halo, saya ingin bertanya kepada teman-teman di sini. Mengapa Line 6 Helix LT saya mengalami suara intermiten (bahkan tidak ada suara yang keluar) ketika efeknya pertama kali dihidupkan? Namun, setelah 10 menit suara kembali normal. apakah ada yang tahu?

Perbarui ke firmware terbaru v3.71. Jika Anda sudah memperbarui maka lakukan reset pabrik - jangan lupa untuk membuat cadangan preset Anda terlebih dahulu! Translation by Google. Update to the latest firmware v3.71. If you're already updated then perform a factory reset - don't forget to backup your presets first!- 1 reply

HX Effects + Bluguitar Amp1 + Victory V4 preamp issues
rd2rk replied to Tomschelfaut's topic in Helix
So, the HXFX Output should be set to INST and the switch should be -10db? -
HX Effects + Bluguitar Amp1 + Victory V4 preamp issues
rd2rk replied to Tomschelfaut's topic in Helix
A "pre-amp" usually expects an instrument to be connected to its input. Set both FX Loops to INST. Unless you want the amps in series (using both at once?), use separate FX Loops for each, then set a FS (or Snapshot) to toggle the Loops. Use the switch on the BG to get as close to the Victory as possible. +4 (IIRC) is what you'd use for Stompbox (INST) level signals, -10 for LINE. The AMP1 RETURN is LINE LEVEL (per the manual), so set the HXFX OUTPUT to LINE. -
No need to use an aggregate device. Continue to use your UA rig as AI. Set up your Helix Presets with a SEND first in the chain. Take that SEND to an input on your X8 for a DI Track. The X8 and Helix both have SPDIF, so no latency there. Latency only matters if you're playing AND monitoring your playing thru the computer. Direct Monitor thru Helix, no latency. Your problem relates to loading the pickups. As long as you're connecting via the Helix guitar input you can work around your issue. The next problem you'll probably mention is, since you're "recording a band", you may have a shortage of inputs on your UA gear. Sorry, time to upgrade!

Input Impedance and pickup loading. The three inputs all load the pickups differently. It's a complicated subject, Google it. Simplest solution: Instead of using the Apollo, use the Helix as AI and plug into the Helix guitar input like you would in a real-world performance. Create presets on Helix. With impedance set to AUTO your pickups will be properly loaded for the effects in the chain. When recording use Helix, record an effected performance track and record a DI track with USB 7/8. Use Native for re-amping. Helix/Native is a SYSTEM and works best when treated accordingly.

Radial is pro quality. I'd guess that the JDI uses the same transformer as the ProDI, just has more features. Read the descriptions on the Radial site and if you don't need the added features, get the ProDI. As for the "Sound Engineer", he was probably the waitress's boyfriend moonlighting from his day job at Guitar Center...
-
The Radial's transformer is heavy-duty, designed with the saturation problem in mind.

Is there a way to combine an amp, and a 3rd party IR into one block?

No. -
Please add the room mics and Focus Filter from Mettalurgy to Helix Native

Now that you've clarified your actual needs/situation, I can report that I use my ToneX Pedal in the FX Loop of my Helix and send that on to either my Catalyst100 or FRFR112. Latency is negligible, and it sounds great. I'm not a P&W kind of guy (hard rock/blues), but when I feel like getting "ambient" the Helix has more than enough mods/delays/reverbs to get me there and back!
-
ON or OFF, the DSP has been allocated.
-
Don't forget the Strymons, though being reverb/delay it likely won't be noticeable, and IIRC they're True Bypass. FOH will be analog, so no latency there. Latency doesn't really bother me until >15ms, but some folks are hypersensitive to it, especially "shredder" types. I've also read (on TGP, so consider the source) that using dual ToneX pedals can introduce Phase issues?
-
Your diagram will work but has potential for LOTS of latency!
-
That is NOT normal. You've tried the usual remedies. Contact support.

Lower the Channel Volume in the Amp Block?

To change a Snapshot on the HXFX requires two messages - Preset# (message 1) and CC#69 + VALUE = 0-3 (Snapshots 1-4). Since a single FS in Stomp Mode can only send one message at a time you would need to trigger a Snapshot on the LT whose Instant Commands are set to send both messages: IC#1 = HXFX Preset# IC#2 = CC#69 + VALUE If you only need the HXFX Snapshots that are in ONE HXFX Preset you can set the LT Preset's default Snapshot's IC1 to send the HXFX Preset# so that it's called when the LT's Preset loads, then use single Stomps to call the HXFX SS#s. In this way the LT Preset can call any HXFX Preset from its 8 Snapshots and any HXFX Snapshot from those Presets using the LT's Stomps. Don't forget to turn OFF "MIDI PC SEND" in Global Settings on the LT to prevent the LT from sending its DEFAULT PC# when you load a preset. Attached is an example Preset. It assumes that the HXFX is on the same MIDI Channel as the LT BASE Channel. Obgibo.hlx

Whenever something totally weird starts happening, perform a Factory Reset (don't forget to back-up first!). If it then continues to happen contact support.
-
The "MIC" feature in the Powercab is only applied when you're using Speaker Emulation. FRFR just passes what comes in from the Helix. Same as if you just ran the XLR from Helix.

Wire your rig for 4cm (see the manual). Guitar>Helix In>Pre FX>Helix SEND>Amp IN>Amp SEND>Helix RETURN>Post FX>Helix Main Out>Amp RETURN You can place a Helix Amp next to an FX Loop Block and set them both to the same FS (or use Snapshots) so that when the Helix Amp is ON the FX Loop is OFF and the full Helix Preset is routed to the amp's FX Return. Then when the Helix Amp is OFF the FX Loop is ON and you're using the Helix FX (Pre and Post) with the Physical Amp's Preamp. Obviously, you can create Presets designed for on or the other routing also. Download and read the manual. There's LOTS of possibilities.

Again, contact support to find the best source for customers in Spain. Tell them what part you need. They would know better than anyone on this forum where you can get that part in your area of the world.

MIDI is MIDI. If the device has a 5pin MIDI port and you connect it to another device with a 5pin MIDI port, the age of the device re compatibility is NOT the issue. The issue is what EXACTLY is the sending device sending, and can the receiving device actually HEAR what is being sent. Connect your HD500 to your computer using a MIDI Interface. That could be an Audio Interface with MIDI Ports or even the cheapest MIDI to USB cable: Amazon.com: TENINYU USB to MIDI Cable Converter 2 in 1 PC to Synthesizer Music Studio Keyboard Interface Wire Plug Controller Adapter Cord 16 Channels Supports Computer Laptop Windows and Mac : Musical Instruments DL a MIDI Monitor such as this: MIDIView - Free MIDI Monitor tool for Win & Mac (hautetechnique.com) This will tell you what EXACTLY is being sent. Most importantly the MIDI CHANNEL. Assuming that the MIDI CHANNEL matches between the HD500 and the Catalyst, you should have communication. That said, I have observed that the Catalyst works best on MIDI Channel 1. That should not be an issue, but it can be, so use MIDI CHANNEL 1. Read the devices' manuals to see how to set these. The Catalyst requires the APP for this. Now you need to know which CC#s are required to control whatever. Note that the Catalyst requires TOGGLING CCs for switches. That means a CC VALUE of 127=ON; 0=OFF. Expression pedals controlling variable values such as VOLUME use a RANGE of VALUES which can be set anywhere between 0-127, typically 0-127.

Hurry and trade your crappy L6 products for something of REAL QUALITY like a Headrush product. Their Service and Support are INFINITELY SUPERIOR! I've heard that Mooer and NUX are also VERY customer oriented! Yes, that was snark. I've had my Helix since 2006. The only serious issue I ever had (a bad board) was resolved completely (no charge) with a one week turnaround time. When one of my 4yo out of warranty HXStomp's knobs malfunctioned they sent me a new HXStomp. Again, in under a week. Yes, the trim on my Cat100 is falling off (fixed on the new CX version). I keep meaning to super glue it, but I'm concerned that might be beyond my technical abilities ;-). BTW, if you haven't heard, you can upgrade the FW to give your Cat all of the functions of the new CX version. FREE! The build quality (apart from the trim) is very good. IDK what you're expecting for the price. Norwegian wood? No, I probably wouldn't take it on a world tour. OTOH, if it broke somewhere in Uzbekistan I'm confident that L6 would find me a replacement. A good friend has fronted a Punk/Metal Band for YEARS, playing in every dive bar in Colorado, using a Spider 75 and a POD Bean, both of which he's had since they were released. In short, your concerns are groundless. Even with their limited hours I've only once had a problem contacting them by phone , and then I got a message that they were in a meeting. Not saying it can't happen, just never been my experience. Call Line 6 Technical Support If your issue involves using a computer, to help us better assist you, please complete your support profile.
