Everything is slaved off of one master MIDI Clock. This will also help when my guitarist (also a Rack user) is using delays or other time based effects and we will be more in lockstep with one another. The thinking is that while recording, I'll be using a click and can have delays and other time based effects both internally on Rack as well as the delays and loops on Microcosm sync to click. Global Settings: The first thing I wanted to do was be able to control tempo on Helix Rack via Ableton and then send that MIDI clock to Microcosm via Helix Rack. Beyond that I have Microcosm's audio routed into one of the effects loops on Helix Rack and have been experimenting with wet/dry (etc) signal flows. My understanding is that you can also accomplish some of these connections via USB but I've not explored these settings or connections. I then connect another 5 Pin MIDI cable from Helix Rack's Out/Thru to the MIDI input on Microcosm. For my purposes I use 5 Pin MIDI Cable going directly from my audio interface to Helix Rack's MIDI input. What I found easier for me is, rather than using HX Edit on a computer connected to Rack, use the Human Machine Interface (HMI, ie the front panel of Helix Rack) to navigate all the settings and save when you are finished.Ĭonnections I/O: The first thing you'll want to do is fairly obvious.

Helix Rack: Rack and Control 3.0 Owner's Manual - Rev D - English. You'll want a copy of your user manual for both Helix Rack and Microcosm. YMMV and if anyone wants to plug any holes, correct any mistakes and expand I'm game. I'm by no means a MIDI expert and am only scratching the surface here. While this may be intuitive for more seasoned MIDI users, this took a moment for me to wrap my mind around.

Looking over the internet, it's pretty easy to find direction on how to get everything set up but there isn't anything Helix Rack/ Microcosm specific so I thought it would be handy to have all the information I've uncovered in one place to save on time for other Helix/ Microcosm users. Power – 9VDC (center negative), 300mA minimum.I'm relatively new to MIDI and wanted to share some settings and menu dives that I've encountered in my research that got Helix Rackand the Hologram Electronics Microcosm talking to one another seamlessly and behaving the way that I intend it too.MIDI Output – MIDI CCs can be sent out of the MIDI output whenever a knob is turned or a switch is pressed.MIDI Input – Connect to external MIDI controllers.Pre/Post Mode gives you flexible routing, allowing Mobius to be placed in two different locations in your mono signal chain.Signal Routing Switch allows you to choose standard Stereo In/Out operation or Pre/Post Mode.Can also be used for an external tap switch. Expression Pedal Input – Connect to an expression pedal and control any knob or combination of knobs.Acts as Output 2 when the Pre/Post Mode is activated. Right Output – Connect to your amp, mixing board, etc.Acts as a mono output when only one channel is being used. Left Output – Connect to your amp, mixing board, etc.
