I don't think you can do this on Helix. HXS yes, Helix no.

Check my most recent reply on that thread.

Hmmm... I interpret that response to mean that the LFS2, if the Bank Switch is ON (LED lit) on shutdown, it will switch Banks when rebooted. That implies (to me) that if the switch is OFF (LED NOT lit) that it WOULD NOT switch Banks on reboot. But it switches Banks regardless of the ON/OFF status on shutdown. Did I mention that I use MIDI for Bank/Channel switching? And all other MIDI controllable functions. Tuner does not cause Bank change when using MIDI without the FS connected.

Have you heard back from support?

This appears to be due to a bug in the Helix MIDI implementation. Using a MIDI Controller, I sent both FS (CC#51) and MIDI messages (using CC#4) on separate switches. Despite what the manual says - that the MIDI CCs for the FS will TOGGLE the FS using VALUE 0 (OFF) and 127 (ON), the FS toggles REGARDLESS of the VALUE. When I switched from "FS BYPASS" with CC#51 to "MIDI BYPASS" with CC#4 it worked as expected using VALUES of 0/127. When I created a MIDI track in Reaper and configured it to send the MIDI ON (127) VALUE, it behaved like the FS command, toggling regardless of VALUE. Since Reaper doesn't allow (AFAICT) for both ON and OFF values in the MIDI Event Editor, that would seem to indicate that Reaper sends alternating ON/OFF messages by default (verified with a MIDI MONITOR). Which makes no sense to me, but then, I don't usually do this sort of thing - controlling Helix with MIDI Tracks. In your case, I would switch the FX Loop Blocks to MIDI BYPASS (change SetListMaker accordingly) and if the problem persists get a MIDI Monitor to see what, EXACTLY, is being sent by SetListMaker. I had a VERY QUICK look at the SetListMaker manual and it appears that, like Reaper, it only allows for setting 1 VALUE for CCs. It MAY be behaving like Reaper and Automatically sending alternating ON/OFF Values.

I'm not sure why JS does it that way, but it is completely unnecessary. Input and Output are BOTH Instrument Level. The following is IK Support's reply when I questioned them on this regarding the original ToneX pedal but also applies to the TX1. Of course, you can also ask them to confirm if you want. I use my ToneX in a Helix Loop at INSTRUMENT level and it sounds fine. _________________________________________________________________ Thanks for your patience while we got back to you. TONEX Pedal has an instrument level output with lots of headroom. If it's in bypass state and the MAIN OUT option in the global menu is set to 0dB, what comes in goes out just like in a Boss or any other buffered stompbox when bypassed. Maximum output is +8 dBu when set like this. Raising the MAIN OUT to +3dB, brings it close to +12dBu. We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If you still have any question, interests, or concerns, please reply to this email and an agent will get back to you as soon as possible. Please make sure to reply to this email and do not open another support ticket. Jason W - Technical Support Supervisor IK Multimedia. Musicians First.

USB to DAW should be the same Helix vs HXS. What USB channels are you using? Here's a link to a good articla on DAW recording levels: https://mojosarmy.medium.com/recording-and-mixing-levels-demystified-151ec65705fa

Instead of using the MAIN Outs for both, pull down the MIX Block to create a separate path. Using a shielded TS cable (guitar type cable), take the SEND to the board. In Global Settings>Ins/Outs set SEND/RETURN L to LINE. This allows you separate LEVEL controls at the CAB (+6db) and the SEND (+20db). Example preset attached. Since the SEND is UNBALANCED, you'll likely want to use a DI box if the board is more than 20' away to minimize noise. This one is $15. I have two and they work fine: https://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PDC21-Pyle-Pro-Black/dp/B0027V760M/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3JXPKSJV21KGZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.oosI4dUQ46miDAVf26FUFN36I7jLPYxpQx-RcddKesrEi2yrZS6qyEZp3c-o1478TyC1ZzRAuhrspUicTgyOca_h6Rm6KmWrqbTo3z-Cw6W6vVcY0KbqKpmhqqQ5pJOPTNEpXZG16FbZn5knusC9uWqGfNgAOZedqHdst41oI2tshF0jcCoAAZJmYJNZtYADvkKUUyiSoIQfnQXRqRpZhKzkQYP_ROpX0KLznhFD3HWnzvrM9cf7N8__tj-TV6qbYhTikysEMoPrQgjzZfI6qHmneTnajzU4UvtLYekZcmCmxO1vuUm5VNGHOQWQ51Wq-4K6RWXWSWcqR-v0C_JLL2x_U119gSMkuugo2zDwHqs.xfZ4uwuuEnjgGF07R6xLc2TmqfKy1CrDDI-Lbtn4f0U&dib_tag=se&keywords=di+box&qid=1742407434&s=musical-instruments&sprefix=di+box%2Cmi%2C266&sr=1-2 ScottW.hlx

Press and Hold the MANUAL button. The SELECTOR DIAL LED will DIM. Turn the SELECTOR (amp) dial to the desired BANK. Release the MANUAL button. The SELECTOR DIAL LED will be BRIGHT. Press and Hold the desired CHANNEL button to SAVE. The Button LEDs will flash. Press and Release a CHANNEL (A or B) button to exit Manual Mode and enter that preset (A or B).

AFAICT, no. The 3 and 4 Note Oscillators are intended to be used as Drones. You turn them on/off with the BYPASS function, but the note selection is constant. You can change the notes by assigning them to footswitches (2 per FS), or, to use them in a chord progression, by assigning the notes to snapshots, in which case you're limited to 3 chord progressions. The 3 OSC Synth (STEREO ONLY) will track your single note guitar playing, poorly. In neither of the above would your Taurus be of any use. It might be possible to do using a MIDI translation device such as a BOME BOX. However, this is a rather expensive solution for the limited functionality which it would provide, given that you would be converting NOTES to CC#s to correspond with the HXS footswitches (5 max, two configured globally) or Snapshots (3). The BOME BOX functions are also available in SW but, at the point where you're adding a computer into the mix you might as well just use a proper Soft Synth.

If your GX has an Instrument Level Out, connect it to the Cat's RETURN. A quick look at the manual, it appears that the FX Loop SEND on the GX is Instrument Level. If you want to use the Cat's POST FX in addition to the GX FX, place the FX Loop Switch in the FX Loop position. If not, put that switch in the Power Amp In position. Note that this attenuates the signal (vs the FX Loop position) by (IIRC) 6db. You may want to disable the CAB SIM on the GX but try it both ways and use the one that sounds best TO YOU.

Without knowing details of your specific HW and OS, no one can even begin to address this beyond saying whether or not they have experienced the problem with THEIR specific HW and OS. I run Reaper and Ableton on a Win10 i7 (7th gen) laptop with 16gb and SSD using a Scarlett 18i20 (2nd gen) AI and at 64spls get 7.6ms RT glitch-free latency in small projects (typically 8 audio tracks). I have not experienced the problems you described.

Using both FX Loops, put the IR-D in one and the Pink Taco in the other. Create an A/B Split with one FX Loop in each path. Assign a FS or Snapshot to control the Split. Your LEFT/MONO out goes to the PT's RETURN. You can set it up for either/or, AND/OR combine the two using the ROUT TO parameter (Knob 1) and use Snapshots to control the specifics. See page 38 of the manual.

I have the original HR FRFR112. My bass is passive, and the default settings on any of the AMP/CAB models are just fine, requiring just a bit of compression to accommodate my heavy-handed style of playing. Attach an example of a preset that causes the "overcooked" sound that you're hearing.

AFAIK, DI boxes are designed to BLOCK phantom power from the board to the connected gear: https://gearspace.com/board/audio-student-engineering-production-question-zone/929317-di-measure-protection-phantom-power.html

There is no way to simply change Banks using MIDI, and the person who said his MC3 could do it - @WillemK - never came back to explain how, so I don't think he actually understood the problem. You can use a dual FS set to Preset Bank Up on one button and Channel A/B Select on the other for a double-tap workaround, but since there's no Preset Bank Down...

Global Settings>Footswitches>FS3=TAP/TUNER In CommandCenter set a FS to SNAPSHOT. The DEFAULT settings cycle 1-2-3-1-2-3. In CommandCenter set a FS to LOOPER.

Attach the preset in question and I'll have a look at it. You may be right, but without context I couldn't begin to try to duplicate the problem.

How would it know that you don't want to go to Snapshot Mode? A Global Setting? Maybe you only want that SOMETIMES? A per preset setting? Per Snapshot? Thing is, if you hang around here (or any gear forum) long enough you realize that everybody has something they think it's crazy that the device they bought doesn't do by default. Nothing does everything that everybody wants it to do. That's life! Time to start saving for the gadget that does more of what you want (need?) it to do. FWIW - my Helix Floor does everything I want/need, and more. Just sayin'... sounds GREAT too!

On Helix, LT or in 8 switch Stomp Mode on the Floor, that is the default behavior. Unfortunately, on the HX Stomp, it doesn't work that way, and I don't see any way to force that behavior.

I'm not sure I understand everything that you are asking, but here goes: 1) First, the FX Loop should be set to INSTRUMENT Level in Global settings. Second, IMO, dirt pedals don't sound good when used in FX Loops. By the time the guitar signal hits the pedal it has already undergone two digital conversions AD at Helix Input and DA at FX Loop SEND, then another AD returning to the main signal chain and another DA when exiting Helix to the power amp/speaker. Add another complete DA/AD conversion if there's a second FX Loop involved. Something gets lost in translation when using dirt pedals. Also, there's a small amount of noise in the FX Loops which is amplified by the dirt pedal. It's not much, but all things considered, your dirt pedals are better off placed between your guitar and the Helix Input. Someone is bound to jump in here and say "It sounds fine to me!" and all I can say is try both methods and judge for yourself. Note that placing any pedal between guitar and Helix that's not TRUE BYPASS will load the guitar's pickups to the pedal's Input (usually 1M) and negate the benefit of the Auto Impedance function of your Helix. This only matters if you're using Helix FX that are other than 1M, such as certain Fuzzes. You can get a pdf which shows the impedances (and much more) of Helix FX here (THANKS to @PerSfor this excellent resource!): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3ye2g1okvx18ypsww746w/Line6-Helix-Model-and-DSP-Summary-3.80.pdf?rlkey=8ygh0iqax8ewds0i3yn0nxc86&e=1&dl=0 2) If you're asking about switching between your amp's preamp section in 4cm and bypassing it to use Helix Amp Sims, place the FX Loop Block next to the Helix Amp Sim in the signal chain. Assign both to the same FS and SAVE the preset with one ON and the other OFF. Each press of the FS will bypass one or the other.

If it's still under warranty, contact support. If not, my GUESS would be either an internal cable came loose, or the switch is bad. You could try opening it up and checking the connections.

Go to The Gear Page>Digital and Modeling Gear. Search for posts by Digital Igloo. He is THE BOSS (aka Eric Klein - Chief Product Design Architect). He has repeatedly said "Not this year. Probably not next year either." That's the best you're going to get on the subject. Buy what you want now. You might not be here tomorrow.

When digital stuff gets wonky for no apparent reason, perform a factory reset. Don't forget to back up first!

The standard 2 button FS controls two functions on one amp. The LT, using MIDI (with the splitter cable I linked) can control every available function on two amps simultaneously. My standard presets, in STOMP MODE, switch Channels and toggle BOOST, both FX and the NG. In PRESET MODE I can select any of the 12 Channels. The 2 button FS can select BANK + 1 other function OR Channel A/B + 1 other function OR BOTH and NO other functions. You can assign Expression Pedals to control any of the AMP parameters as well as any of the "DEEP" FX parameters. EX: Spare an FX Block on the LT by assigning an Exp Pedal to the Cat's VOLUME parameter; assign an Exp Pedal to FEEDBACK on a DELAY and go from slapback to infinite repeats. You can also control Channel Level and select cabs and mics on the XLR Out. Since the Channel Level controls the level of the XLR Out, you could use the VOLUME (CC#7) combined with the Channel Volume (CC#17) to auto-level the differences between Preset Levels. You can change amps or FX within a preset or in MANUAL MODE, including pre/post position. There's more (RTM!), and I'm hoping for direct CC control (vs single parameter control via exp pedal) of the "DEEP" FX parameters in a future update.
