How to automate Axe Fx/Kemper/Helix patches in Reaper (most efficient way)

  • This is the most efficient way I've found to automate my Axe Fx live. NO MORE TAP DANCING! One thing I forgot to mention was that I like to add the marks for the switches slightly before I want them to switch to compensate for a slight delay when the axe fx has to switch amp models. If it has a very similar chain between switches (i.e. just adding delay or rotary etc) it will have virtually no lag.

    Thanks for this. We use a rack mount interface with 5 separate backing tracks, and just added Kempers to the rack, so we figured we'd try to get the effects changes to work since we're using a DAW on stage anyway.
    And our drummer is also named Zach, so I'm sure that helps too!

    Bumbled upon this, super useful. Would love to see a more detailed vid showing how you put your sets together in reaper and maybe a bit more on how to set up a band with several guitars with their patch changes etc. Good stuff.

    Have you ever shared the presets you use for your band? They are sweet sounding.

    Does it also work via the USB, or is it neccessary to go MIDI OUT interface to MIDI IN axefx?

      Yes it will work the same with USB. You just need to select your device as the MIDI device in reaper

      I did feedback to them using a support ticket so hopefully they fix it at some point.
