it does help... thanks. btw when I said I check "here" I meant the downloads tab here at Line6.com... all good

So I occasionally check here for random updates and I noticed several updates for the L6 updater. I'm not sure I need it but haven't been able to install any recent updates of the updater for a while now. not sure why...?  anyway I'm using an older MacBook air with macOS Monterey 12.2.1... any thoughts?

So for no particular reason I just attempted to log in to L6 license manager and after filling out user name and password it "failed to complete login". Also when I login to L6 updater it tells me that an updated version is available but after I download the update, it fails to install. What could cause this? I'm using an old MacBook Air with the current Monterey OS... thanks

Make sure you are logged into your Line 6 account within HX Edit when you import the Marketplace assets. Check the bottom left area of the HX Edit window to login to your account.

I tried that but it still doesn't work... I also noticed that I can't install the latest update for Line 6 updater.... the notice says something to the effect of "Apple can't unpackaged installation because it can't check for malicious software'... not sure if these issues are related but I'm using Mac OS Catalina...

will do thanks

So I opened up a support ticket on this already but I figured I'd put it out there in case any of you have experienced this... I purchased a couple of preset packs but they failed to import and it gave my a notice about "required licenses"(?) something to that effect... Anyways, does anyone out there know what this is about? Thanks

it appears the issue is really only with L6 Monkey and yes it's a 32 vs 64 bit issue.... I thought it was also affecting L6 updater but that appears to be OK... thanks for the help...

Is there any news regarding software updates compatible with Catalina OS for Mac? Thanks

There is a reverse delay that works better than these.

Do tell... in the Helix? or what?

is there an Echo Park delay model or a delay in the helix that works as a reverse delay like the original delays built in to the Flextone or POD?

Potentially dumb question based on pure laziness but what Helix effect should I use as an octaver? I just want to use it with a lead tone to fatten it up. Also how should I set it up and where in the signal chain? Thanks

I have what I've label the "Heavy's and Classics" package. I think they sound great and they're not standard amp cab IRs,  they're custom IRs... Since I don't know all the ins and outs of IRs and IR tweaking, these are great for me. I think they sound awesome and I also have Ownhammer IRs and love them too... just sayin'

How many come here to talk about a guitar without playing it first?

 

"... wondering if we might ever see the Shuriken with different woods or finishes"---

Charles Cilia's prototype (Stevic's guitar builder) Shuriken has a cocobolo neck,

rosewood fret board, and I'll have to ask him again what the body was (I forgot).

 

There a Shuriken Facebook page for those looking for one of his. A photo of me

playing the prototype when it was here for some of my electronics tweaks.

 

His and our versions,.... nice guitars. Line 6 version has a mix of Stevic model patches

and the usual models.

I am because it looks great and based on videos I've seen about not only Shuriken but Variax guitars they seem really cool especially since I now have a Helix... It's not like I can try one out at Guitar Center... I've never even seen on in person... just sayin'

So I went ahead and updated from 2.50 to 2.53. This may be a silly question but since the latest update appears to be only bug fixes. Is it necessary to do a restore on the Helix? I've exported my non-factory setlists but clicking "create backup" in HX Edit immediately closes out my HX Edit app... not sure why. (I've opened up a support ticket about this and yes it is the latest version of HX Edit). So assuming 2.53 doesn't have any new amp or effects models, there's no point in doing restore on the Helix, right?

Just got a Helix LT on loan  :)  needed to fix my USB port on my Helix ... The LT sounds sweet! It came loaded with  2.30 and want to update to 2.50. I already Have the new Helix edit 2.52 and the most recent updater that came with the Helix Edit 2.52..

 

Can I update to 2.50 on the LT with the same Helix updater 2.52??  :rolleyes: 

yes indeed

Yes as long as you are on one of the more recent versions of HX Edit. Every version of HX Edit since and including 2.30 has had full state backup which includes your IRs.

cool thanks...

Another question... if and when I get "create backup" to work in HX Edit, will this also back up my IRs? re-loading those one by one is a drag...lol thanks

I was wondering about successful use of the mic input on the Helix. I haven't tried it yet but I will be buying a condenser mic and I know phantom power can be set up in global settings. However I've read that people have come across issues with this in the Helix. Is there a demo video or tutorial on this. When I try/test it I'll probably just use a template preset but I'll be using the Helix as my interface into Logic for recording... thanks

Came to the realization just now that there is more than one "Just Startin'" in this thread... no big deal lol... but I did the reboot... all good. I haven't been messing with the factory presets of late. Just wondering what's new about them since the update?

yes that does make sense... thanks

So I went ahead and exported my setlists then updated to 2.50 firmware and it worked out fine. Interestingly enough I didn't have to import my setlists back after the update. Everything was still there but I have the new amp models and effects... legacy effects etc. Anyways thanks everybody for you input...

thanks

So still no luck. I'm wondering if there's another way to back up the Helix with out using 'create backup" in HX Edit(?) I was really looking forward to the new amp models and effects updates but I don't want to risk loosing my saved setlists and presets...

You need to make sure and close out of all other Line 6 software while running the Line 6 Updater tool.

Yes but HX Edit 2.51 updates without the updater tool. So my issue is I can't back up my Helix and I want it backed up before updating the Helix to 2.50...

Thanks I'll give it another try
