I will give that a try. I am tuning up 7 STs and doing it the way I am doing in my daw does sound very good. I also just tried the Simple Pitch with not so drastic shifting (< ST up to -1) and that sounds good.

Old thread I know AND I did NOT read it all because it looked like it was going down the Shiite hole from what I read. Anyway, this may be my first post and I am pretty new to Helix. I too was hearing terrible artifacts using some of the pitching shifting FXs. I am going into my DAW using Helix Native. I found a cool Purple Rain preset that I really like. It is pretty DSP intensive so I was not able to add Poly Capo. After adding many pitch effects I was not satisfied. I then had the idea to add Native on the same track in Reaper and put it first with a preset that uses only Poly Capo. This did it for me. And to my ears so 1000% better than where I started. Maybe this was mentioned but as I said, I did not read all of the threads. Brian

Hey Joe, Thanks for the follow up. I will keep in mind what you said if this happens again. You are right, AAX is for PT. Brian

I just installed Helix Native today after snagging it for $49.99 woohoo. I got that EXACT same error. I Deauthorized my PC and then Authorized. That resolved my issue. I am on Win10 and running the most recent version of Reaper. Brian

Duh! I was right clicking looking for a Rename option like I see with Presets but somehow overlooked the option. Good to know. I also see it in the Snapshots Menu. I think I better call it a day since I have been playing with the HX for too long and now missing obvious stuff :) Brian

Hmm. I will look again. Thanks Brian

Forgot that Steve's preset has 4 Snapshots. I find it odd that these cannot be renamed from HX Edit. Seems pretty trivial to not allow this to be done in HX Edit. Maybe on a Roadmap? I suppose the Bright side is that I am learning more and more about using the HX FX Buttons to do things. Brian

After manually recreating the Preset, everything looks correct. Thanks again Brian

So I did a Restore from Backup. Seeing something interesting. I got the HX FX on 11/4. As I noted, I did a Backup, upgrade to 3.50 then a Factory Reset. I then found a Steve Harms video where he shows his country guitar setup. I like how it sounded. I loaded it into Native, removed the AMP/Cab and saved it. I then imported it using HX Edit. I have been playing with it with no issues for a few weeks now. I also did a copy/paste into a New Preset location, renamed the original and the one I pasted. I do not recall what version Steve used to create the original if that matters. After restoring from Backup, I still see the presets I added as expected. I can tweak them in HX Edit and all seems to work fine. The changes are made to the HX FX. What I see that is interesting is that if I go into Stomp mode, I only see one Block out 7 or so. I can turn it On/Off by pressing the button. I see that change in HX Edit. Now when I hold the MODE button to get into Pedal edit mode, I see all of the Blocks. In Stomp mode, I can swap the one Block to an empty by touching. So that works but I do not see the other blocks. Now if I do all of this with a Factory Preset, it all looks like I would expect. I suppose there is something in the way I created this and 3.50. Am I missing something here? I am going to manually recreate the Steve Harms Preset and see how that goes. Brian

"you need to do another factory reset as the reset should follow the upgrade." Drained it! I did a 2nd factory reset and the feature is now working. Thanks so much. Restoring my backup now. Hopefully all is well after. Brian

" Did you do them in this order? Factory reset first and then the upgrade. If so, then you need to do another factory reset as the reset should follow the upgrade. Also, did you do a backup first and a restore following the factory reset? If not, then try doing a restore." Thanks Honest. I did not do a second factory restore. I did do a backup prior to Restore. I will do another and then another Restore. If that works and I will load my backup and test again. Brian

Thank Phil_M, Re-assign blocks to different buttons. Or like you described, editing. I do not expect the switches to wear out although I have read that in the older M-series, the switches could be an issue and lots of people had the switches upgraded. So I figure using the Touch feature doesn't do any physical (wear and tear) on the actual switch, why not use it? Brian

Hello Everyone, I cannot get my capacitive switches to function properly or at all. I am on 3.50 on my HX FX. I have set the switch to Both and also to Touch. From what I understand, I should able to press a button or simply touch a button when set to Both and just touch a button when set to Touch to select. Do I need to do a save after making the change? I did make a change to Touch and then power cycle the HX FX and my change from Both to Touch was kept. I got this unit new in early November. The first thing I did was to factory reset and upgrade to 3.50. I finally got around to trying the capacitive switch feature. I actually forgot about it but was reminded while watching a HX FX video. I opened a ticket yesterday. I did google searches and forum searches but came up with nothing. Maybe I used the wrong terminology. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks Brian
