Yanu91, are you doing this using the four cable method? On the rear of the ht5r mkii, what is the effects level set to (-10dB pushed in or +4dB out position)? If it is pushed in try setting it to the +4dB level setting. jpd

All, the support team just posted back in my ticket concerning this issue as well as the snapshot lockup issue ticket that an update is coming out shortly and for me to be on the lookout to update immediately once released. FYI jpd

vinny_x3, Have you thought about using a verbal cue track for the first measure lead-in into a song? jpd

drexell, I am just now working with Showcase and have to export each track as a stem from Reaper. Once I have up to 8 stem files exported per song I can then import into the Stadium XL per song to use the Matrix for level setting what I want to hear (bass, drums, keyboards, click, cue, etc.). I am still a novice with Showcase so I have yet to get to any big problems. jpd

gavinashun, great question. I believe the instruction state that 32Gb HC (UC 1 or higher speed class) is the minimum to use. There are others members in this forum that have said they have read or heard the Stadium can use a 1TB microSD. I know 512Gb is reported to work in this forum. Here is stapani's comment ... You will have to use the maintenance mode to format the microSD before use according to the manual. jpd

vinny_x3, is this for showcase use or just in general? jpd

gavinlewis, you can try reducing the amp "ripple" setting as well to see if this helps.

Jimbles_81, Are you saying you'd use the XLR out L & R for 2 and 1/4 L & R for 2? If so then enjalt said it best (and I am expanding) - the headphones out would go to your IEM and you'd use the matrix per output (XLR, 1/4, headphones) to level what you want and what you do not want heard per output. Forgive me if I am completely misunderstanding your request. jpd

Forgive me if you've already attempted this. Have you looked into the control permissions in System Settings -> Privacy & Security using the "allow accessories to connect" feature? We used to use this at work for cameras, microphones, etc. so we could limit their use to a specific app. It was a little painful when non-Apple devices had to be allowed for one app and then denied for all others. I do not recall the terminal command, however, I realize you are asking for a "relatively simple workaround". Any high-level Mac experts out there? jpd

I went back and recreated some of the patches from scratch as well as revisited the Vox patches. It seems I can use the default or just slightly below default setting for Ripple now. The AC isn't as pronounced as well. I am going to be away for about two weeks. I'll check this thread once I return just to see if there has been any furhter feedback from you or others. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and 2026 is almost here! jpd

I will be taking a two week hiatus from music starting this week. Hope you all have a great Christmas and a fun filled entrance into 2026. This will be the first year I did not applied for any music jobs during the end of year and first of year since 1967. My present to my family and myself is to be present this whole period. If I do not appear active for the next few weeks I am not being rude. Maybe you all and the Line 6 staff you may read this have a wonderful time this season! jpd

So far I have created two presets to date that trigger this issue. I uploaded the first one to Line 6 support via a ticket I created. They couldn't replicate it with my preset. I do not know if it is a continuation of the DSP issue where I could create a preset that should have been limited to adding FX blocks up to but not beyond the DSP limit of the device. I will reopen the ticket and upload this second preset. jpd

The workspace is saved for me as well when I am working in the user setlists. And the app is now full screen every time I open it. Plus I no longer have to resize the sidebar or the path & FX selection workspace once I set it up.

hairshirt, Line 6, as most other model manufacturers, is attempting to get as accurate a sound as possible. In the Line 6 reveal event for the Stadium they shared many of the latest values they are using for the modeling process. This "rectified 120Hz hum", while extremely accurate, isn't heard on the analog physical amplifier as it can be with the digital representation of the ripple value. I haven't used my FRFR yet. I will be doing that after Christmas by this weekend. Hopefully it gets buried a little more. I will let you know in this thread my findings. jpd

Daddy_Rocker, I have not seen this. I checked and was able to boot to maintenance mode several times. You may have already followed the exact procedure I have. I have the Stadium turned off. I then hold down Home & Song. With those two held down I turn on the Stadium and wait until it boots into maintenance mode before releasing those two buttons. Let me know if you already did this. If so you will need to create a ticket with Line 6 support. https://line6.com/support/tickets/add.html jpd

Yes sir. :-)

I found this from an older thread; Have you done this already? I do not have a pedal to test. However, phil_m is well known in these forums. Also, some have gotten this to work using a TS cable instead of a TRS cable. jpd

qm1pooh, If you've already tried the following, I apologize for any redundancy as you've worked through this. While I do not have a RC-5 to test, I dug through some manuals and a few online videos to be safe due to other stomps I've seen limitations on. First, a thought is to reverse what the RC-5 is expecting; have 0 on push and 127 on release. Also, is the RC-5 set to receive pc, cc or both? So, second, what happens if you change the value to 99 on press and 1 on release, and/or reversing that thought, what happens if you change the value to 1 on press and 99 on release? And determine which device controls sync tempo to be safe Master/Slave: Decide if the Helix or RC-5 will be the tempo master. If RC-5 is Master: Set Helix Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo > Receive MIDI Clock to "MIDI" or "Auto". If Helix is Master: Set the RC-5 to receive MIDI Clock in its settings. Sync Effects: On the Helix, set time-based effects (like delays) to use note values (e.g., 1/4 note, 1/8th) so they snap to the tempo. Please forgive me if you already have the manual, which I have attached in case you do not have the manual for the RC-5. I have watched two videos and included the link to one with insight into setup for the various toggles for cc and pc functions within the RC-5. I am researching one more thing and will revisit this thread later today if I find anything that be of help to you. jpd RC-5_reference_eng02_W.pdf

cchimi, Thanks for your input and analysis of this new feature. It is unacceptable that you would be chastised for asking a question especially since I do not see any disrespect in the posts you've added to date. I haven't yet focused on Showcase because I am rebuilding all my presents from scratch as I slowly go through the manual. After reading and rereading the initial request & replies, plus the insights, from everyone in this thread to make sure I what's being said so far, I may have to fast track my timeline to get to Showcase ASAP. I say this because I can think of a few scenarios from my past work that would fit this need. One is a group were the vocalist would get a request in the second set, as an example, to repeat a real crowd pleaser from the first set or advance one or two from the next two or three sets at that moment: bar band tip jar could even trigger this. Or the vocalist may not be ready to sing a song that looked great in the lineup but at 10:15pm doesn't seem to work for that vocalist. One other is the Friday-Sunday afternoon day time public event a one man band or small band venue that asks for requests for tips. I don't know the math of how many of current Stadium owners this represents though it could really be a great demographic to seek out as the Stadium evolves. And I know it will evolve as everyone keeps sending feedback, suggestions, and bug fix tickets to Line 6 support. This has been proven over the past 15+ years with the original Helix family. Having said that, this thread has pushed me to start attempting to use Showcase sooner rather than later to determine what can and what cannot be accomplished at this time. Thank you all for the push. Never too old to learn more. jpd

Did this happen even with the 1.2 F/W update? If so please create a ticket with support. jpd

Please forgive me if either of you you have already done the following ... and if so, create a ticket on the main line6.com page using the feedback link on the lower left about 2/3rds down ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Have either of you seen the update on the download page when you go there even though you say the download itself is the wrong version? And have you cleared cache in your browser as well as deleted any pointers to the original 1.1 download? And checked compatibility, Let other Mac OS users know by replying. If possible the OP may want to add - Mac iOS to the Topic. jpd

Scroll down about 2/3rds on the line6.com main page and look for the following on the lower left. Click on LEARN MORE.

From Line 6 Ripple—Controls how much AC ripple interacts with your tone. Power amp circuits will sometimes let a little bit of rectified 120Hz hum (that the power supply filter caps can't quite fully remove) into the audio signal when the power supply is being pushed hard. Much like Hum, Ripple provides a bit of non-musical distortion to the power amp at distorted settings. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just to baseline my findings, I use my headphones (open back 250ohm) for initial preset creation and playback. I have been tracking a disturbing "remnant" when playing a hot solo since I started using the Helix Stadium. As I was working on patch from another thread in this forum I tried something that has completely removed the "remnant" (or reduced it to below anything I can now hear). I set the Ripple value for the amp model to the lowest value available (so far either zero or minus 10 based upon the amp model). I haven't tested every amp. Of the ones I use right now only the VOX AC models still retain the annoyance even at the lowest setting for the Ripple value. Again, this is just my ear. You may not hear it as pronounced as I do or you may hear it more pronounced. With all the additional values Line 6 have been using with the new capturing it could be I never noticed it as predominant in the older Helix Floor I had. In fact I normally set Ripple, along with Sag, a few clicks higher than default. And I no longer own the Helix Floor for me to test. I thought I would share if this helps anyone else noticing an annoying remnant to a note as it is sustained and vibrato-ed as well. jpd

Note to all, For clarity and focus it may be best to start a new thread if the topic of the question you have doesn't directly relate to the the OP (original poster) Topic (in this case "Stadium XL update 1.2 problem"). Just a thought. jpd

Dougz51, I haven't tried with the v1.2 yet but with v1.1 on a Windows PC AND installing the ASIO driver after the amp only using the USB-C from the Stadium to the USB-C connection on my PC, playing YouTube vids to play along with works great. I use my headphones for playback. jpd
