IMHO the question is not if Helix was already good before the last major update(s). I really appreciate the constant efforts to make it better involving ideascale, e.g. us ;)

...so it's almost a perfect fit :huh:... Well, question remains if there will come a solution without (the DT Edit) workaround???

People should read 'all the stuff properly' because it's like with computers :P I think that the Line6 Helix crew wrote 'decent' fluently working updates so far - and that's something I call professional...

I still hope that the Helix / Workbench HD compatibility will be implemented soon - and then more / new models to come :rolleyes: ?!

Read(tfinstallinstructions) ;)

...so I think this thread can be highlighted as solved :) :) :)

---------- interlude ----------- I really admire silverhead for posting installation instructions again and again! Please help yourself - and take the heat off him: READ(tfinstallinstructions) ;) IMPORTANT! YOU *MUST* FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALL 2.01! 1. Shut down all Line 6 software as well as any software that streams audio, including, but not limited to: iTunes, Spotify, DAWs, etc. 2. Use your CURRENT EXISTING Helix application to back up all of your presets and IRs (if you want to keep them). If you’re running Helix FW 1.12, your current Helix application version should be 1.12. NOTE: You may want to back up individual Setlists so you can restore them to empty setlists without affecting the new 2.01 factory presets. 3. Quit the CURRENT EXISTING Helix editor application and download and install the NEW Helix editor application (2.01), available here: http://line6.com/software/ This also installs the newest version of Line 6 Updater (1.09). 4. If you’re using Helix Rack with Helix Control, turn off Helix Control. 5. Using the latest Line 6 Updater (1.09), update Helix/Helix Rack to the newest firmware (2.01). At the end of the update process, Helix/Helix Rack will reboot automatically and begin rebuilding presets. Wait for this process to complete. 6. If you’re using Helix Control with Helix Rack, connect and power on Helix Control. The inspector will ask if you want to update its firmware. Press Knob 6 (OK). Wait for the update to finish. YOU MUST RESET GLOBALS AND RESTORE PRESETS, OTHERWISE HELIX 2.01 WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. DO IT. DO IT NOW: 7. To reset globals and restore presets, turn off Helix/Helix Rack. HELIX FLOOR ONLY: While holding footswitches 9 and 10 (middle two switches on the bottom row), turn on Helix. Wait for the message “Will reset Globals and restore stock Presets, Setlists and IRs…†to appear and let go. HELIX RACK ONLY: While holding knobs 5 and 6 below the screen, turn on Helix Rack. Wait for the message “Will reset Globals and restore stock Presets, Setlists and IRs…†to appear and let go. 8. Using the NEW Helix editor application (2.01), restore the user presets you backed up in step 2.

..and about 2700 $ cheaper than http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EcstasyHD20th The sky is not always the limit :lol:

...lot of faffing?? After that major update??? You're kidding, aren't you :P

Compared it with my (US Standard) Strat. Noise appears typically in the single positions with BOTH. JTV a little less noisy (via VDI) ;)

...far too big, indeed...

My observation / experience: Every update process went fluently so far ;)

Good explanation for headroom handling in general! For many recording guys this should be an enlightenment: Don't get 'hot' too soon ;)

...difference between a domina and this Sergeant Major 7th... ...nobody explained, nobody helped :lol:

Even if 'people in this forum get angry with me for writing this': I think that Line6 is very responsive!

Deep insights ;)

Heat... evil that is... And water you should beware of:

Quotation of the day:

Maybe one or two little wishes more: Integration of Workbench HD and DT amp; at least Line6 products...

That's why I posted again 9 long hours later - 9 hours without this discussion. So I conclude: There still is hope :)

Still looking for this major... Only found Sergeant Major, 7th ESB...

To DI: I am - astonished ;)

A dominant ;)
