Great discussion. Being able to recall songs via midi (with an associated Preset) will be critical for me (and I suspect others). I may delay purchasing the Stadium until I know this feature has been added. In my small acoustic duo, I use OnSong on an iPad to send PC changes to my devices (BeatBuddy, HX Stomp, and Rc500 looper (backing tracks)) for each/every song. I then use a Morningstar MC8 to control these devices while performing the song. My intent is/was for the Stadium to replace the HX Stomp, RC500, and Morningstar (smaller footprint and less complexity). I go into every gig with a pre-built setlist (in OnSong), but invariably every show is different and we make changes on-the-fly depending on the vibe in the room, audience requests, etc. In those situations, all I need to do is select the song in OnSong, and it loads the beats and/or backing tracks and presets across all my devices - no menu diving, no tap dancing. I get that I could build Setlists (presets) or Playlists (songs) in Stadium, but those don't seem to easily allow for flexibility when ad-hoc set list changes are taking place. The internal Set Lists/Play Lists probably will work fine for larger shows with pre-defined lists that won't likely change. For smaller acts, we're going to need flexibility to call up songs (with associated presets) in a much more flexible manner. Showcase has such promise to help smaller acts add new elements to their shows and I hope Line6 can incorporate features that meet the needs of both large and small acts/performers.

Nevermind, I figured it our. After selecting a set list via the touchscreen, you also need to actually load a preset from that setlist. Once you do that all the scribble strips update to reflect the setlist. I thought I just needed to select the setlist name and the scribble strips would update.

jpdennis, Thanks so much for the tips! I believe I was having issues setting the switch to momentary as was suggested in earlier posts in the Line6 forums, but that may have only applied to an earlier HX firmware. If the algorithms lead others to this post in the future, here are the settings I used for some of the looper commands: - First, look in the RC-5 manual for instructions on how to assign MIDI CC’s on the looper pedal for the various functions. Also check which MIDI channel is assigned to the RX CTL CH - For a function that toggles like RHYTHM P/S or increments like MEMORY INC, use Command Center on the Helix to assign two MIDI commands to a footswitch. In the first command, set the Action parameter to press, Command parameter to CC, MIDI Channel parameter to match the RX CTL CH on the pedal, the CC# parameter to match the function previously set on the looper pedal, and the Value parameter to 127. For the second MIDI command, set the Action parameter to release and the Value parameter to 0. All other parameters are the same in both commands. The footswitch will be latching, so the light will turn on and off on each press by default. - For a function in a list of items like PATTERN, you only need one MIDI command assigned to a footswitch on the Helix. For example, setting the Value parameter to 0 would trigger the Simple Beat 1 pattern, and a Value parameter of 1 would trigger Simple Beat 2. Really happy I got this working, as throwing a Boss pedal in frustration would probably cause some serious damage :)

I presume everyone who supports the idea in this thread has submitted their feature request officially? https://line6.com/company/contact/productfeedback/

This has bee posted before. In summary: 1. when building presets, make sure your overall volume for a blank preset is around the same as the actual preset you are creating to avoid clipping. 2. set up XLR volume to be Mic level and disable the volume knob, so it's fixed. This will go to the FOH and will never change the level, because you don't want to confuse the sound guy by having different volume levels. 3. use the volume knob to only control 1/4" out which is your monitor mix, or in my case which is going to a power amp (Mooer Baby Bomb) into a 12" speaker cab.

I have an EV30 working on my Stadium, and that is the way I did it. Of course, you will have the big dead zone at the heel end that all Boss expression pedals seem to have. My workaround for that is to fix a pad to the base under the heel end, so that it stops the pedal travel where the dead zone starts.

Solving this problem was a big plus.

Don’t know what you mean by this. If your offer involves a fee-for-service transaction be aware that this would violate the Terms of Use in this forum.

I just noticed that myself. Made me realize just how often I was making minor adjustments. Much appreciated!

Then I hope this is something that gets addressed in a future update. As a performer, I cannot be bending down and scrolling through Songs to load them...or clicking the arrow buttons 20 times to get to the 21st song in my list. Being able to recall both Presets and Songs via midi is a must. Or, maybe an option would be to use and Instant Command to load the Song when you recall a Preset? I did see that you create Set list of Songs. Are Song and Present Setlist different? Or, can a Setlist contain both Songs and Presets?

Hello! That’s a great catch—you’ve described exactly what makes “quality of life” updates so impactful. Before, saving a preset would kick you out of your setlist workflow and force you to navigate back, which breaks concentration. Now, staying in the setlist after a tweak means you can keep building and refining without interruption. It’s the kind of subtle change that doesn’t look huge on paper but feels transformative in practice—especially when you’re deep in setlist prep. Line 6 clearly listened to user feedback here. Do you want me to help you turn this into a short, polished post (like for a forum or social media shout‑out) that highlights the fix and your appreciation?

Why is there no option to have the preset BPM persistently displayed above the tap tempo switch like there was in Helix floor? I have looked everything in global settings as well as the same spot in the OG Helix Displays settings. Would love for this to be included in the next update, please!

Here are a few presets from my Modern Metal pack to try. This preset is based off of the Driftwood Purple Nightmare. Must use included custom IR FULL PACK AVAILABLE HERE https://strangeanglesmusic.com/shop/helix HELIX NIGHTMARE DEMO V3.zip
