When weirdness happens on digital gear, perform a factory reset. Don't forget to back up your presets first!

Kind of defeats the purpose of a modeller doesn’t it?

I've only noticed one impact from Yamaha on Line 6 product development. They discontinued Line 6 products that competed with existing Yamaha products, specifically mixers (Stagescape M20D), PA speakers (Stagesource L2/L3/LS), and guitars (Variax). There's been no Line 6 development of any new products in those domains since Yamaha's purchase of Line 6. Variax JTV, Standard and Shuriken were already in development, profitable, manufactured by Yamaha anyway (except for JTV), and allowed to proceed. Development of Variax ended in 2018 when next-gen Variax was on the drawing board.

TLDR, I just wanted to contribute one little known fact to this: Yamaha bought Line 6 in late 2013.

datacommando, I normally wouldn't chime in without a comment to the OP, but ... both of those are legendary in my realm. The Yamaha Magic Stomp seems to be either unknown by most or just plain underrated. I seem to remember a couple movies that I thought I heard something similar to the Magic Stomp being used. If only ... Thanks for the walk down memory lane

Hi, When your Helix starts to do weird, and unexpected things, then the first thing to try is a Factory Reset. Reset Options Helix Floor/LT Button Combination Description 2 LED light Fun 3 & 4 Test Mode 5 & 6 Global reset 7 & 8 Reset setlists to factory, Keep IRs 8 & 9 Reset setlists to factory, Clear IRs 9 & 10 Reset setlists to factory, Global reset, Clear IRs 10 & 11 Upgrades existing presets to latest format 11 & 12 Clear current preset 5 & 12 Clear setlists, clear IRs, Return system settings to default 6 & 12 Safe boot mode To use Reset Options: Power off the Helix Hold the desired button combination Power on the Helix Release the button combination Please note: Buttons are numbered from top left to bottom right. Also, USB connections can be a world of voodoo and can be very temperamental - never use a USB hub (Note: some USB ports on the front of PCs can act as a hub). Try connecting to a USB port on the rear of the computer, which is more likely to be connected directly to the motherboard. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Wikipedia stuff: In December 2013, it was confirmed that Line 6 was to be bought by Yamaha Corporation
