Helix/HX 2.80 Release Notes

The Missed Connections Update

IMPORTANT! 2.80 is the first firmware to utilize the new Helix Core engine, which unifies all Helix and HX products into the same ecosystem. Because there are tons of changes under the hood, presets created in 2.80 will not be compatible with earlier firmware, which means if you want to return to 2.71 for whatever reason, and you didn't back up before updating to 2.80, your presets will NO LONGER WORK. Therefore, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND everyone back up everything BEFORE updating.

Transitioning to Helix Core also forces us to reset your Global Settings, but restoring your backup (STEP 5 below) restores them. No way around that. Just back everything up, okay? Instructions for backing up begin... now.

Updating to 2.80 (READ ME!)

Helix Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT, HX Effects, HX Stomp

STEP 1a—Backing Up Helix/HX Hardware

1. Connect your Helix/HX processor to a Mac or PC via USB and turn it on. Do not use any sort of USB hub.
2. Open YOUR CURRENT VERSION of HX Edit (NOT the new HX Edit 2.80).
3. From the top File menu, select "Create Backup..."
4. Click "Create Backup."

TIP: If you want to load the 2.80 factory presets and hotkey templates, it's better to manually back up individual setlists, so you can later import them into empty setlists. To do this, from the preset library along the left side, select the setlist you want to back up and click "Export." Choose a destination folder and click "Save." Repeat for any other setlists you want to back up.

STEP 1b—Backing Up Helix Native

If you don't currently own Helix Native, skip this step.

1. Open any instance of YOUR CURRENT VERSION of Helix Native (NOT the new Helix Native 1.80) within your DAW and click the "My Account" button in the lower left corner to open the Preferences window.
2. From the General tab, click "Export Bundle."
3. Choose the destination folder and click "Save."

TIP: If you want to load the 2.80 factory presets, it's better to manually back up individual setlists, so you can later import them into empty setlists. To do this, from the preset library along the left side, select the setlist you want to back up and click the small yellow "Export." Choose a destination folder and click "Save." Repeat for any other setlists you want to back up.

STEP 2—Updating HX Edit to 2.80 (YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE UPDATING YOUR HELIX/HX FIRMWARE!)

1. Turn off or disconnect any connected Helix or HX hardware.
2. Log onto line6.com. Once logged in, download the latest version of HX Edit, available here:
   • HX Edit for Max OS X
   • HX Edit for Windows 7, 8, or 10
3. Read the Software License Agreement (hahaahaaa!) and click "Accept and Download."
4. Once the software has downloaded, double-click the installer and follow the prompts.

NOTE: Installing HX Edit 2.80 automatically installs the latest version of Line 6 Updater, which is required to update the firmware.

STEP 3a—Updating Helix Floor/Rack/LT to 2.80 (DO NOT DO THIS UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE UPDATED HX EDIT TO 2.80!)

If you have HX Effects or HX Stomp, skip to STEP 3b below instead.

1. If you have Helix Rack/Control, turn off Helix Control. Also, shut down all Line 6 software or any programs that use audio, like DAWs, iTunes, Spotify, video games, etc.
2. Connect Helix to a Mac or PC via USB (do not use any sort of USB hub) and turn it on.
3. Launch Line 6 Updater. The latest version was automatically installed when you installed HX Edit 2.80 in "STEP 2—Updating HX Edit to 2.80" above.
4. Enter your Line 6 Username and Password and click "Sign In." A big green box appears with a picture of your Helix product. Click the big green box and then click "Update" next to Version: 2.80.
5. Carefully read the instructions (HEY! DID YOU BACK UP FIRST?), click "Continue," and then "Accept." A warning dialog appears, telling you that Helix will be reset twice.
6. Think "Hmm, maybe I should've backed up first? Nah, I insist on subverting the dominant paradigm," and click "OK." Helix begins updating. As wholly expected, because we warned you... because you always read the instructions... halfway through the update process, Line 6 Updater displays a second dialog and Helix's LCD reads "Boot Failure. Entered Update Mode!" THIS IS NORMAL. Breathe deep, everything is fine. You're almost there.
   • 
7. Click "OK" again. When finished, Helix restarts automatically and begins rebuilding your presets. Let it finish.
   • IMPORTANT! This may take some time. If Helix appears to not respond for many minutes, turn Helix off, connect to a different USB port on your computer, and attempt the update again
8. If you have Helix Rack/Control, turn on Helix Control. Helix Rack reads "Helix Control must be updated to work properly. Update now?" Press Knob 6 (OK) to update Helix Control.

NOTE: Updating the firmware does not automatically load any new presets. See "STEP 4—Loading the 2.80 Factory Presets/Templates" below.

STEP 3b—Updating HX Effects/HX Stomp to 2.80  (DO NOT DO THIS UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE UPDATED HX EDIT TO 2.80!)

If you have Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, or Helix LT, follow STEP 3a above instead.

1. Shut down all Line 6 software or any programs that use audio, like DAWs, iTunes, Spotify, video games, etc.
2. Connect your HX processor to a Mac or PC via USB (do not use any sort of USB hub) and turn it on.
3. Launch Line 6 Updater. The latest version was automatically installed when you installed HX Edit 2.80 in "STEP 2—Updating HX Edit to 2.80" above.
4. Enter your Line 6 Username and Password and click "Sign In." A big green box appears with a picture of your HX product. Click the big green box and then click "Update" next to Version: 2.80.
5. Carefully read the instructions (HEY! DID YOU BACK UP FIRST?), click "Continue," and then "Accept." When finished, your HX device restarts automatically.

NOTE: Updating the firmware does not automatically load any new presets. See "STEP 4—Loading the 2.80 Factory Presets/Templates" below.

STEP 4—OPTIONAL: Loading the 2.80 Factory Presets/Templates

IMPORTANT! The following procedure will COMPLETELY ERASE ALL OF YOUR CUSTOM PRESETS! If you want to keep them, make sure you back them up first! (See "STEP 1a—Backing Up Helix/HX Hardware" above.)

1. Turn off your Helix/HX processor.
2. Depending on your type of Helix/HX product, follow the procedure below:
   • Helix Floor/LT—While holding footswitches 7 and 8 (two left-most switches on the bottom row), turn on Helix/Helix LT. Wait for "Will restore stock Presets and Setlists..." and let go
   • Helix Rack/Control—While holding knobs 3 and 4 below the screen, turn on Helix Rack. Wait for "Will reset Presets..." and let go
   • HX Effects—While holding footswitches 5 and 6 (middle two switches on the bottom row), turn on HX Effects. Wait for "Will reset Presets..." and let go
   • HX Stomp—While holding footswitches 1 and 2, turn on HX Stomp. Wait for "Will reset Presets..." to appear on the screen and let go
   • Helix Native—Click the gear icon in the lower left corner to open the Preferences window. From the Presets/IRs tab, click "Restore Factory Setlists"

STEP 5a—OPTIONAL: Restoring Helix/HX Presets, IRs, and Global Settings from a Backup

1. Connect your Helix/HX processor to a Mac or PC via USB (do not use any sort of USB hub) and turn it on.
2. Open the NEW VERSION OF HX Edit 2.80 you installed in "STEP 2—Updating HX Edit to 2.80" above.
3. From the top File menu, select "Restore from Backup."
4. Browse to the backup file and click "Open."

TIP: If you instead exported individual setlists and loaded the 2.80 factory presets/templates (and want to keep them), from the preset list along the left side, select an empty User setlist and then drag the saved setlist file (from the tip in STEP 1) into the preset list

IMPORTANT! You may notice that after restoring from a backup (or loading in previously stored setlists or individual presets) that preset switching times are slower than normal. Restart Helix/HX, and you'll see the display read "Rebuilding preset [XXX]". Wait for it to rebuild your presets, and they will load faster.

STEP 5b—OPTIONAL: Restoring Helix Native from a Backup

If you don't currently own Helix Native, skip this step.

1. Open any instance of Helix Native within your DAW and click the gear icon in the lower left corner to open the Preferences window.
2. From the Presets/IRs tab, click "Import Bundle."
3. Browse to the location chosen in STEP 2 above and click "Open."

Whew! That wasn't too terrible, now was it? What's that... it was? Sorry. Now that Helix Core is finished, hopefully future update procedures will be less... involved.

Hotkeys

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Effects

IMPORTANT! The first time you update Helix/HX to 2.80, your Mac or PC may ask what kind of keyboard you have connected. Just ignore this and close the window.

The Command Center can now send QWERTY hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts with or without modifiers such as Shift, Control, Option/Alt, and Command) to your Mac, PC, or iOS device via USB. You can now control virtually any software ever made, including DAWs, looping software, DJ software, media players, lighting software, video software, browsers, or video games… with your feet... or when assigned to an Instant command, from any preset or snapshot recall.

1. From the Command Center menu, select a footswitch or Instant command and turn Knob 1 (Command) to select “Hotkey.”
2. Turn knobs 2-5 to select the desired keystroke. If the keystroke doesn’t have modifiers, leave knobs 2, 3, and 4 set to “None."

TIP: It's much faster and easier to program keystrokes from HX Edit 2.80. Open the Command Center window, select a footswitch or Instant command, and from the Command pull-down menu, select "Hotkey." Click the small keypad icon and simply enter the keystroke from your computer keyboard. Don't forget to customize the switch label!

NOTE: Just like a normal computer keyboard, hotkeys won't work unless the software or app you want to control is in focus.

Hotkey Templates

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Effects

To get you started with hotkeys, we've provided the following template presets in 2.80:

• Cubase
• Pro Tools (Mac)
• Pro Tools (PC)
• Logic/GarageBand
• Ableton Live (Mac)
• Ableton Live (PC)
• Reaper (Mac)
• Reaper (PC)
• StudioOne
• Cakewalk
• MainStage
• QLab
• YouTube
• iTunes
• Spotify (Mac)
• Spotify (PC)
• Apple Keynote
• First-person shooter video games

Most software has dozens if not hundreds of available hotkeys; feel free to swap ours out with the ones you use the most. With clever choices and a bit of finesse, you may be able to run a recording session (or elaborate live show with lighting and video cues) without ever touching a mouse or keyboard.

Depending on your type of Helix/HX product, follow the procedure below:

• Helix Floor/Rack/LT—Press the PRESET knob, move the joystick left to select the Setlist column, select 8 TEMPLATES, and press the joystick. Hotkey templates begin at 06A
• HX Effects—Press MODE to to select Preset mode and turn the Big Knob. Hotkey templates begin at 16A

NOTE: Updating the firmware does not automatically load any new presets or the hotkey templates; you must manually load them. See "STEP 5—Loading the 2.80 Factory Presets/Templates" above.

Variax String Level

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT

Helix can now remotely adjust the level of individual guitar strings on a connected Shuriken Variax, JTV, or Variax Standard.

TIP: Just like with any amp, cab, or effect parameter, Variax String Level can be quickly assigned to footswitches or Snapshots. "Wait. You mean I can turn off the top three strings for the verse (Snapshot 1) and bring them back in for the chorus (Snapshot 2)? And if the high E is too shrill I can back its volume down to 85%?" Yes. "That's pretty nuts." Yes it is.

1. Select the Input > Multi or Input > Variax block and press PAGE > three times.
2. Turn Knobs 1-6 to adjust each string’s level.
3. If you want to set a particular string's level separately for each snapshot, press and turn the string's knob. The value will turn white and appear in brackets.

NOTE: Assigning a continuous controller (such as an expression pedal or slider on your MIDI controller) is not recommended, as it may result in minor pops and clicks; this is due to limitations in Variax DSP, not Helix.

Powercab Plus Remote

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT

IMPORTANT! You must also update Powercab Plus! It must be running firmware 2.0 or higher.

Helix can now remotely adjust parameters in one or two L6 LINK-connected Powercab 112 Plus or Powercab 212 Plus modeling speaker cabs. When one Powercab Plus 112 is connected via L6 LINK (110-ohm AES/EBU cable), it receives a mono signal from Helix; when one Powercab 212 Plus is connected via L6 LINK, it receives a stereo signal; when two Powercab 112 Plus or 212 Plus amps are daisy-chained via L6 LINK, the first cab in the chain receives the left signal and the second cab receives the right signal.

TIP: Just like with any amp, cab, or effect parameter, Powercab Plus parameters can be quickly assigned to footswitches or Snapshots.

1. Select the Output > Multi or Output > Digital block and press PAGE > once.
2. Turn Knob 1 (Powercab Remote) to select "Per Preset" or "Global." If you don't plan on changing Powercab parameters along with Helix presets, choose "Global."
3. Turn Knob 2 (Powercab Mode) to select the desired type of Powercab mode: Flat, Speaker, or IR. Note that certain parameters will gray out depending on the mode chosen.
4. Turn Knob 4 (Speaker Select) to specify which Powercab you want to control—Powercab 1, Powercab 2, or both Powercabs simultaneously ("1+2 Link"). Normally, you should leave this set to "1+2 Link," which edits both Powercabs simultaneously, to maintain phase coherence. Note that with Powercab 212 Plus, "Powercab 1" targets the left speaker in each (or both) amp(s) and "Powercab 2" targets the right speaker in each (or both) amp(s).

• Flat Voicing—When Powercab Mode is set to "Flat," determines the type of speaker voicing
• Speaker Type—When Powercab Mode is set to "Speaker," determines the current speaker model
• Speaker DI Mic—When Powercab Mode is set to "Speaker," determines the mic model used on Powercab's XLR output(s)
• Spider Mic Dist—When Powercab Mode is set to "Speaker," determines the mic distance used on Powercab's XLR output(s)
• Speaker User IR—When Powercab Mode is set to "User IR," selects the impulse response used
• Speaker Low Cut—Applies a Low Cut filter to Powercab Plus for minimizing low end rumble
• Speaker Hi Cut—Applies a High Cut filter to Powercab Plus for minimizing high end harshness
• Speaker Level—Applies a level trim
• Speaker Color—Lets you choose the LED ring color on any connected Powercab(s)

NOTE: For more information on Powercab Plus, see the Powercab Pilot's Guide.

DT50/DT25 Remote

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Edit

IMPORTANT! Your DT amp must be running firmware 2.0 or higher. Chances are it already is (2.0 was released back in 2012) but if things are wonky, this is the first thing to check.

Helix can now remotely adjust the real tube topology settings and other parameters in one or two L6 LINK-connected DT25 or DT50 amplifiers. When one DT25 or DT50 is connected via L6 LINK (110-ohm AES/EBU cable), it receives a mono signal from Helix; when two DT250 or DT50 amplifiers are daisy-chained via L6 LINK, the first cab in the chain receives the left signal and the second cab receives the right signal.

TIP: Just like with any amp, cab, or effect parameter, DT parameters can be quickly assigned to footswitches or Snapshots.

1. From the Output > Multi or Output > Digital block, press PAGE > three times.
2. Turn Knob 1 (DT 25/50 Remote) to select "Per Preset" or "Global." If you don't plan on changing DT topology settings along with Helix presets, choose "Global."
3. Turn Knob 2 (DT Select) to specify which DT amp you want to control—DT 1, DT 2, or both DT amps simultaneously ("1+2 Link"). Normally, you should leave this set to "1+2 Link," which edits both DT amps simultaneously, to maintain phase coherence.

• DT Channel—When set to Channel A, the DT switches to Channel A and its preamp is bypassed for when using a preamp model in Helix. When set to Channel B, the DT switches to Channel B and its preamp is activated
  • TIP: Assign a stomp footswitch (or snapshots) to simultaneously bypass a Helix preamp block AND switch a connected DT amp to Channel B. This gives you a wider variety of tones in the same preset, without the DSP overhead required to run two simultaneous Preamp blocks
• DT Topology—Changes the DT amp's negative feedback loop topology. Choose "I (Tight)" for behavior reminiscent of the great American Blackface amps of the 60’s, choose "II (Loose)" for dialing in echoes of classic British amps, choose "III (ZNF)" for a very open or dynamic feeling amp, or choose "IV (Resonant)" to add low frequency resonance that pairs well with high gain tones
• DT Power Amp—Sets the DT amp's operating class, wattage, and bias type. Choose "Class A" for more dynamics with greater touch sensitivity; choose "Class AB" for greater headroom and power
• DT Tube Config—Changes the configuration of the DT's power tubes. Chose "Pentode" for clear and commanding tone; choose "Triode" for quieter and rounder sounds with a more vintage feel
• DT Reverb—Turns the DT amp's built-in spring reverb on and off
• DT Rev Mix—Determines the amount of built-in spring reverb
• DT 12AX7 Boost; DT50 only—When Low Volume Mode is off, applies a volume boost
• DT Feedbk Cap; DT50 only—Sets the DT amp's feedback capacitor type
• DT B+ Voltage; DT50 only—Sets the DT amp's phase inverter B+ voltage

NOTE: For more information on DT amps, see the DT25 Pilot's Guide or the DT50 Pilot's Guide.

Snapshot Bypass

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, Helix Native, HX Effects, HX Stomp, HX Edit

There may be situations where you don't want Helix's snapshots to control a particular block's bypass state; that is, you'd prefer to turn it on and off manually. For example, you may want manual control of a boost pedal at any time without worrying whether a particular snapshot might turn it on or off.

Depending on your type of Helix/HX product, follow the procedure below:

• Helix Floor/Rack/LT—Select a processing block, press ACTION, and set Knob 5 (Snapshot Bypass) to "Off" to disable snapshot control of that block's bypass state
• HX Effects—Select a processing block, press ACTION, and press the "Snapshot Bypass" switch to disable snapshot control of that block's bypass state
• HX Stomp—From Edit view, select a processing block, press ACTION, press PAGE >, and set Knob 3 (Snapshot Bypass) to "Off" to disable snapshot control of that block's bypass state
• Helix Native/HX Edit—Right-click (Mac: control-click) on a processing block and uncheck "Snapshot Bypass." Alternatively, right-click (Mac: control-click) the Bypass button to uncheck "Snapshot Bypass."

Hands-free Pedal Edit for Input/Output Blocks

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT

In addition to Amp, Effect, Cab, IR, Split, and Mixer parameters, Input and Output Block parameters can also now be edited with your feet, including the new Variax String Level, Powercab Plus remote, and DT25/DT50 remote parameters.

1. Press and hold MODE to enter Pedal Edit Mode. The switches flash.
2. If necessary, press MORE one or more times to view additional blocks and press the Input 1A (or 1B, 2A, or 2B) or Output 1A (or 1B, 2A, or 2B) footswitch. If the block has more than one page of parameters, press FS8 (<PAGE) or FS9 (PAGE>) until you find the parameter.
3. Press the footswitch displaying the parameter you want to adjust and use an expression pedal to adjust the parameter. For fine adjustment, press FS10 (VALUE–) and FS11 (VALUE+). Hold FS10 (VALUE–) or FS11 (VALUE +) for faster adjustments.
4. When finished, press FS12 (EXIT). If you want to save any changes made to the preset, hold FS12 (EXIT) for two seconds.

Snapshot Reselect

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Effects, HX Stomp

Currently, pressing the currently active Snapshot switch will reload the stored state of that snapshot. With 2.80, you can now choose to instead toggle between it and the previously selected snapshot. For example, if you're on Snapshot 2 and switch to Snapshot 8, pressing the Snapshot 8 footswitch will seamlessly toggle between Snapshot 8 and Snapshot 2.

From the Global Settings > Preferences menu, turn Snapshot Reselect to choose "Reload" or "Toggle Prev." "Reload" remains the default.

Stomp Select

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT (parameter is already in HX Effects and HX Stomp)

Currently, briefly touching a stomp footswitch jumps to select its assigned items' parameters; it's a super fast and simple way to navigate your various amps and effects. For those neanderthals of you who play barefoot, you can disable this functionality from Global Settings > Footswitches > Touch Select. With 2.80, this parameter has now changed to Stomp Select, and lets you choose whether touching a switch, pressing a switch, or both instantly jumps to display the assigned items' parameters.

Depending on your type of Helix/HX product, follow the procedure below:

• Helix Floor/Rack/LT—From the Global Settings > Footswitches menu, turn Knob 1 (Stomp Select) to choose "None," "Touch," "Press," or "Touch+Press." "Touch" remains the default
• HX Effects/HX Stomp—From the Global Settings > Footswitches menu, turn Knob 1 (Stomp Select) to choose "Touch," "Press," or "Both." "Touch" remains the default

Swap Up/Down Switches

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Effects

Some users have requested the ability to press the DOWN switch to select the next bank, preset, or snapshot. With 2.80, Up and Down can be swapped:

From the Global Settings > Footswitches menu, turn [Swap Up/Down] to choose "Off" (normal) or "On" (reversed).

SHORTCUT: Touch (but don't press) the Up and Down switches together for one second, and then press Knob 6 [FS6 on HX Effects] (OK). The up and down switches are now swapped.

Turn Joystick to Select Blocks

Helix Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT

Currently, turning the joystick encoder scrolls through available models for the selected block. With 2.80, you can now choose to instead turn the joystick to quickly move across the signal flow.

From the Global Settings > Preferences menu, turn Knob 5 (Joystick Encoder) to choose "Model" or "Selection." "Model" remains the default.

SHORTCUT: Pressing and turning the joystick will provide the opposite setting; that is, when set to "Model", press and turn the joystick to quickly move across the signal flow. When set to "Selection," press and turn the joystick to scroll through available models for the selected block.

Tempo Indicator

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control

Press TAP/TUNER two or more times to enter a new tempo. The TAP/TUNER scribble strip briefly displays the entered tempo.

SHORTCUT: To fine-tune the tempo, briefly touch the TAP/TUNER switch. The Tempo panel opens. Turn Knob 6 (BPM) to manually set the tempo.

Pedal Position Indicator

Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control
A new Global Settings > Displays > Pedal Position Display parameter lets you determine whether the scribble strip above the expression pedal temporarily displays the expression pedal position ("Temporary") or remains visible ("Persistent").

Move the built-in expression pedal. The EXP scribble strip displays a position indicator (0 ~ 100%).
