  1. I get the following when trying to export a Helix Native Bundle - and it list one for each of my user presets:

     

    Helix Native was unable to export presets in this set due to following errors:

     

    -1116 - Could not decrypt the asset. (3, 0)

    What does this mean? And How do I fix it?

    Hi,

     

    You really should read the Helix Native 3.15 Pilot’s Guide,

    I did look at the Pilots Guide - but couldn't find Split Crossover when I searched.

    On page 48 you will find this explanation:-

    • Split Crossover: Splits the audio content so that treble frequencies are sent to Path A, and bass frequencies are sent to Path B (or the path routing is reversed when Reverse is On). Use the Frequency parameter to set the center frequency; Any signal above this frequency is sent to Path A, and any signal below this frequency is sent to Path B
    • Split Dynamic: Similar to a crossover, except the audio content above the audio Threshold is sent to Path A, and the content below the audio Threshold is sent to Path B (or the path routing is reversed when Reverse is On). Attack determines how fast the signal routes to Path B once reaching the Threshold, and Release determines how fast the signal returns to Path A once falling below the Threshold. Typically, higher values result in a smoother transitio

    Thank you - that helped me a lot.

  3. I am on a Mac - I don't see the need for a stand along app - it might be fun to play with - but all my recording and playing is don't with my DAW - Logic Pro - and I don't have any latency issues at all. Aside from the Fun To Use point of view - is there any advantage to having it be a stand alone app?

  4. I understand how the Split works - what I don't know is how does Split Crossover and Split Dynamic work?

    Split Crossover does what exactly? Does it High Pass everything above the frequency set? And If you reverse 

    it does it low pass everything below the frequency set?

     

    Then with the Split Dynamic - is it just a compressor in place?

     

    I know how the Split Y and Split A/B work - but how does the Split Dynamic and Split Crossover work? Do they take everything after the split point and negate it?

     

    Thanks for any answers.

  5. Necropost - I get everything in your post except the side chain part. I don't see a SideChain - do you use Aux sends? Buss Sends? What are you using for the SideChain  in a Software Instrument?

     

    Also does this mean you have two instances of Helix - one that is midi and one that is in the SideChain?

    nah just a quick video, but if it's already been done then no

     

     

    I'd been interested if you would post it.  I literally hate my FCB - it's very wonky - and I can never get the expression pedals to Zero Out and still go to full.

    I've bought second-hand POD Studio UX1 from my friend (he is musician). And I'am Mac OS user. Now I can't connect my POD Studio UX1 to my Mac (Mac OS is Mojave version). the line 6 monkey 1.78 cannot detect ESN and line 6 license manager cannot detect my UX1. hello friends maybe someone can provide a solution? thanks a lot

     

     

    Not completely sure - but I believe you have okay The Pod and Monkey in Security & Privacy. Apple has implemented an additional security layer for kernel extension drivers (like Line 6 audio drivers). Connect your Device , then open the Security Control Pane and accept the Line 6 driver.

    Try this (assuming you're feeding a stereo instance of Native with either a dual guitar track with guitars panned hard L and R, or using two mono tracks into a stereo bus panned accordingly).

     

    Use a Split Y to keep the guitars panned hard L and R onto path A and B. Then put whatever amp/cab you want on Path A after the split, and same for Path B. Then put a Mixer right after the amps to rejoin them on Path A, with the same hard pan L an R. The add any stereo effects you want to your new stereo path. See screen shots here for Split Y and Mixer settings (whoops, Mixer A Pan should be 100, not 98). Let me know if that works for you.

    That seems awfully convoluted - I'm not a pro at Helix Native - but wouldn't splitting Input 1 off to Input two work much better? Then Input one goes out left and Input 2 goes out right. 

    Then in the DAW just pan input one hard left and input 2 hard right.  Perhaps I'm not understanding the process here.

    The setup:

    I'm using the Line6 POD HD500X as an audio interface on my 2017 iMac recording into Logic.

     

    The problems:

    1) Generally everything is working fine, however, after some time the audio randomly drops out for small periods of time, <1 second, leaving small patches of high pitched digital noises on the tracks if I'm recording. This also happens when I'm not recording, or doing any intense work.

    2) Other applications playing sounds, f.ex. finder or safari, exhibits weird behaviour like pausing or skipping to the end of tracks during these randomly audio drops.

    3) Most annoyingly, disconnecting the POD HD500X causes all USB and bluetooth peripherals attached to the computer to disconnect (keyboard, trackpad, external drives etc.) forcing me to hard reboot.

     

    Any idea whats going on?

     

     

    Yes although your HD500X is working with Catalina - the Drivers are not compatible. Hence the sketchy audio - drop outs etc...

    Yes, I drank the cool aid.  I bought it all.  I have a beautiful burgundy JTV.  I have the latest Helix all patched current.  I have the Helix digital cabled into a StageSource L2t for 800 watts of crap.

    I've tried all sorts of combinations and permutations.  

    I've tried no modeling on the guitar.

    I've tried 5 of my other guitars.

    I've tried a fresh from scratch amp+cab to the L2t.

    I've tried digital and analog to the L2t.

     

    I tried to follow one of those "how to setup your Helix out of the box" videos.  The dude sounds like Eddie Van Halen.  My exact setup as his sounds like some out of tune sitar.  

     

    Either the Lt2 is screwed up - or your signal chain is. The First question is whether the Helix output is set to Line or Mic and the Lt2 is matched to Line or Mic.

    I have a USB cable between the Helix Floor unit and my PC.

     

    So you are using the Helix as a audio interface correct?  What DAW are you using?

     

    Quote

     

    * With the headphones connected to the PC and microphone set to "Digital Audio Interface (2- Line 6 Helix)" , I can hear the PC (1) and record my guitar (3) but cannot hear my guitar (2). The "Listen to this device"  mic option has a lot of delay.

     

     

    That is latency - although with out knowing your DAW I can only say you need to reduce the buffer size.

    * With my headphones connected to the Helix, I can hear my guitar (2) and record my guitar (3) but cannot hear my PC (1).

    * When I tell Windows to output sound to "Speakers (2- Line 6 Helix)", I can hear my PC (1) and my guitar (2) but cannot record my guitar (3). The Helix input device stops recording as soon as I change the output device to Helix.

     

    It just sounds like your signal path is not setup correctly.  What ever DAW you use has to be told what it's input and outputs should be. This is separate than what Windows is using for inputs and outputs - although they can be the same thing. 

     

     

    For setup check out these Sweetwater setup and usage guides: Using Helix As A USB Recording Interface. Recording with Helix | Line 6.

    Let us know how this works out for you.

    What do you use for sidefills so the people that are near the stage area can hear what is going on? Unless you've got a mini line array or something, there are going to be huge gaps in where people can hear the mix near center stage and about 8' back, as well as off to the sides. If you're running something like a pair of L1 systems in a coffee shop, I guess that makes more sense, but a typical "bar rig" with a couple of 12" or 15" mains on either side of the stage isn't going to provide much coverage to the front of the room. I love my IEMs, but even when we play places with excellent sound systems, there are still holes at the front and edges of the stage area that on-stage amps/speakers fill. I'd hate to move closer to the stage to enjoy some hard-working performers just to only hear drums when I got close.

     

    Typical Setup has been s x JBL VRX 932LAP Cabinets Per Side over JBL VRX918S  Subs- with JBL VRX928LA as center fills.  OR we also use 2 x QSC K8s Coupled per side over QSC Subs with 3 x QSC K8's across as center fills.    These generally are the smaller venue rigs - larger venues we are using VerTec arrays - and sometimes Martin Arrays. Those are generally used in the 1500 seat and above venues.

    If you hold down control-alt-delete when you launch the dmg file, your PC will turn into a Mac. (Most people don't know about this.)

     

     

    Not Funny -  @craigk just do as @phil_m suggest - go back to the downloads 

    and choose your operating system.

    Actually small venues are the best place to use it since you're not likely going to be putting instruments through the PA in those situations, so you're really depending on the backline to provide what the PA and stage monitors aren't for both on stage and off stage coverage.  Obviously you still have to manage your stage volume...just like we've been doing for the last 70 years.

     

    If the whole band is sending direct (which is what I prefer in small venues) then everything is mixed

    FOH - we also don't use floor monitors - in Ears across the board - and we plexishield the drums or use

    Electronic Kits - and we have 2 to 3 ambient microphones fed into our monitor mixes to remove the isolation 

    feel of In Ears.  If you can't tell I have always disliked stage volume in small venues!<g>

    That's all true, but it's not what he was asking. He doesn't want to connect a different real 4x10 cabinet to the amp... he wants to disconnect the speakers entirely, use the preamp section of the amp for his core tone, then add a cab sim and monitor through headphones so he's not waking the whole neighborhood at 3 am. That scenario would leave no load on the amp's power section... the end result would be a smoldering 4x10 combo and a visit from the fire department.

    Oh...so he just needs something like a Suhr Reactive Load - which will allow him to accomplish his idea.

    Minor niggle...but we haven't had Stage Monitors for 70 years.  

    Stage Monitoring started showing up in 1968 - but not very good

    monitoring. And Stage Volumes weren't calmed down until about 

    1990 or so.  

     

    That said - bands should be using the PA system for everything if they have 

    modeling amps. There is no reason to fight the acoustics of small rooms.

    Hey Everyone,

     

    First off I am new to these forums so I am sorry if this question has already been answered. I had a hard time finding an answer for it so I figured I would ask.

    I just recently bought a Line 6 Helix LT and it is on its way to me. I know you can use Helix as just a pedal board with effects through a tube amp via the "4CM" (Four Cable Method), and that would work for me when I jam with buddy's. But with my Fender Hot Rod Deville it is hard to play that in my bedroom and sound good. SO, finally to the question. I was just wondering if this is even possible I don't know?  

     

    Can I take my Fender amp "head" and unplug it from the 4-10 speakers and use the amp "head" as an amp in Helix and combine that with a 4x10 cab model? then I could just output that through a nice pair of headphones and I could play my nice tube amp in the middle of the night and not bother anyone? It almost sounds too good to be true. But in my head I think it could work! 

     

    Let me know what you think!

    Yes you can. Plug the Helix into the Power Amp In on your Hot Rod Deville - then unplug the Speaker Output on

    the Deville Head - plugin a speaker cable in it's place and plug it into the  4 x 10 cabinet of your choice.

    Make sure you match the Ohms of the new cabinet to the Ohms output of the Deville. IOWs if the Deville

    output is 8 Ohms then the new  cabinet has to be 8 Ohms.
