doxasta Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Hi, I'm interested in adding a couple of encoders to my bass and using them to control parameters on my floor Helix using the Variax input. Only I have absolutely no idea how to do this. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm only interested in the control aspect and not the signal path, so no piezo bridges needed.

NoirBass Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Very tricky (unless you’re very good with electronics m) without installing the guts of a Variax into your instrument, or using a Variax bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doxasta Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 I was hoping to find someone good with electronics who might be able to help. To be able to change selected parameters in the Helix from my bass would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoirBass Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 You’re better off exploring MIDI and using expression pedals or an IPad to control individual parameters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
