Hi All, I made 2 backups prior to updating the flash firmware using HXEdit 3.11. After flashing my helix, I hled down 8-9 and asked it to do a resotre to defualts as per the instuctions. no issue. I then tried to load in my backup and it stops rebuilding on preset 267. (I waited 30 mins to see if it would go past) If I turn the unit off and then on again, it skips this and continues on until the next preset it doesn't like (523), and stops there. If i do the same thing, it skips over it and stops at (524) and so on and so forth. I made 3 backups of my settings. 1 before upgrade on 3.10, 1 after going to hxedit 3.11 and one during the update of the helix process using HXEdit 3.11 None of my backups are rebuilding. Any ideas??? My last upgrade to 3.10 restored no issue for that firmware, this one however, 3.11, refuses to rebuild.

Helix Tuner issues!! I would like to report a new bug found with 3.01 Helix Firmware on the hardware itself. It seems random however, after swapping a few patches and re-tuning for Drop-D the tuner stops working properly. It seems like it Laggs behind the played note by 10 seconds. At first, i thought it was me or my guitar/cable etc however, when i chek with my ears, all works properly. Then my Bass plyare noted the SAME issue with his Helix-LT "I’ve had to restart it as it was lagging 10 secs behind the note I was tunig after 2 hours use and updating/saving some patches." I went back to my Helix, turned it off at the power and back on, and yes, the issue went away, only to come back around 20 mins later this time. Sometimes it can be a hour or nto at all but gigging with this thing is becoming harder and harder. I will be packing another tuner tonight :-( Just an FYI, that's now confirmed on Helix and Helix LT since the upgrade. I am wondering if this is related to the same delay bug the Looper sometimes has that I posted earlier. I really hope Line-6 looks at these posts :-(

That did it.Thank you :-)

I have the same issue, and the reset and restore of the Helix did not help. It still seems to select whatever the hell preset it feels like selecting, not the one I programmed. This needs to be fixed! Right now this setup is completely useless for gigging. Yep. I have found that to save things properly, don't use HX Edit 3, it's broken. Do what you need to do to get yourself setup the way you want and which screen is displayed on the floor unit and then "use the floor unit" to save the patch, not HX Edit. Don't downgrade either. the older HX Edit is not compatible with 3.01 either apparently. The Pitch shift and looper delay stuff is killing me more than these issues. Total performance breaking bugs. Gone back to carrying multiple instruments. Really nasty update unfortunately.

Hello Helix Gurus. I need to be able to move the 1/2speed button away from the Play/Stop buttons in the Looper. When on stage, if I don't hit the Play button exactly right, I often find I also hit the 1/2speed button with my foot, along with the Play/Stop button next to it. I need to get it out of the way. Is there any way to edit the layout for the Looper button positions? Thanks everyone, and happy new year :-)

Hi Helix gurus The new 3.01 Helix firmware seems to have broken the "Simple Pitch Shift" key change ability. It now sounds warbled, like there is some weird delay or effect going on when I just want to simply shift up/down a semi-tone or more. "seems worse when shifting lower" Everything worked fine in sound before 3.0/3.01 This is really important to my live performances as it is now unusable on stage and I need to tune my guitar instead of using the feature. If this could please be given some attention, that would be fantastic, as I now need to have multiple guitars just for key changes when a capo is not going to work. Also, the Looper seems to have a slight delay processing now and cuts off the start of the beat when pushed to record, like a slight delay? Actually, even changing patches seems slower and has audible drops before the selected patch allows audio again. *Addition My Bass player also has a Helix LT and has now confirmed the exact same issue after upgrading. So that's Helix and Helix LT that have the same issue. Hope that helps. Thank you!

think 2. The Helix shows me a percentage of volume for only a second or two. I want it to show me that value constantly so I know where the pedal is at when I return to it. 20% clean 40% etc.

Hi Helix Gurus, just a couple of quick questions that really bugs me. 1.) Is there a way to make the volume pedal constantly show the vloume percent of my patch instead of switching back to EXP1 EXP2 I'd much rather it tell me the volume on where my patch is and maybe split that with it being on EXP1/2 at far right where it's not solid. 2.) Is there a way to assign a colour on the Looper switches? They are all white and it's easy to miss-step on a dark stage with fake smoke around!! I need Red for record, Green for play etc... Thanks people.

*FIXED IT* I had this exact same issue, even after the 2.82 update. after talking with Tom from Yamaha Australia, i backed up all my settings using Line-6 Edit and then turned off the unit. I held down Foot Switches 9&10 which, is the bottom row, middle 2 switches. I held those switches down whilst I powered up the unit and did a factory-reset. It deleted everything however, it FIXED this exact issue and then i just restord my backup. All done! the system must re-query the pedal on initalisation. Anyway, try it. You have nothing to lose like I did.
