For item 3, you’re definitely not the only one. Other Stadium XL owners have reported the same problem at outdoor shows and under bright stage lighting. This article summarizes those reports and a few practical things to check: https://helixguitar.com/articles/helix-stadium-xl-scribble-strips-bright-light I haven’t seen a confirmed inverted-color option or fix yet.

I absolutley agree. Have used a Helix Floor since 2018 and that scribble strip brightness is just fine. No clue why they decided to chenge that... I have posted this as feedback at Line6.

I just talked to support he had me skip setup go into global settings turn off wifi date setting and set it to the current date. from global setting go back to account login and every thing worked no problem

Changing to and from alternate tuning on the Variax Acoustic 700: I have my VA7 on my Helix floor through the Variax jack. I’ve learned that I can change the guitar to and from the alternate tuning by sending a sysex command to the Helix. This sequence: F0 00 01 0C 07 01 5E 01 F7 changes from normal tuning (green LED) to alternate tuning (whatever is saved to the instrument) (red LED). This sequence: F0 00 01 0C 07 01 5E 00 F7 changes from alternate tuning (red LED) to normal tuning (green LED). The change is irrespective of model selected. This can be used to switch to altered tuning (or whatever alteration you have saved in the red position for the given model) from apps like Song One, OnSong, and various DAWs and others that can send sysex to MIDI. Thus it can be used programmatically if needed. Channel is not used for sysex, so you don’t need to specify that.
