Lol..I guess my reply is old also, but I'm really happy that I actually helped someone out!

Same here. I wound up finding one preset that was freezing the entire unit. I don't have a lot of presets, so it was a little easier to pin point. I did everything from resetting to factory, and restoring from backup, rebuilding the presets to the latest OS, ETC, ETC..even rolled back to 3.11, and it was all the same. As soon as I hit that one preset..the entire unit froze up. The way I found it was by performing the factory reset, restoring from backup, and not selecting any presets. Exported all the user presets that I had made to my drive. Then did another factory reset, and imported them back one at a time, until the culprit was revealed. Contacted support, and sent the tech my backup and the one isolated preset, and it did the same thing to his Helix. They tried to figure out what the problem was, but couldn't figure it out, and said, "well hopefully the next update will fix that"...UGH...it's my go to preset, but as long as it's not installed, my Helix works as normal. 3.15 seems to have some bugs that need to be ironed out. I was told another update is coming soon.

Hi, new to the forum and am the owner of a new Helix. I am..was MIDI illiterate, and tried to get info online on how to control my Invective with the Helix without much luck. Any threads regarding this topic usually had very vague information, probably with the notion that whoever was reading it already had an understanding of MIDI...which I didn't. So...this is for the people out there like me. Step one...plug in the footswitch that comes with the Invective and press the Channel 1 select button. Then press the Preset Mode button until all the buttons blink red. Then select Channel 1, and disconnect the footswitch from the amp. Insert MIDI cable from Helix...a 5 pin unlike the 8 pin that the Invective comes with into the amp. Next, go to Global Settings and select MIDI/TEMPO. Select Midi Base Channel as Omni. Then toggle to Preferences and make sure that Snapshot Edits are on "Recall"...not "Discard". Next..hit Menu, and select Command Center. I use the Instant Commands so I can use it with snapshots. Toggle over to Instant 1 in Bank/Program Mode. Set MIDI Channel to 1, leave the Bank CC00 and Bank CC32 blank. Then look in the Invective manual Pages 13-15, and select the Program number with the configuration that you want into the "Program" box in the Command Center. Exaple: If you want the 1st channel with Loop 1 on..enter 36 If you want the 3rd channel with the Gate, Boost, Master boost, and Loop 1 enter 59. It's so simple. I can't believe it took me as long as it did to figure out. And lastly, press save before leaving the Preset and all your settings will stick. I hope I can help some other clueless people like myself with these instructions.
