After reading the manual and using the Stadium' touchscreen, I am finding snapshot creation quite useful. It could be because of the several years of snapshot creation using the Helix floor. There have been moments over the past two weeks or so as I get acquainted with the Stadium. So I step back, re-read the manual in specific areas for clarification and march ahead.

The line is only seen on the touchscreen of the device itself. HTH

I posted the graphic within this forum thread.

rwandering, I went to the main line6 page and click on the "LEARN MORE" in the LINE 6 PRODUCT FEEDBACK" banner which did work for me. jpd

mattsteeves, Here is a screenshot of what you would see. Follow these instructions in the screenshot .. If you do not get the pop-up you will need to check your pop-up settings within your browser settings to make sure you can have the line6.com website be allowed for pop-ups. jpd

lespaulphase90, As silverhead stated you need to use the Helix Stadium XL down of "Helix Stadium. HX-Edit does not work. I've added a screen shot. I was little confused at first myself. You will only connect via Wi-Fi on the same network for creation on the Stadium. You will not use the USB cord for creating presets and setlists for now. If you do need to use the USB cord it would be for updating firmware in a pinch or connecting to your DAW; the reason for the Stadium drivers. I had to use a USB-C to USB-C cord as nothing else would work; and that was after I read the manual. I chose to uninstall everything "old Helix". The software, the HX Edit, the drivers, etc. I even removed the uninstall module(s). Hope this helps. jpd I

I didn't think to ask ... Mac users will have to chime in for that OS, however, I know that Windoze (not a misspelling this time) likes to "control" power settings for many devices, USB, network etc. For my wired and wireless device properties I always make sure I DO NOT allow the computer to turn off the device to save power. Here is an example for my wi-fi device but the same is true for the wired network device. Just in case this helps for those not aware of this setting. For those aware of this setting please forgive me. jpd

PaulTBaker and decreebass, I tried to replicate this and could not when on the Stadium touch screen. I also tried this in the Stadium Desktop App and I am not experiencing your issue. jpd

rlaneve, I watched the following video and am not sure if this is completely off base or might be of help for you. I am not as well versed with the Stadium as Jason or members like silverhead. I am merely reading the manual and using it along with my Stadium as I learn the ins and outs. I am also look in at and for videos like this to help my pea brain learn more. Let me know if what you are needing isn't addressed in the video as a method to meet your needs. If you feel it is a bug please create a ticket. If Line 6 support says it isn't a bug and it is a feature you want to have added in future releases then click on the area at the beginning of this thread labeled "ideascale Retirement" to submit a feature request. jpd

stuming, Are you saying you have a specific setting on a wah block or a gain block which you'd like to have in various presets as you create additional presets over time? Have you tried creating a custom template which you can load with those specific settings and seeing if the settings behave as expected using your custom template as a new preset starting point? I only ask because I was reading somewhere in the manual concerning default exp settings and how they are assigned in a new blank preset. I have yet to fully memorize the manual as I am slowing re-reading as I use the Stadium as a sandbox. Or am I way off base? jpd

bverdon, I had my Stadium connected for almost 8 hours straight the first day. During that time I was rock solid for my connection without any drops. So far I have not experienced this issue. However, I will monitor it. I am using an older Wi-Fi router attached to my ISP's device with the ISP device Wi-Fi disabled. I also have various security features enabled for an extra layer of protection. I've had the Stadium in my office within a few feet of the Wi-Fi and in my music room 30 feet plus or minus away. If I do eventually have any drops I will report back. Otherwise I will stay silent on this thread. jpd

decreebass, I watched your video three times. I am able to create snapshots which do change all the parameters. I have not changed any default global settings. My process is as follows using the WhoWatt103 using the Stadium touch screen and not the app. In my previous test I did use the app however I wanted to use the stadium touch screen this time so I was in the environment you used for the video. 1) Make new preset, name, and save 2) click more button to go to snapshot view 3) click on snapshot one, name Lily with color of my choice 4) open focus view, leave on Lily, save 5) click on snapshot two, name Who Noon and color 6) move focus to Who Noon and save 7) click on snapshot three, name Miles and color 8) move focus to Miles and save And I continued using this methodology for Spirit and Wall. I am not saying you have to name and color the snapshots. What I did not see was whether or not you saved after each snapshot creation. Also, I do not know if you changed the way snapshots react within global settings from the default settings. Am I missing something in your video? Thanks jpd

decreebass, I just returned home from a long night of Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. Thanks for creating the video. Tomorrow morning I am going to repeat the process you showed in your video using the same amp. I feel I am missing something and too tired to think clearly about it. More L8r

I had the same issue for some of my FX blocks and amp settings. I discovered I had to make sure the slider for being enabled on snapshot for those FX blocks and amp settings were slide to the right to be controlled by snapshots.

Yes ! https://www.amazon.com/Ferrite-Clamp/s?k=Ferrite+Clamp

Did you go into global settings -> switch/pedals -> Control (A or C) to match the type of EXP pedal your using? Instead of TRS you might want Tip. Forgive me if you've already done this and it is still not working.

It would be nice to have USB tethering for the app other than updating. Currently I am using the usb tethering via headphones plugged into the Stadium for playback from my DAW and initial matching tones to the songs prior to going FRFR for final adjustments.

Odd, mine didn't overwrite they just kept appending, or I'm misunderstanding. Plus I edited my response with more information based upon my slots NOT being overwritten.

silverhead, yes. Today I created three custom setlists. I added a preset to 1a-1d in each one. I then deleted the setlist and the 12 presets I created were in the USER setlist view. They were created in an empty setlist slot after the 5 I initially created in the USER setlist (1A-2A) which means I had 12 more starting at 2B and so on. I then deleted those 12 as well. For some reason I wasn't thinking about aliasing. Sorry for not being clearer. Also, in the USER setlist I decided to count the number of slots which totaled 512. For clarity, I am using the preset numbering set to 1A-128D. I was a little confused until I noticed something in the lower right where the CC Midi codes are. At the very last slot 128D showed "setlist (CC32):4" "preset (PC): 127" "snapshot (CC69):0. So I decided to go down the list of preset slots and at what I would assume would be preset 129 which is 33A in my case, the screen read "setlist (CC32):2" "preset (PC): 0" "snapshot (CC69):0. It appears the user setlist is a group of 4 sub-setlists containing 128 presets (0-127) each from midi cc perspective. The capability of snapshots, in my mind, doesn't change the preset count by a factor of 8 as snapshots only adds functionality for triggering various combinations of block settings (on/off, value changes, etc.). I no longer have my Helix Floor to check so I used my DAW to view the Helix Native plug-in. I may be mistaken, but it looks like in the helix floor we had two folders for Factory presets, five folders for user presets, and one folder for templates. So, unless I miss the mark, we really only have been reduced in user preset count by 128 over all. Templates are now accessed via the hamburger menu with the New Preset feature and factory presets are locked and currently only have 64 available slots so I do not know if as newer F/W upgrades come out that will stay static in number or increase. So having 512 user presets works for me. And for organization purposes it may be we can have several custom setlists and in each of those we create our presets. The presets will stay in the USER setlist regardless of whether we keep the custom setlist or delete them. To address the OP, this may be better since if you are in 5 bands and need 5 hours of songs without repeat in each group (300 songs at 12 songs per set), they could still be organized a per-band way. Have to go to medical checkups so I won't be back to read further feedback until after 4pm Pacific time. Thanks again for your direction. jpd

If you just quickly touch the tuner switch with your finger (or bare foot like Ronnie Van Zant) it will display along the lower inspection bar on the touch screen. Maybe not the best method if you need it on all the time. But that is a temporary look at the tempo if nothing else

I'll know more by the middle of December as I go through the manual slowly. I will keep you posted. I did discover that when I set up two custom setlists, they each had the same number of preset slots that were unassigned like the USER list. I made some simple and quick presets in each for about a total of 25 in each and then deleted each setlist in a one-two click. Again, I wasn't aware of any aliasing going on. But I am sure more will be revealed as time goes on. I know little at this point.

You can create a new setlist by pressing upper left knob and create a new setlist, name for one band, and then you have a select group of presets for that band. I do not know what the limit is but that is one way to have separate setlists for each band you work with. Once you have your custom setlists created for each band you then have the option to use the Manage Setlists (currently grayed out) to delete whole setlists you create in one click if you'd like. Using silverhead's suggestion to backup for restoration is a great idea if you want to save space, however, I have yet to determine the limit since it appears only saved presets take up any real estate .

I have read the Stadium online manual from beginning to end. I realize it cannot be in download format because of the embedded videos. So, whether that is good news or bad news it is, in my humble opinion, just news. I realized answers to about 80% of the questions so far, including my 60% of questions, are in the manual. There are few typos regarding XL versus no XL but Line 6 may correct them once the non XL ships. I, for one, will be sitting down for about a week going through each step of the manual. The various sub displays on the touch screen make it worth it for me. If I am not back in a week that means I wasn't able to shower after woodshedding and my wife isn't allowing me in the house until I go YMCA and shower there. I can only speak for myself in that, after reading the complete manual and checking the videos, it will be well worth the trouble for me. Wish me luck. jpd

Hope this helps as well - In the list view for amps (not legacy amps) there will be a thin gray line and any amp above is Agora and those below are HX.

I had an issue working with three groups for several years using the Helix. I setup the first 6 presets as "Goto" presets. In other words, each button has a preset assigned to it to "goto" with a "come back to" button on each one for the group that would change it up ever so often on stage. For the by the book setlist groups it was very easy. One button in each setlist just took me to the next song etc. etc. Of course midi is my best solution. Just my type A personality.
