From all stats I've seen, this is not the case at all - tablets (that is, all iPads, Android, Surafce devices, etc.) only make up about 4% of the market share, as compared to 45% or more for each computers and mobile phones, and tablets don't seem to be growing market share much at all. iPad sales specifically do keep increasing, so maybe it seems like they are more popular than they are, but overall, tablets in general are still very much a minority in the big picture. Now there could be a higher % of MUSIC users on iPads vs computers, but I doubt that is anywhere near 50%. So, statistically, if you had to choose to serve just one platform, Mac & Windows computers is the one to serve. Now, that's not to say I would not love an iPad editor version myself! But I can see why Line 6 focuses on the computer platform for the initial focus. I would not find a phone-based editor very useful (screen too small), but I suppose if Line 6 did a tablet editor, they'd be able to also have it work on Apple/Android phones too.

Looks like this issue is now fixed with the new Helix Native 1.01 version. Also, Mixcraft adressed some Helix Native automation issues with their latest Mixcraft 8.1 (build 407). If you get both these updated versions all should be good!

Helix Native's Preset Library includes 8 Setlists, and as you mention, 5 of them are empty and available for your own presets. You can also overwrite any of the presets within the Factory 1, Factory 2 or Templates setlists if you like. Note that you can also backup each Setlist by using the Export Setlist feature in the plug-in's Preset panel. So, if you need more storage, you can Export one of your full Setlists, which copies it to your hard drive. Then you can clear out the Setlist that you backed up and fill it up again, creating a new Setlist. You can still have only 8 Setlists within the Library at one time, but at least this way you can Import any Setlist that you Exported to use it. Or, Note that you can also use the File > Save To Disc feature (from the FILE menu at the top of the Signal Flow) and this saves your current Signal Flow tone as an individual preset to your hard drive (and not within the plug-in's Preset Library). You can save as many presets as you like this way, and then just use File > Open From Disk to load any of these saved presets. You can organize these presets however you like on your hard drive. Hope that helps!

I believe the Triple Play app only supports VST2 and not VST3. So, if you want to use Helix Native in Triple Play, you need to check the box for the Helix Native VST2 during your Helix Native plug-in installation (VST2 is not checked by default). If installing on Windows, you'll also be prompted where you want the Helix Native VST2 to be installed - you'll need to be sure to define a folder for this, and then be sure Triple Play is configured to scan that VST2 folder so it will find it when it does its VST plug-in scan. Also note that Helix Native will also only run in a 64-bit host, so you also need to be using the 64-bit version of Triple Play. Hope that helps!
