Title: Send MIDI Tempo without clock
Post by: ChrisMikolaj on April 29, 2024, 09:01:24 AM
Hey arlo

I just started diving into the world of MIDI as I now finally bought the Line6 Helix. I already found out how to send the MIDI clock, but I'd prefer to only send the tempo once, so I can still override it with the tap tempo on the pedal. Once the MIDI clock is used, I cannot change the tempo.

So I'm currently using the custom midi to send the tap tempo, which results in not 100% the accurate tempo in the end, it's slightly off by 2-3 BPMs, which probably shouldn't be a big issue on stage.

However, is there a way to add a MIDI command to just send the tempo once as the set value?

I hope I explained it understanably :)

Many thanks as always!

The MIDI spec does not include a way to do what you want to do. However, if the Helix has a way to set the tempo from a single incoming message, then you could send that message from a MIDI preset in Set List Maker.
