Does anyone know if there is an archive anywhere of all the previous firmware updates, including the original factory firmware for the Helix? Also, I'm guessing it is necessary to pre-install whatever Helix editor goes along with the respective firmware, so is there also an archive of all previous versions of the Helix editor? Thanks in advance for any help.

I saw recently that Robbie Calvo has become a Helix enthusiast. That's great, because he's not only a great guitar player, but a great instructor. I've followed several of his guitar technique training videos on Truefire.com and I thought it would be pretty great if he were to do an in-depth training course on the Helix. Now Truefire.com is focused on guitar/bass instruction, but they did have one of their instructors do a module on how to make the most out of loopers, so some hardware training wouldn't be that much of a stretch for them. Since Robbie's already one of their popular instructors and since he's now become a Helix enthusiast it seems like a match made in heaven. But how can I make this suggestion to Line 6? All the contact information on this site is focused on support or artist partnerships. Truefire.com wrote me to say hardware-based training would normally be initiated by the manufacturer and to suggest it to them. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

Love it! Great job. Started following you on SoundCloud too. Count me in as one who would love to get the patch with your configurations / settings. Thanks in advance man! Once again... great work!

Thank you everyone for taking the time to give me your input. I'm clear now that I already have everything installed that I will need and the Helix application is not necessary. And also special thanks to regalpierot for the heads up about the Helix freezing if the editor is open. I'll have to keep that in mind. Definitely would have freaked me out a little if I wasn't aware of it. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

Hi everyone. I just got my Helix, installed the latest USB driver (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit), installed the Helix Editor software & Line6 Updater application (v.1.09) and updated my firmware to the latest v.1.12.0. I haven't begun digging into the Helix yet, but I'm a little confused about this "Helix Application" (v.1.04) on the website. I downloaded it, but have not installed it yet. Do I need to install it? Is it an older version of the Helix Editor? What is its purpose? The website has no information about its function and I'd rather not install unnecessary software on my computer. Thanks in advance for any guidance here. Can't wait to start getting my hands and feet dirty with my new Helix!
