Yeah, I'll say it again.... HX Edit does not process audio. I have no idea how much work would be required to make HX Edit receive and process an audio signal. I'm just saying it doesn't currently do it. It's all command and control data that goes in and out over that usb cable. No audio. So not really that obvious to add a tuner, at least not to me.

Well that makes sense...

Any good standalone tuners out there I can use without opening a DAW?

This seems so obvious! Upvoter here:

I think you nailed it.  I'm using Ableton Live and the 0 notes are in between the -1 and 1 notes.  Everything is off by an octave between the Helix and Ableton so I think you have it right.  Thanks so much!

Anyone else have an issue with command center and Helix sending the wrong MIDI notes?  I set a button to send E0 on channel 10 and instead it's sending E-1.

I could be doing something else wrong, but other MIDI devices aren't having this issues.

I'm just getting into using the Helix to control the DAW on my PC.  Took a little figuring out and thought for how to approach but it's working great!

Only problem is that I ran out of switches quickly.  Using 8 of the switches for stomp effects on leaves me 2 for commands sent to the PC (plus the tempo and mode switches which I also use).  Is there any way to change from stomp mode to "control" mode to use all the switches for both?  Kind of like you can already do for presets and snapshots.

I think the answer is probably no, which is kind of a bummer and would be a cool feature.  

Nevermind, I was looking at HX Edit.  Duh

I'm an idiot and I can't find it, please help.

Nope, no such option.

I should have mentioned, my gaming headset is plugged into PC USB port directly and is selected as the audio device like you mentioned.

Game audio comes through fine, but chat from other players gets routed to helix unless I shut it off.

Anyone have their chat switch to the helix when its on and plugged in with USB?  I can't play COD with it on.  No chat audio on my headset but all the other sounds are on the headset earphone.

Deleting unused authorizations worked for me!

I also got a response from tech support but didn't need to try their suggestion:

Please try turning off your wifi before launching the plugin. The login page should pop up, then turn back on your WiFi and log back in. Let me know if this resolves the issue.

Thanks! Looks like I'm not alone and there jo solution yet.  I'll submit a ticket and follow up on that thread.  Thanks for the heads up!

Glad I'm not alone, but not glad there's no solution.   Submitting a ticket now...

Tried that, it signs in, authorizes and then the same screen again.

In both Ableton and Reaper, this is what I get when I pull up the plugin.  I have the latest version installed 1.93.

How?  Should I plug in USB and do it from the PC?  I can't even select it right now.

Whenever I try to switch to one certain preset, either using the footswitch or menu, the helix freezes up.  What should I do to try to resolve it?

They dropped a separate post here, which is now buried under a lot of other posts.  If you're itching for an answer, perhaps one of our resident Experts could contact and ask one of the staff members why the stickie wasn't updated.

So it's not normal then?  Just for these 2 updates?

It got stuck...;)

Huh?

I keep seeing posts about 2.81 and 2.82 but the sticky is still at 2.80.  Am I missing something?  Is there a reason the latest aren't stickied?

Xvive works well for me (practicing and jamming).

Its never worth it to run a regular guitar balanced. at least not distorted.

Why not?  I get if it's distorted but have always wondered why guitars never went balanced.

I ran into this the other day and it surprised me too. Usually, I want trails but in this instance I wanted a hard kill switch and then when I switched it back on again it was still blaring out. Quite an unfortunate surprise.  

 

This is something I haven't tried yet, but doesn't the delay change in real time if you mess with the feedback and/or mix factors while the delay is still going?  If so, what would happen if you not only assigned the bypass switch to the delay, but also assigned the feedback parameter to it as well so that when the foot switch was hit it both bypassed it and dialed the feedback to 0%?

 

Maybe nothing. I'll have to test that out tonight though. 

Pretty good idea.  But can it restore the feedback to the right value when you turn it back on?

Have you tried to change the global settings for the headphones monitor? ...So if you use 1/4 in the preset then use 1/4 in the global settings, otherwise the signal will be mixed with the muted XLR.

For example, if you set the headphones monitor settings to multi, than a volume drop is normal when you switch the output from multi to 1/4 or anything else.

...but it should still be loud enought

This was definitely most or all of the issue, thanks so much.  This isn't intuitive to me that it should work like this so I never would have tracked it down without your advice.

Thanks Peter! I don't understand completely, but will play around with those settings and figure out if this is my issue.  I have a feeling this could be just the ticket!
