Hey Dan,

As far as I understand it, the only way to do it is to reflash and don't keep your tones. You need to store a copy of the original patches as a bundle when you first get the unit.

That being said, I just uploaded my copy of the original bundle on the Thread that Nick created in the X3 forum so you can download the original bundle from there.

In fact, for others reading this thread who don't have their HD500 yet, you can load this up into HD500 Edit and have a look at the patches that come with the HD500.

Cheers,

David.

Thanks Dave! I don't know what I did but it just wipped everything! Amazing what I can do when I really try! I got everything back in place now though. I wish you guys were close by cause I'd buy and Nick a beer (maybe 2!).

Thanks again my friend,

Dan

Well Dave/Nick, I thought I was getting the hang of this saving tones but when I tried to send Nicks setlist to my HD500 I some how wipped out setlist 1,2,3,&4. They are not on HD edit or my HD500.

Any suggestions on how I can retrieve them? This really sucks!

Hey Dan,

Glad it's coming together for you. HDEdit definitely has some oddities which I'm sure will get ironed out over time. It is release 1.0 right now so I suspect we'll get an update in the coming weeks. In the meantime all of us have to struggle a little, but man, so far I'm liking this HD500 puppy. I just need to get it plugged into a proper amp or P.A. as I'm currently restricted to headphones and a 30W Acoustic amp.

Enjoy,

David.

Dave, I think I'm beginning to understand the process. Thanks to you and Nick!

Nick, Now its starting to make sense. I don't have the HD500 connected to this laptop because its not the one I use in my music room (where the 500 is right now). I'm in my family room and installed HD Edit on this computer also. So I'm basically practicing getting around the software while watching the Nascar race!

Thanks again for the great bundle and for always being so helpful. Sometimes it just takes a while to sink in!

Dan

1. I downloaded your bundle to my desktop. (Keep in mind that my HD500 is not connected to my computer.)

Hmmm - I'm not sure why that is, but never mind you can still use Edit in off-line mode

2. I opened HD Edit.

Okay so far so good

3. I clicked on the Set Lists tab.

Okay, that's fine to check the contents and to rename the set lists if you wish - but I would open the Amps tab and from the drop down list on the left i would select Set List 5

4. All slots are empty right now.

Okay - that's because the HD500 which is where the presets are stored isn't connected

5. I tried to drag & drop your file into Set list 5. Can't do it.

Nope - you don't do it like that (well I don't LOL), although I think someone said they can drag and drop individual tones You go to the File menu in Edit and select Open Set List and it will open the set list in the currently selected set list slot which should be number 5 as outlined in my answer to 3 above.

6. I was able to get it into Set List 1 but not 5. Why is that?

Because Set List 1 is the default selected set list when you open Edit and you haven't properly selected any other set list as in my answer to 3 above.

7. Its still not saved in that slot. I have tried everything but can't get it to save.

Edit itself doesn't store the presets and relies on being connected to the HD500 from where it retrieves the stored (in the HD500) presets for you to work on. So when you open edit in Offline Mode (no HD500 connected) all the preset slots will be empty. This is normal and expected behaviour

8. When I close HD Edit I lose your file.

No. The file is still there but you must re-load it when Edit is in offline mode, but if the HD500 is connected and you've previously transferred the set list I uploaded for you to the HD500 it is stored in the HD500 and will be saved there. The file on the computer is really a safety backup in case your HD500 gets wiped. With my set list you don't need to re-save it as it already exists UNLESS of course you want to modify the tones it contains.

9. The only way I can get your file into Set List 5 is to highlight the whole SetList 1 and drag it into Setlist 5 but i still can't figure out how to save it.

See answer to 8 above

10. When i close HD 500, all is lost.

You mean when you close HD500 Edit? Yes? See answer to 7 - HD500 Edit doesn't store anything as a default set of presets - the HD500 does and the HD500 must be connected to Edit

11. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

See answers 5 - 10

I hope that clarifies things a little more.

Maybe I'm not understanding the problem, but I think this is what you want:

1) Change out of setlist mopde (choose Amp, Effects, or Mixer). On the left, just above the list of tones, click on the drop-down and select setlist 5

2) Open Nick's Setlist (which is not the same as a bundle)

3) It should now be in setlist 5, so save the entire bundle (that is, all setlists as a group) as your bundle.

Next time you open HD500 edit, they will be gone. HD500 Edit defaults to nothing until you either load a bundle, or plug in an HD500. You need to load (open) your newly saved bundle (not a setlist) and it'll fill in all setlists.

If you were connected to the HD500, you would send the setlist to the HD500. When you connect the HD500 to the computer, HD500 Edit will automatically upload from the HD500 unit.

Hope that helps,

David.

Nick,

I guess I'm having a hard time explaining my problem.

1. I downloaded your bundle to my desktop. (Keep in mind that my HD500 is not conneted to my computer.)

2. I opened HD Edit.

3. I clicked on the Set Lists tab.

4. All slots are empty right now.

5. I tried to drag & drop your file into Set list 5. Can't do it.

6. I was able to get it into Set List 1 but not 5. Why is that?

7. Its still not saved in that slot. I have tried everything but can't get it to save.

8. When I close HD Edit I lose your file.

9. The only way I can get your file into Set List 5 is to highlight the whole SetList 1 and drag it into Setlist 5 but i still can't figure out how to save it.

10. When i close HD 500, all is lost.

11. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

Hi Dan

You can load the Set List in to Edit when the HD500 is off line and you can then save individual presets to your hard drive from that set list if you wish, but Edit itself doesn't start up with any set lists loaded UNLESS the HD500 is connected because Edit automatically retrieves the settings in the HD500.

You don't need to re-save my set list as a set list unless you are making changes to it as what you would get would be the exact same thing.

Nick
