This certainly seems to be the biggest issue for Line 6 to resolve on this product. I love the way this thing sounds...but if you're hard into MIDI - which you should be if you have this pedal - it's tough to work with. Feel everyone's pain on this. I have two HX1's and rely on a Boss ES-8 for MIDI control of them and a few strymons. I even replaced one of my strymons because I thought the HX1 would improve my workflow and reduce how much menu diving I do. But these MIDI isses are essentially making the workflow not any better.

Same here. I'm using a Boss ES-8 loop switcher to control my HX1 and a couple of Strymons via MIDI. Any ES-8 preset 'template' I'v created that calls the same HX1 preset, locks all knobs, and appears to disable any Midi CC messages the ES-8 sends. For some of my ES-8 presets, I like to call the same effect preset, but send a CC at the same time to change something like tap division, or spread, or mix level. The Strymons handle this just fine, the HX1, not so much. So my work around has been to create a whole new HX1 preset to call...but editing that preset when the knobs are locked is a bit of a hassle. For what's essentially a multi-fx unit, I would have throught the Midi implementation would have been more robust. It's even more disappointing that something like sending the exact same PC message locks out the hardware controls of the pedal.

it's out right now. just downloaded it and can edit my HX FX unit just fine with it.

Damn dude. I've been checking on this just about every day for the last week or so as well, but jeez....I kinda expect you to brick your unit after this and then (of course) blame Line6 for putting out a bad\rushed FW update. LOL. Good luck!
