I have the same issue on 3.83. Only fix is to turn the Auto Display feature off in settings, and not use Preset names, which kind of sucks....

So now that there is an editor, and cabability for more preset tweaking, do you think L6 will add a Customtone section for the Pod Express for preset sharing?

Awe! I warned you I was lame. Never seen that other screen before. Thanks, Michael

I haven't used my Native for awhile (Use a Helix and an XL Stomp usually), but want to get back into using a computer based system again for a few things. I was trying to get it going again with Reaper x64 (might have been running x86 before as that was the preferred version of Reaper but now looks like they recommend x64). I updated my Native to the latest update, but when I try to access Native via a Track in Reaper, I get a strange interface screen for Native that doesn't look like the typical (see attached). I believe I was previously running through Reaper x86 and using the vst dll , but now all I have on the 64 version of Reaper is a VST3 option, but in my VST folder both the VST2 and VST3 dlls of Native are installed. So first of all does Naticve works with Reaper x64 and if so, is the VSTdll I should be using? How do I get the normal Native interface to show instead of the one in the picture? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both and still getting the same thing. I am sure I am just doing something wrong, so any help would be appeciated before I reach out to L6 support. Thanks, Michael

I was trying to see the status of program changes for changing presets, and see that it has not been addressed, but you cant blame Line 6 as you are trying to make their VST DAW Plugin into a live rig, which was never their intention considering they have a whole line of hardware modelers for live use. I use a Helix Floor unit live but am running Native as a secondary practice rig and trying to set up a little midi controller, but I can live with snapshots, turning blocks on and off, volume pedal, and Tap tempo via midi. Many times I can get through a set using one patch and just the snapshots and stomp changes. I am not confident they will add preset changes in fear of cannabalizing their hardware units, but I can understand their reasoning.

I was able to get it all working by using the plug-in ReaLearn, that allows me to reassigning note values to CC codes.

Still stuck. I am not sure what the issue is but sure its my lack of understanding Midi. Reaper is seeing all my keypresses on my Midi Controller (Alesis Q25 keyboard) - verified by running ReaControlMidi and logging of keypresses. For example I press the lowest key on the keyboard and it reports back note 48, etc. But when in Native the status bar (lower right "Midi In" light) will not see these presses ,except for when I move the Modulation wheel(CC1) or Pitch Wheel - nothing else responds. I was able to assign a block on and off to that CC1 that I know Native is seeing so Im close. Just cant figure out why none of the keys are being seen. I thought maybe it was because of Hardware Control mode being on and reserved CCs but that's not it as I tried ones not reserved with no luck and also tried turning off HC but still no joy. I could be wrong but since Reaper is seeing all my Midi keypresses, shouldnt it be as easy as setting a Bypass on the same note value as the keyboard is sending. Are note values the same as CC, or is there something I am missing. I also tried reassigning CCs via JS MIDI Mapper but that led nowhere. Just stuck and the issue is the Line6 support on MIDI is very sparse and this appears to be something on that side, and not Reaper, so not sure who can help.

I am trying to set up a small practice rig with Native (I own a Floor for Live performances). Using Native with Reaper, and works fine, and am now trying to set up a small midi keyboard (Alesis Q25) to allow me easily to change snapshots , Bypass blocks etc. If I can get this working I might consider Midi Floor controller. So I have read the official L6 info on it(which is very limited) quite few posts on the Net about setting up, as well as the Helix Native Pilots guide, and am stuck at the point of getting the Native VST to see any Midi input (The lower right status bar "Midi In" not seeing anything). From the Native Pilots guide on page 47 I am stuck on this part: Additionally, it is often necessary to configure your DAW host track routing to so that the external MIDI Controller data is fed directly to your current Helix Native plug-in instance. This often requires the use of a MIDI or Instrument track to receive the MIDI input and then route it to the audio track on which the Helix Native plug-in inserted. Please see your application's documentation for details. TIP: On the plug-in’s Status Bar, at the lower right of the main window, you’ll see a handy MIDI In indicator light. When Helix Native receives MIDI input, you’ll see this light up green—which can be a big help I have a separate track setup for the Midi keyboard and then its routed to my Native track. Problem is Native does not appear to see my Midi commands being sent, as the NAtive VST is not showing any response on that "Midi In" icon in Native. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Michael

I just got going on Helix Native(had a license I never used) and had the same question, but ended up getting it set up with SAVIhost - really simple

Check out this video -https://youtu.be/hBltf-snJ8Q?t=737 It is my understanding that the midi capability is really dependant on your DAW capabilties. I am running Native in Reaper DAWand I was now looking at getting a foot controller to send midi commands like snapshots, bypass etc. I have a Helix floor for live but trying to set up a Native practice rig at my office. Curious about getting Native control via a NI Rig Control 3, came here looking for midi info.

What about presets that utilize the newer reverbs from 2.50. As you probably know, on 2.60 the newer reverbs got considerably wetter so most are having to dial back the mix as much as 50%, and lower decay too. Im not sure what presets would be affected by this, but will there be any updaying needed as a result of this?

I am a bit late in responding to your post but we have a pretty large FB group for Helix worship use. You will find all your looking for there. Some of those mentioned in this thread are regulars, and we have a files section and a bead on all the best patches for Worship: https://www.facebook.com/groups/helixworshipteamusers/

Totally. We just need some better Reverbs, and more Strymon like delays. I use a Boss RV-6 in the loop, as well as a Digitech JAmMan Solo XT looper in a loop that allows my to play Root key pads along with it.

And most importantly, they have roadies to move, setup and tear down all that analog gear. This is enough of a reason for me to have an all in one modeler.

Have you been over to the Facebook Helix Worship Users group? We got tons of great presets being posted - Even better than the stuff WT is posting and selling, and some of the players are at some pretty large churches.
