Behringer XR18 Midi Control

A quick video on how I control the XR18’s mute function via midi from the Line6 Helix effects system / foot controller.

I never thought about using a midi pedal with it. Genius!

Absolutely Brilliant Steve Thanks!!! I have both the XR18 and the Helix, so exactly what I was looking for, as I want to mute the FOH, so the band members can talk to each other via mics and in-ears on stage without audience hearing.

Steve, This is a great video showing how simple it can be to setup MIDI control from the Helix to XR18. I have the Helix and MR18, so this will be very useful to me. Now I'm think of how I could use Helix foot switches to trigger notes or chords on my Yamaha synthesizer. Thank you for sharing!

Very useful video! Defo explains exactly what I would like to be able to do with the mr18 and boss es5 switcher!

Great video. I have the XR 18 and A few years ago I decided to connect midi pedals for recording and controlling my iPad for song trigger and page turning. I’d moved away from it but now using the BEATBUDDY and other singular devices looking to do some recording a live stage performance. The ability to isolate things and doing the click track as well as stopping, starting and muting and unmuting channels is what I’m thinking for live stage with acoustic microphones. I do not have a looper control box nor have I seen 1 the works with both 1/4 inch and XLR combine. This will allow me to on the fly hands free control on or off the channels in and out of the XR & Aeros with designated inputs. This avoids having to use 2 mixers as well.

Thank you. Super useful. A band I do sound for is planning on getting one and now I can use MIDI with it as well.

Love the vid thinking of getting a mr18 Midas and would like to control it with my boss es5! Would be very handy as it’s only a 3 piece band and having control of desk Fx via a foot switch would be great!

This is great but what are the midi settings on the xr18?

[AndyGeroldMusic]

Any idea why the midi out of the xr18 isn't changing my pedal? I have logic sending midi messages thru the xr18 and it's not working. I've literally tried everything so maybe there's something I'm missing that isn't obvious?

[dougiemunro]

Just came across this Steve and just what I was looking for, THANK YOU!
Would you happen to know how I can mute the FX with the helix? Don't know the Cc numbers or if it can be done.

[rhyswarden]

Such a useful video! Thanks very much.. 👍🏼😁

I have a question and I'm hoping somebody who frequents this video might find it and be able to answer it.
Does the Behringer XR18 incorporate any function for midi timecode MTC?
I'm wondering if there is a way that I can output or input which means I could cross convert to SMPTE LTC timecode in some fashion. My alternative is to just eat a channel.

Great video any other way muting effects tho, if you havnt got a helix peddle-board, thnx

[alexc]

Is there a way to simultaneously mute one effect, while unmuting another? Say you have two different delays and wanted to swap them at some point in a performance.

[evilevon]

Seriously, thank you for this video! This exactly what I was looking for! Do you have any other cool ideas for the mixer? Do you think it's still worth getting in 2022?

[jeffmilkey]

Pretty good but I want to change scenes with midi control. I understand you can store 64 scenes...but how do you change them? Thanks.

[andrem.musiek]

Hey Steve, do you think it's possible to get XR18 delay FX tap tempo from my Line6 HD500x?

[marcreevesmusic]

How have you managed to get ethernet working on the amazon fire tablet? I thought they didn't have any drivers for ethernet on the Fire OS so ethernet to usb adapters didn't work.

[chelocastaco]

what is the Midi Pedal precise model and brand?, please..

[simpsonwykewane]

Steve are you setting the XR18 Midi setings to anything? e.g. USB - MIDI Pass Thru in the settings menu? or is it just a straight plug in of the foot controller?
