Incubus32 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Recently purchased a Helix floor yesterday and FW version is still 1.03. Shoul I directly upgrade it to 2.30 using the L6 updater? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yes. But make sure to follow the instructions precisely: http://line6.com/support/topic/18284-latest-helix-firmware-230—nov-21-2017/In particular the section that says 'Updating Helix Floor/Rack/LT Running 2.12.2 or LOWER'. On the other hand, you could wait for just a little bit, as there is a new firmware coming, 2.5, very soon, or so I've read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incubus32 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 @Guru Thanks for the quick response mate! I guess will update to 2.30 using the steps in the link. I'm hopeful as well that they would include more filter effects POD HD500x has. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I've been waiting for some of those same filters. Still hoping, especially now, since Line 6 will be releasing an effects only HX product, if the teasers floating around are true. Assuming this new product has the same effects as Helix currently has, and all Helix products (rack/floor/lt/native/hxfx) share the same functionality, minus each device's obvious design constraints, then it will be an effect unit with a very limited filter selection. What effect only unit is complete with limited filters? This makes me think they might start paying attention to this aspect in at least the near future, if not sooner.

CPWilkerson Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Incubus32, Have you had a chance to update your Helix? If so, how did it go? I’ll be doing the same update this weekend, and would like to know what’s in store for me. Thank you, -Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... content/ new features and functions notwithstanding, what you've got in store is 5-8 minutes of waiting, depending on your computer's horsepower and the speed of your internet connection. That's about as exciting as a firmware update gets...;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arislaf Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 All effects of pod hd except vocoder and many many amps, as well as improved sound and scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The lack of excitement during a firmware update, as suggested by cruisinon2, can be decreased by executing it during the threat of a power outage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
