So you've ended the loop recording not by hitting "play" or "stop", but instead "play once". And it doesn't overdub whatever you're playing during that play once? Apparently only "play" or "stop" actually stops the recording. For unknown reasons, "play once" does not.

I have the Helix floor unit. But I did find a work around. After recording the loop, if you first hit "play" instead of "play once" and stop it after the first play, then next time you hit "play once" it will not overdub. Haven't yet tried a full reset.

I'm having the exact same trouble as the OP. Record a loop, hit "play once", and then use that as a one-time backing. So far so good. But later if you want to use that loop again, and hit "play once", what you've already played over that loop has been recorded onto the loop even though overdub was set to "out" during the first instance of playing. In fact, the looper continues to act as if overdub is engaged (even though it's not), and continues recording whatever you play onto the loop. Anyway to stop this weird behavior?

Thanks, the real trouble was that I hadn't updated HX Edit to 2.8. After that, the update worked. One question, though. I've got both "HX Edit" and "Helix" icons on the desktop. After the update, the program behind the Helix icon (at v2.11) says there's no device connected. HX Edit works fine. Previously, they both worked. I don't see anyway to update the Helix program on the L6 website, but I'm not sure if I need to; HX edit seems sufficient to do everything. Am I missing something?

How long does the 2.8 update take? Mine has been at it about 3 hrs now, currently with the Boot Failure message on the screen and the % complete indicator at about 50%. Is it frozen?
