  1. Sounds like noise floor to me, pulled from the Stomp converters. I see volume on the Stomp is at 50%, but gain channel on the amp sounds bloody high volum. This means you are pulling a lot of noise from the floor. Try turning HX Stomp volume knob to 100%, and turn down the amp channel volume.
  2. Unfortunately no. You cant disable Tap Tempo on the Helix.
  3. oh yeah, nothing to complain about Helix family. But almost everything else is being released and abandoned. This is Yamaha I know... :)
  4. Too slow pace, sloppy care for non-helix products. At this pace Hotone Audio will be the new L6 in few years. Their products, their energy and pace (and the capacity to really listen the userbase), reminds me of the Line 6 golder era.
  5. Three different machines, any attempt to make them sounding exactly the same is gonna fail. Said that, the second one (that you said it's Helix), sounds thin and muffled to me like if the guitar signal isn't completely available at the helix preamps, and in the attempt to obtain the same "tube" drive - as the other two devices - you are indeed injecting some unpleasant sparkling and harmonic distortion. You sure you don't have the Pad on? Whatever it is, the first and last sounds much better to my ears, so I'm also curious to know what's happening. :)
  6. Helix uses tactile microswitches, so you have to completely disassemble le unit, and spray a bit of deox just above the switch. This could help or not, depends if the problem is oxidation or end of life.
  7. Have you tried doing the EQ/Acoustic before the Pitch Capo?
  8. The entire OS/software/driver/obsolescence is becoming a plague really. I just moved from PC to a Mac for music, and promised myself that as soon as I've a stable platform with all my plugins, drivers and OS working fine together, I will just stop updating, no matter what. That's the only way to keep control of your stuff, without being derailed by the update/upgrade dopamine addiction..
  9. Neither, but I have many hardware controllers and two ipads, all setup to control the HX, and the Tap via MIDI works with all of them, no matter the MIDI app. As soon as you send the correct CCs it should work. Also wouldn't make any sense to drop the TAP function via midi as soon as you assign FS3 to something else than TAP, since the MIDI and the EXP, are there as alternative to the hardware FS3. ;)
  10. It does work fine but it's still an Intel process, so Rosetta will be silently running.
  11. The HX drivers arent yet compliant with Core Isolation, so they are being deprecated by W11. Try turning Memory Integrity Off in Windows Security.
  12. Hi, this is a very annoying problem that happens when something "core" changes in the system. Like for example after a big Windows Update, and yes, also after a Native upgrade (sigh). Have you tried this? (this is coming from official L6 support) 1. Disable WiFi (even with a wired connection present) 2. Launch your DAW (blank session) 3. Insert Helix Native on a track. The login page should pop up (if it doesn't, check in the lower left hand corner of the plugin). 4. Turn on WiFi. 5. When you sign in, Native gets reauthorized.
  13. Filters like wah, as well as dynamic pedals (compressors), pitch shifters, gain pedals/distortion/overdrive, they all work better just in front of Helix. So between your guitar and Helix input. FX Loop for time based effect pedals, like reverbs, echo and delays.. (or even synths like in my case :) )
  14. Im also on Ventura/M1 Pro, no issues with latest version of Native and HX Edit. Still they appears as Intel, but they works.
  15. When weird things happens, it's always a good practice to break down the problem into smaller parts. In your case means unplugging the HX Stomp from everything (so no Mac, no HX Edit, nothing but the HX Stomp alone). Now try doing the same preset directly on the unit, starting from a blank preset. If it works like I think, means something were happening within HX Edit (maybe just user errors). Also, test stock presets. If those are working, then it's something odd you are doing while editing.
  16. Moving to 21569 means redesigning the entire board and a good part of the software framework. Isn't really like swapping the cpu on your PC motherboard. Said that, I believe there would be a solid market for a Helix MKII.
  17. Latest firmware is 3.50 and doesnt create any issue with USB audio.
  18. If it runs on M1 pro (and it does as i have one), it should also run on M2. Be sure you didnt ran out of activations.
  19. Usually when that message appears Mac Os is already installing Rosetta, which happens silently and only one time. I'm saying that because as you, I've been asked to download rosetta at first HX edit launch that I aborted (same with Native), but later when I tried again, that message was gone, and HX Edit has been installed. After that I've seen HX Edit was flagged as "intel" process, so I'm pretty sure Rosetta has been silently installed without any further warning. As for L6, they will never answer that question so, I wouldn't hold my breath.
  20. Be sure you are using 64/127 (not 0/127) as Min and Max values for the CC#64. Over here is working, and my FS3 is used for stomp bypass.
  21. Read the entire thread, not just the title.
  22. Find this after a simple forum search ;) There are many solutions in this thread, just read it entirely.
  23. Man, you need to provide some better description if you want some help. :) If you are using Helix as audio interface, there is nothing different than any other audio interface. Too much latency? Try a smaller buffer size, or an higher sample rate. Clicks and pops? Optimize your sistem for real time audio. Dont use USB hubs.
