No, it did not.  To install an app properly, usually there's a script that has to be launched from Terminal.  You can always drag the application to the trashcan; however, that doesn't clean up any of the libraries in the System folder, user libraries folders, or Application Support folders.

I successfully upgraded my Helix Floor to 2.30 and installed the newest HX Edit application on my MacBook Pro running macOS High Sierra.  I noticed that the older version is still installed.  I thought the 2.30 version was a new backup/restore specific application.  Simply dragging it from the Applications/Line 6 folder to the trash does not do a proper uninstall for most applications.  Is there a script that can be launched from Terminal that does a proper uninstall?  Thank you.

Thank you!

Have you tried uninstalling the Helix Native a plug-in and reinstalling? What version of macOS and Logic Pro are you running?

As a home player I went with Helix Floor just recently for the expandability and I’m very happy with my purchase. I also bought the Helix Native plug-in at a substantial discount because of it. The possibilities are endless - especially if you want to record at home.

It happens.  Glad you figured it out.  In my field it's usually an error between the keyboard and the chair.  :)

Ddi you do the backup and restore steps that were mentioned in the instructions?  I think there were additional steps required if you had any any version older than 2.20.

With the auto-engage feature, you can control the bypass states of blocks with the expression pedal even without the toe switch. So, no, you don't have to dedicate a stomp on the floor to control the on/off state of the wah. You can use an external expression pedal as a switchless wah, essentially.

I sincerely appreciate that feedback, Phil.  Very helpful.  Thanks!

"My assumption is no since there is not an expression pedal switch input on the Helix Floor."

 

That is correct.

 

I bought the one with the switch, anyway. It might come in handy some time in the future.

Thank you for answering my question.  I just wanted to be sure.   I was thinking about doing the same even if the functionality isn't there with the Helix Floor.

Has anyone tried to do this with a Marshall 2525C combo amp?  It comes with a foot channel switcher, but I would much rather use the Helix instead.  Guess I need to give it a try and report back.

I use the Helix Floor with my Marshall 2525C combo amp.  It sounds great.  I have't experimented with using the amp's effects loop with the Helix, but I honestly think it sounds great as it is.  I'm very happy with my setup.

Hello All,

I am a fairly new Helix Floor and Helix Native owner and am wanting to purchase one or two Mission Engineering expression pedals for wah and other effects while using the built-in Helix expression pedal for volume.  There appears to be two different models that are offered for Line 6 products (SP1-L6H and the EP1-L6).  The only difference I can tell is the ability to use the toe switch to turn the effect(s) on and off.  This is exactly what I am looking to do, but the SP1-L6H only seems to be fully-functional with the Helix Rack.  The EP1-L6 appears to be for other Line 6 products without the toe switch feature.

Since the SP1-L6H is designed specifically for the Helix, will I be able to use this pedal to turn wah on and off without having to dedicate the a stomp button on the Helix Floor itself?  My assumption is no since there is not an expression pedal switch input on the Helix Floor.  Just want to to confirm.  I appreciate anyone's help.  Thank you.

Thanks,

David

Logic and MainStage can map MIDI CCs to all sorts of functions via the Key Command menu, but there are almost 10,000 commands (!!!), so any attempt to map Helix's 10 stomp switches to a comprehensive set (beyond the requisite MCC commands, for which there is a template—8 TEMPLATES > DAW Remote) would be futile.

 

That said, we have plans to add more robust DAW control complete with DAW-specific templates sometime next year.

Thank you so much for the prompt response.  I sincerely appreciate it.

Hello,

I recently purchased a Helix Floor and Helix Native license and am just getting started with using them with my MacBook Pro.  Although they are both overkill for my playing/recording needs, I was originally in the market for some high-end effects pedals an Apogee GiO guitar interface, so buying a Helix Floor seemed like a better move so I can take advantage of all of the effects in one portable unit (not to mention all of the other features).

The Apogee GiO is an older floor-based guitar USB interface for Mac that has programmable effects stomp buttons along with transport control buttons.  It's a plug-n-play device for Macs using Logic Pro X, MainStage, and GarageBand.  I ultimately chose the Helix Floor and Helix Native so I could do all of that plus take it with me for use with my Marshall combo amp.  I have played around with the Helix Floor and the Helix Native plug-in and I love the common interface and ease-of-use.

I have watched several YouTube videos on how to create your own macro buttons so I can use the Helix Floor to Record/Stop/Play, etc.;however, most of what I have seen are running older versions of the software, so the menus are somewhat different.  My hope is that someone has built a template that I can use similar to what Apogee offers for their GiO product (they offer pre-built, downloadable templates).  I understand how the Helix Native plug-in works with the Apple Pro Audio apps; but I need some help setting my my Helix Floor for basic, home recording use.

• MacBook Pro running High Sierra (10.13.2 Developer Beta)
• LogicPro X (10.3.2)
• MainStage 3 (3.3.2)
• GarageBand (10.2.0)

My needs are very basic as I am just playing around at home.  I am running the latest builds of the audio apps and appreciate any advice or feedback you can provide.  Thank you so much!

David

I was having the same trouble using the Line 6 Updater tool for macOS.  I installed the Line 6 Updater for Windows on another computer and my Relay G70 updated without error.  The Line 6 Updater for macOS updated my Helix just fine.  It's clearly an issue with the Line 6 Updater for macOS and the Relay G70.
