Because the main UI is mirroring the LCD of the Helix, which doesnt have enough resolution or graphic power to render a patch with skeuomorphism sprites, as you can get with Amplitube or BiasFX and similars, which are meant to be rendered on a computer/tablet screen.

Ah ok, make sense. Tnx for the explanation. Never bought a preset, never will, so didnt know that gold pick of death :)

What is the pick of death? Error code?

Did you turn your Mac on?

Yeah, not saying I see them releasing a flying horse, but something more "multimodal" oriented, behyond the black box with a screen, buttons and a pedal archetype.

As a L6 product user/owner since their "day one", imho next flagship wont be a modeler at all, but something completely different and unexpected. I dont see them anytime soon scratching the barrel of the oversaturated modeling market.

Im also using the Capo and I cant get any of the problems above. Real time responses? Of course they are realtime, and latency is pretty good especially for small intervals. To me sounds like you are placing the pitch block in the wrong spot in the chain.

Man, I have to thank you for this! Lost 3 hours of my day because of that lollipop L6 authorization issue. I didnt do absolutely anything, just started with the DSP error out of the blue after a reboot, and none of the various suggestions around here worked out. Was going to give up 'til I've found this guide which worked perfectly. The core point here, at least for me, was to delete the two Application Support folders and reinstall. Thanks again, and another big BOOOO for L6. Just hire better coders, jesus christ. I have a huge library of plugins from any kind of developer, and Native is the only one giving me these random problems (lost the count of how many DSP erros I've got since I use Native, and every time it's a different voodoo to solve it)

I use it quite a lot, but in a very very subtle way, as it's less boring than a standard delay and if properly setup it can be a lovely sparkly ambient filler. I programmed sort of clone for the Zoia, but still rolled back my HX stomp for now. I did the mistake to jump into this firmware because I was interested in the new clean amp they added...

I confirm Glitch Delay is broken and that's fu**ing annoying. Seems like feedback is either 100% or 0%, so the block is pretty much unusable. When random stuff, unrelated to the firmware, get broken ...it does lollipop me off as you never know if other blocks have been messed up as well, so it makes me nervous with all my own presets stability and consistency. Rolling back (AGAIN).

Im pretty sure he's refereing to the OS tab in the main download section. That list of OS is indeed old as my a**.

I was very tempted to buy two FR12 but the hiss is crazy! Reminds me the same hiss I had/have in the FH1500 coming from the HF driver. Nope for me.

If people needs their damn pedals to work and look like an iPad, they should probably buy an iPad.

I put a fan in front of my powercabs. Works great.

Never heard of hexaphonic pickups? :)

If there is no enough market demand, make no sense for them to keep a pipeline just to sell a bunch of guitars, nor to start a Variax II project. A production pipeline costs lot of money, and we all know how little Yamaha cares of niches products. Also, the Variax technology is really old, so to me looks like it's the right time to move on. Im not longer using the variax tones, they are thin and lifeless for me these days and software is totally unusable on modern OS, so I dont care much anymore, but still I have to say my JTV 59 has one of the best neck profile and best fretboard feeling I have in my arsenal. Means I will be still using my JTV as a regular guitar for many years to come, and that always been the real bonus of these instruments.

Buy a 60W solderer and a solder sucker and remove the USB socket and all the soldering material from the back of the socket, on the PCB - and see if it does boot. Good luck.

They all sound garbage to me lol.

If this happened out of the blue, I'd contact support.

Don't be lazy when asking for help. We need more details about your setup and Helix connections and monitoring system to better help you. Of course what you are reporting doesnt sound right.

Point is Boss is shady with his standards, so they dont clearly states their "raccomended" adapter is a TYPE A TRS. People will just buy a cable looking like it, without knowing the TRS soldering is different, and it wont work. Since the standard is TYPE B, it's very common to buy this last one. I have seen this a million times.

No, isnt that easy. The RC500 doesnt use DIN, but TRS Type A. Standard is Type B, so if OP isnt using a proper TRS to DIN Type A, it will never work.

Have you set the MIDI PC RX correctly? (OFF/USB/MIDI Port/Both) Also remember BOSS uses TRS MIDI Type A, so you need a proper cable adapter otherwise it wont work.

Not sure what you mean, but if you are a musician and want to communicate with l6, this should be the right contact; https://line6.com/company/contact/artist/

I wouldnt connect the Helix USB to an hub. Typical cause of com stability problems.
