less commands to re-program on your midi footswitch.
guitarzan said:There's a midi switch on the back of the Syn 2 for selecting the midi channel. It's probably set on Omni which receives data from any midi channel. You need to flip that switch to the right and then pick a midi channel like 2 on the rotary dial. You need a small screwdriver for that. After that the Syn 2 will only respond to commands on that channel.
guitarzan said:I watched the video Rich. You're doing all the right things. Seems like maybe you got a bad midi board on the Syn 2. The only other thing I can think of trying is to send a program change(PC) instead of CC. That sends a preset number and that is where the press and hold button on the Syn 2 works. The press and hold doesn't work with CCs. Midi is awesome when it's set up and working like it should. It can be a real dick too. Good luck! I hope maybe the PC will work.
