I do not think that is possible. Who told you it was? If you take a picture of a Hemi and put it under the hood of your KIA it will NOT go faster!

Catalyst is not FRFR, it is a guitar amp with a simple guitar speaker. In normal use (LT OUT>Catalyst INPUT) the CHANNEL VOLUME controls the volume to both the MASTER VOLUME and the XLR DIRECT OUT. The OUTPUT POWER SWITCH and MASTER VOLUME affect only the Cat's speaker output. IOW - the MASTER VOLUME is used for your stage level. If you change the CHANNEL VOLUME (to FOH via the XLR DIRECT OUT) that will change the Cat's speaker output level and you'll need to use the MASTER VOLUME (which does not affect the XLR DIRECT OUT level) to compensate. When you run the LT into the RETURN in Power Amp Mode, the CHANNEL VOLUME no longer controls the level to the XLR. That level is directly controlled by the LT's OUTPUT LEVEL. The MASTER VOLUME still works as described above. I level my Helix presets on Helix, then leave the Helix OUTPUT LEVEL maxxed (UNITY = 0db boost/cut) and control my stage level with the Cat's MASTER VOLUME. My Helix presets have no cab or IR, I use the Cat's cab emulations for FOH, which are applied to the XLR (and USB if using the Cat as ASIO) out. You can also disable the Cat's cabs and use an external IR box if you so desire. IME, the Cat's cabs/mics sound just fine, so I don't bother with an external IR Box (KISS applies). TBH, if I'm going to FOH I typically just use the Cat's amps and presets and Helix is a pedalboard. While the ability to use a million different amps in a million different presets is fun, the 12 amps in Catalyst provide all I need for live use and levelling 12 presets is a LOT easier than levelling 1028 presets! Again, KISS applies. OTOH, the ability to have 1028 pedalboards is pretty cool too, if a bit overkill... YMMV, especially if you're in a "just like the record" cover band, in which case I feel for ya! If you decide to go for it, get the Cat 100. Helix/LT has great MIDI capabilities which can be used to advantage with the Cat 100's MIDI Input but would require a MIDI HOST to use with the Cat 60 which doesn't have MIDI DIN connectors.

I can't explain the HW interface to you, as I don't have the HXFX. I do know that using CommandCenter in HX Edit is the same for all Helix family devices. Show me your configuration in HX Edit. Here's what it looks like for my HX Stomp.

IDK what that is, but it's NOT the COMMAND CENTER settings. If you don't know what COMMAND CENTER is, that would explain why you're having a problem. Start at page 43 of the HXFX User Manual.

Send a screenshot(s) of the Command Center settings for that preset. It sounds like user error if MIDIMouse thru the HX works.

XLR out is mainly for going live to a PA. For recording to a DAW you can either connect the XLR to your AI or use the built-in ASIO via USB to your computer. If connecting the XLR to your AI be aware that the XLR is LINE Level, so it's a pretty hot signal. Control that level using the Channel Volume, compensating with the MASTER for the amp's speaker output level.

Closed back "metal" combos generally have the speaker section sealed and ported, tuned (interior dimensions/port size) for the specific speaker that they are designed to be used with, with the amp head in its own section. You can try it, of course, but do it in such a way as to not heavily mod the existing cab. You might want to sell it later. FWIW - I don't think it would be worth the effort. I've read on various forums where people have gone on a speaker swapping journey, only to put the original speaker back in. L6 tested many speakers (per the head of the design team) and designed a special speaker that sounded best with all the included amp models. A compromise, at best, but the speaker is not in there because it was the cheapest available. Also, Good Luck finding a 4ohm Celestion V30. Since it's a Class D amp (not tube) an 8ohm would probably work, but it'll cut your output significantly. If you need a hammer, a Leatherman ain't gonna get it. Make the best of what you've got and save up for the right tool for the job. IMO. YMMV, etc.

Sorry, I've just read your initial post more carefully. The BG MIDI1 defaults to MIDI Channel 1. When you disabled MIDI PC Tx, that disabled the default MIDI PC#s associated with the HXFX Presets. So, in the HXFX Command Center you need to set the Footswitches to the PC#s you want to send and to send them on MIDI Channel 1.

And did you do this: Select the combination of Channel, Boost and Reverb you want to store. Press the BOOST switch until the REVERB switch starts blinking. Release the Boost switch. You are now in "MIDI-Learn" mode. Send your MIDI Program Change command to AMP1 ™ within 10 seconds. Your patch is stored when the REVERB switch stops blinking

So, what did the MIDI Monitor show as actually being sent? Is it being sent on the same MIDI Channel that the Amp1 is listening on? Are there any configuration steps on the Amp1 that need to be done besides setting the MIDI Channel?

Do you have this? MIDI1 If you want to build an individual programmable guitar system using the MIDI controller of your choice, you can control AMP1 ™ using the BluGuitar® MIDI1 ™ adapter interface. This turns AMP1 ™ ’s remote port into a MIDI In port. This allows you to recall all of AMP1 ™ ’s switching functions (Clean - Overdrive, Boost Reverb and the overdrive channel selector switch) via MIDI program change commands. Additionally, control change commands CC 007 (2nd MasterVolume), CC 020 (Gain) and CC 030 (PowerSoak) are also received. You put MIDI1 ™ ’s adapter interface’s port into AMP1 ™ ’s REMOTE port: on the opposite end is a 5-pin DIN socket for the MIDI IN. The interface elec tronics are powered by AMP1 ™ , meaning that no extra power supply or cables are required.

This is a user-to-user support forum. Nobody from L6 hangs out here. Based on posts I've seen over on The Gear Page Digital and Modeling Gear forum (where L6 people DO hang out), they're not saying much about it (as is the L6 Way where future plans are concerned), Helix Native will likely stay Helix-centric. If a new Native-like plugin is created, it will likely be Stadium-centric. As of now, that's all anybody thinks they know. Sign up on TGP or follow in the various Facebook and other social media platforms if you want to keep up with the latest Stadium news/speculations.

You're getting the DI recording, you just can't SEE the waveform in Logic. Correct? IDK, as I'm a PC guy. I tested in Reaper, Ableton, Cubase, Studio 1, Cakewalk Sonar and Protools. The only problem I encountered was in ProTools, which simply would not accept signal from USB7 or 8. Not surprised, I HATE ProTools!!! Anyhow, this sounds like a Logic problem. Contact support (Apple?) and see if they can figure it out.

AFAIK, Helix models the effect of the Speaker Impedance Curve (SIC - google it) in the Power Amp section of the model, as that is where it occurs ITRW. There's also an interaction between the Pre and Power amp section modeled that obviously wouldn't occur between your digital pre and a separate analog power section. At least that's my take on it.

Why did you ask for advice if you won't even try the obvious next step???

In case no one replies - Backup your existing presets to your computer. Do the Factory reset. SAVE to your computer whatever originals you want to have access to. Restore your backed up presets. Import whatever originals you want.

That may well be the case. The internet is confused about your CPU's W11 compatibility. I got 2 different answers from Google's AI depending upon the wording of my question. My main music system is an 11th gen i7 and came with Win 11 preinstalled, but it does not have a camera or microphone. I tested OBS on an ancient i5 Win10 laptop with no issues. Good Luck!

Contact support. If it's being caused by the "known issue" they'll take care of it regardless of warranty status.

No, not in MIDI 1.0, which is the current implementation in most HW, SW and controllers. While it is technically possible in MIDI 2.0, it requires both the controller and the HW/SW being controlled to implement the new 2.0 spec in a compatible way. Just as it took many years for the one-way communication in MIDI 1.0 to be widely implemented, it will take many more years for 2.0's 2-way capabilities to be widely implemented.

I found it in that subheading, and mine is the same as yours, so that is not the problem. Check the Catalyst listing in Sound, video and game controllers. I asked some posts back, what processor are you running, but don't see where you answered. Could be that your processor, if not Intel, is not properly compatible. If it is Intel, try updating all of your Intel and other Motherboard drivers. I'm really just throwing spitballs at the wall to see if anything sticks. Since you're using free SW you probably won't get much support from the publisher but that might be your best bet at this point.

What is the Device Manager Path? Device Manager>Sound, video and game controllers>Catalyst 100-112 I don't have a listing for Digital Audio Interface,

Go to the source. Open a support ticket and explain the problem and the results of your trip to the repair center. If you live in the US they'll probably have you send it to them. If not, they'll know what to do.

A couple of things. First, this is a user-to-user support forum. Nobody from L6 hangs out here. Second, the Helix line is approaching EOL. There will be no further MAJOR updates, just bug fixes and maybe a new effect or two. This is per L6 by way of the forums they are active on, such as The Gear Page and Facebook. Third, the LT is the budget model. The full-fat Helix with scribble-strips solves those problems. Lastly, the new flagship line, STADIUM, is on the shelves. IDK if it solves your problem but it's a major step up from Helix and certainly worth looking into. Any new "features" requested by users in the various online forums (other than this one) are likely to be implemented there.

Have you performed all of the recommended optimization steps? Do that. If it doesn't fix the problem, then I don't know what to tell you. Contact Microsoft?
