To be fair for the OP. The USB 3 standard is more than 15 years old. To sell a product today that is (randomly or suddenly) incompatible with USB3 is not something that can be excused by writing USB2 in the manual. If it’s only guaranteed to work today with USB 2 it needs to explicitly say so in the manual and on the product page. Like: “USB2, but NOT USB3 compatible”. I agree that using hubs and low quality cables etc is a different story. Unless line6 specifically state that it will not work with USB3, people are not wrong in expecting it to work. Especially if it has been working for years. And they definitely don’t deserve to be flamed for assuming it would work.

Ehm… let me get this straight. Is Helix not compatible with USB3? Like suddenly it will only work with USB2? It has worked flawlessly with my iMac (USB3 only AFAIK) for 3 years.

I check by this forum frequently, but am I the only one who's puzzled that I need to scroll a lot to see some relevant new posts. And who will miss that there's e.g. 3.70 out there, because the sticky posts still talks about 3.10? Hopefully some moderators can do a bit of clean up in what's sticky and what's not. I would love to see the latest firmware announcements always be among the top 5 sticky posts. That being said: Then I just LOVE that a hardware that's what? 7-8 years old is still getting new firmware updates with a lot of new features. Thanks a lot to all the developers!

The driver worked! I had zero idea that I actually had to download a separate driver for it. So used to these things just working without. Thanks!

Running 13.5.2 Ventura on an iMac 27, 2020 intel. Helix floor is firmware 3.60.0 and HX Edit is 3.62 I have a scarlet focusrite 18i8 and the Helix floor set up as an aggregated device in midi/audio. I can change clock setting on the focusrite, but not on the Helix. The option to change clock is greyed out and locked to 48kHz. On the Helix it self I can change clock rate to 44.1 and all the other options, but on the Mac it seems like it stays at 48 regardless of what settings I'm making. Under the aggregated device I can of course change the clock source to the focusrite, but it seems like the helix is not really paying attention to this. So basically I'm stuck at 48 kHz it seems. I read some old thread from 2018 that MacOS privacy and security settings was blocking the Helix driver, but that you could remove that blocking. Since then it seems like Apple has become even more paranoid so I can't even unblock it. That setting is not there any more for us pesky normal users to change. Anyone else seeing the same?

Sounds like a good approach - I will test it out.

Cool… I do have a wah. And since it’s the wah and guitar electronics doing this I’m not in doubt that it can be done with everything in front of the helix. The thing is I just switched to active pups and then the wah will not see the guitar electronics as it’s a buffered circuit (I guess - I’m really stupid with electronics :-D)

So David Gilmour originally obtained this effect by plugging in his wah in reverse (probably by accident). Moving the tone knob will in some way make the guitar tone and wah filter circuits go into self oscillation… I assume. Then add echo and you have it. Doesn’t work with humbucker or active pups. Clearly anything digital will NOT be build for this. But can you obtain the same/similar effect anyhow with the helix? Perhaps with the synth section and filter/wah? I only had 2 days of play with my helix so far, so I’m not there yet.

Found out you should put in the username and not e-mail. Then it worked

Same here. Latest version of Reaper on Mac OSX 10.12.6. So frustrating

Ah. So I could get the Amplify app to stream the music to my system (and it's received as AirPlay and not Bluetooth). But the sound of the guitar does not play on my system. I can hear the mix of music and guitar on the headphones all fine, but not through my Harman Kardon system. I guess a solution could be to wire the L/R output of FX100 to my system using old analog copper wires ;-)

I cant get it to work on my fx100. I have a harmon kardon BDS-580 surround system that has Bluetooth playback capability. I can select the harman kardon (listes as Blu ray) on the settings page under device selection, but I get no sound.
