Line 6 FBV Express mkii and WIDI Master w/ Ableton 11

Post by dnvschutt » Thu Sep 05, 2024 6:53 pm

Hello-
I'm hoping someone can answer this probably very easy question. I use Ableton to run backing tracks for my band. I use the Line 6 FBV pedal to start/stop and up/down for the tracks in session (clip) mode. I am the guitarist in the band and have a MIDI channel configured in each track to use WIDI master to control my patches on my Line 6 Helix pedal. Everything works perfectly, most of the time.

Sometimes the FBV stops working, sometimes my WIDI control of the Helix stops working too. I can't figure out the cause or correlation. Sometimes one works while the other doesn't. The FBV is set up on cc 20-24. The WIDI on cc 69. Both are on channel 1. Can that be the issue? I don't know MIDI very well, as you might have guessed. When everything works it's fabulous but when it breaks down mid-gig it really becomes frustrating. I would like to do what I can to make the system more bullet proof.

Thanks,

Dave S.
