yep same problem here..i just updated firmware to 1.12 and helix app 1.12 and still same problem hangs at 15% every time i try to export bundle then have to use task manager to kill program because it's no longer responding..people are saying get rid of a bad preset but how are you supposed to figure out which one is bad?

yes i get what you are saying but i'm dealing with a different problem...what i am doing with the global eq is restricting the range of frequencies out of the hd500 that aren't useful to the guitar ie: below approx 80hz and above approx 4-6khz realising that this unit is a full frequency 24 bit device when i narrow the bandwidth like this globally im simulating what a real guitar rig should sound like and it does work for me...distortion instantly sounds smooth with no biting harshness but still cuts through and i can dial up clean sounds with still some shimmer. this may not be 'technically correct' but i've been trying to get this thing sounding good for about 6 years now and as soon as i discovered global eq i'm totally in love with it. Setting up this way now i can set up patches by ear and know that i'm within this frequency range and know they will sound good through headphones OR a p.a. system

I think i have found the answer...i stumbled across a global eq menu (select output mode page 4/12 then goto page 11/12) All the thinness and horrible fizzy sound can be reduced by playing around with 'high cut' and 'high' bands. I set the high cut to 3.6khz and high band i cut 5.4khz by 9db with a 'Q' of 0.5. Instantly my patches became warmer and more realistic hope it works for you as well.
