This is a cinch!
First confirm what midi channel the sy-300 is set to use through it's menu.
Menu---midi---midi settings
It's the first option
Then go to the helix command center on the patch your working with.
Now choose an instant command.
Command - bank/prog
Midi ch - whatever channel you have the boss set to
Program - the number of the present you wish to recall.
Working great for me. However if you intend to send midi commands using footswitches in snapshots mode, you'll have to wait, cause with current firmware the helix is a crippled animal at the moment.... dying for another update to fix this!!!!!
Wow man that is great info. Thanks for your reply. I will get this done after work today.

Just wondering if I can set up my Helix to recall presets on my SY-300 Guitar Synth via MIDI, and if so point me in the right direction as far as how.

Don't use presets to judge the tonal quality. Some are good, but most have exaggerated effects. Like the above poster said, check out the "How to Create a Great Tone" series on Jason Sadites' YouTube channel. Start with the first one and go in order. This might seem like a PITA, and may be thinking "what do I have to do all this work for? I just want to play and this is a waste of time". It is a brief time investment, and soon you will get noticeably better at getting good sounds.

Seems to have been fixed, No issues now.

I'm on my Android now with no issues, but when i click on the "sign in" button on my Windows 10 laptop, nothing happens.
Anyone else having this issue?

So a week or so ago I was having issues with a horrible overtone in my high gain patches, with all your help I got it mostly fixed but it seems to be comming back. I have a patch file and a recording of my helix playing the patch using the USB direct out. These overtones and low end breakup are coming back again and I am just not sure why, If anyone has the time to try this patch (its a standard patch that came with he 2.5 update) and compare it to my recording I would be greatly appreciative. This community has been the greatest . Many thanks in advance!!!!!!
Just downloaded your preset and it sounded very good through my setup, with none of the issues you're describing. The problem is not your preset but somewhere else in the chain. Good luck.

This is a quick demo I just put together. My band plays "Burnin' for You"... Blue Oyster Cult. This is the harmonizer preset I use for the song when we play gigs. Would I record with it? Of course not, but for my purpose it's fine.
It is a Twin Harmony Block placed between the amp and cab.

The liberal return policies of major USA retailers are not forced by laws. They are the policies chosen by each retailer to compete in the market.
Good brief article...
https://consumer.findlaw.com/consumer-transactions/customer-returns-and-refund-laws-by-state.html
Returns and Refunds under Federal Law
Many retailers, as part of their business models, allow returns if customers change their minds or receive unwanted items as gifts. While many retailers have decided this makes for the best business practice, they aren't legally required to accept returns. Rather, retailers are required to accept returns only if the sold good is defective or if they otherwise break the sales contract.

I have found that most of Glenn's preset need a low cut between 100-120hz or even higher for them to work for me.

First, if it takes a rocket scientist to run a multi effects pedal than it has failed its objective. For those of you who think that spoon feeding or codling is the only help you can give, than you really are not helping anyone. IF you have to spend half your life to get a good tone for one song-- what is the point. You dont pay 50,000 for a car or truck to take a college coarse on how to start it up and drive it. 2000.00 is a proce of a near top end amp that you can turn on and tweek with no effort. Line6 , in offering this product needs to do much better to get people to first base based on the scenario of the rig they might be using, or at least be right up front that the only way to use this properly is by buying yet another pieced of equipment in the form of another 1000.0o FRFR. Muscians, not computer and sound engineering geniuses, want to play. They want to easily use a multi effects unit to get to a storable, usable, and recallable preset in a reasonable amount of setup time. If it is impossible to get to that point than the solution offered by line6 is not practical and way too complicated . My occupation is one of engineering in a controls environment, so I am not without having to learn software and such based systems. Nothing is working, not even through an FRFR at the local music store. In fact the number f product returns is mounting. Now, the fact that some are able to get this thing to a tamed position means that the knowledge is there. So , unless line6 wants to wait for its competition to bury them in this sens, I want to suggest that they start to listen to the hundreds of users complaining all over the internet about the same issue- harshness and unusable amp models. And please, no more helpful suggestions that the hundreds of us need to grow up and expect to spen months, or better yet, to pay to learn how use a solution on what otherwise is being ushered as the next best thing to sliced bread.
Please post a preset you are having a particularly hard time with, and describe the playback system you want to use with it (FRFR, real amp, etc.). Someone will help you with it.

Is 250w enough for live playing if you're not going to FOH? I've only used my DXR12 with my band. It's 1000w. I keep it at 12 o'clock and the Helix at 10 o'clock. 250 may be enough, but I'm not sure.
SPL is 125dB, which on paper is impressive. I guess we'll find out how loud they are when they get released.
I really have no use for this thing but if it does what they say they'll probably sell a bunch of them.

FYI: Ad-Block takes care of that Black Bar...
Not on my device.

Yes. The black bar is bad. I don't like the basic layout, either.

I have a Firehawk 1500 and a Helix floor.
1) Not much better sound quality, IMO, but the Helix has much more variety of sounds, with more routing options that the FH just can't do. Plus the Helix can use IRs.
2) Yes, you can alter your presets and save them in different banks. I change presets for different guitars and save them in another bank. I you wanted to use your real amps you could just disable the amp block in your presets, or use preamp only blocks if you go 4CM.
3) WDW only works for audience members that are positioned in the middle of the room. In my mind it's more trouble than its worth.
4) Sorry I don't know. Someone else could chime in on this.

I had some situations where transitions between snapshots sounded abrupt or had a small pop, and I usually managed to narrow this down to dynamics changes in the chain. Try removing other parts of the chain and seeing if your problem goes away.
Yes. I found that i have to stop playing the instant i switch snapshots or else a pop or some other weirdness becomes audible.

I like it, too.

All, thanks for your replies!
When you say "Variax bundle", is that referring to the presets? (Sorry new at this)
Yes.
My advice is to join this forum...
https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?board=138.0
I would go to the Variax sub-forum, where guys post their JTV presets and bundles. Through trial and error you should be able to find bundles that work for you.
I would share my bundle with you, but most of my presets are from a purchased Helix bundle from Fremen. http://line6.com/support/topic/22156-fremen-big-pack-175-presets/

I feel the OP's logic, but anyone purchasing modeling gear really has to understand that a decent re-sale value has a short shelf life in that once the tech is outdated, you'll get pennies on the dollar.
It's only money, and I can make more at my job... To buy more gear I don't need. :D
-
I hate to see people struggling with this. It was frustrating as hell for my on my 59. I eventually sorted it out by installing someone else's Variax bundle, but I wasted many hours trying to find a work-around.
My JTV89F never had the problem at all.

Still no mobile access for me.
502 error message appears on my screen.

Helix LT rocks when plugged into a real Guitar Amp, but is kinda sterile on a PA
Maybe Helix NATIVE works better through a PA? Don't know.
I do know I've achieved better results with Amplitube through a PA then I have with a Helix
Don't use the global EQ. Use an EQ (high cut set at 8K, adjust from there by ear) block after the cab block. If that doesn't work something is wrong with your hardware, or wrong with your patch.
Post one of your patches that you have set for PA/FRFR in this thread. Maybe one or two of use can check it out and offer more specific advice.

IIRC blue indicates modeling is engages and whtie indicactes alt tuning.
My 89F model knob is white, not blue.
usb recording not as defined that headphone sound
in Helix

You could be hearing the acoustic sounds of the physical guitar while recording, which of course won't be present at playback.
