in fact there is a similar tool for Windows: https://vb-audio.com/Cable/ After installation it will provide additional devices in the Sound Control Panel -> 'CABLE Input' as a playback device and 'CABLE Output' as a recording device. Setting 'CABLE input' as the Standard Playback Device for all sound output and 'CABLE Output' as Standard Recording Device (or make Zoom do the recording from 'CABLE Output' explicitly) should do the job.

Helix LT: Wah block engaged, Volume block gets focus

Well, my ticket is still open - 2 weeks have already passed since my last reply ('not satisfied with the solution/explanation...'). I'm still hoping that the 2nd level support will take care of my ticket...- 15 replies

Helix LT: Wah block engaged, Volume block gets focus
Blumi_guitar replied to Blumi_guitar's topic in Helix
No, no, we're talking about exactly the same thing. The focus is not the main problem. Here is what I wrote: For some reason the processor of my ticket completely ignored the fact that the wrong block is displayed in the lower part of the display. I guess I need to emphasize that my complaint is mainly about the block shown in the display. I don't really care about which block got the focus. In my opinion, there are virtually 2 pedals, between which you can switch with the toe switch (Exp 1 & Exp 2). Therefore, the display should be updated accordingly when switching.- 15 replies

Helix LT: Wah block engaged, Volume block gets focus
Blumi_guitar replied to Blumi_guitar's topic in Helix
Well, Support basically says 'It's not a bug, it's a feature' Apparently the same applies for the block shown in the lower display part :-( Not sure if I should accept this answer...- 15 replies

Helix LT: Wah block engaged, Volume block gets focus
Blumi_guitar replied to Blumi_guitar's topic in Helix
Update: the Factory Reset unfortunately didn't fix the issue. New observations: I can reproduce the issue e.g. with preset 01A (US Double Nrm) of setlist Factory 1. However, here it's the Wah block that remains visible in the lower display and has the focus in the signal flow even if EXP 2 (Volume block) became active the issue occurs only if Global Settings -> Footswitches -> Stomp Select is set to either "Press" or "Touch and Press". The factory default setting, however, is "Touch". With setting "Touch" or "Off" the display remains unchanged when the toe switch is pressed. I would be grateful if anyone could confirm this behavior with the Helix LT.- 15 replies

Thanks! Yes, I'll try a Factory Reset. Hopefully this will fix the issue!- 15 replies

Helix LT: Wah block engaged, Volume block gets focus
Blumi_guitar replied to Blumi_guitar's topic in Helix
Thanks a lot for your solution proposal! I did as you described, - including the SAVE step. However it didn't fix the issue on my Helix LT. Then I tried Bypass assign to EXP 1 / EXP 2 instead of to EXP Toe for both Wah and Volume blocks. With this setting none of the blocks gets the focus or is shown in the lower part of the display. Very strange...- 15 replies

I wonder if this is a bug: Prerequisites / basic settings: Wah block assigned to EXP 1 (toe switch, inactive) Volume block assigned to EXP2 (toe switch, active!) Preset was saved with the focus on the Output block (could be any other block, though), i.e. Output block is shown in the bottom part of the display when the preset is loaded --------------------------------------- now I press the toe switch to activate the Wah block (EXP 1) -> the red LED lights up -> Wah block becomes active, Volume block inactive but the lower part of the display now shows the name and parameters of the Volume block and the Volume block in the signal flow window got the focus (light gray frame) I observed this behaviour before and even after the recent update to firmware 3.71.0 I've tried other presets and other settings, e.g. engaging the Wah depending on the Expression pedals position, but the error persists. Each actuation of the toe switch brings the Volume block up on the display, regardless of whether EXP 1 or EXP 2 has been activated Can anyone comfirm or deny this behaviour? Is it of any use or is it just an error?

I really appreciate your answer. Sorry for being inaccurate in my description. Let me elaborate on this: I am basically using a downloaded preset that consists of an amp, a cab, an EQ block and a Compressor (always on, not assigned to foot switches). I added distortion blocks of my choice and finally wanted to boost the overall volume for lead parts. So instead of adding another EQ or gain block just to increase the loudness I decided to use one of the above mentioned (always on) effect blocks. I assigned the 'Level' parameter of the last block in my signal chain to a foot switch that now toggles the 'Level' value between 0 dB and +6 dB. As described above I can change the LED ring color of the foot switch to any color but the block color remains grey. I was just suprised because a block usually takes the same color that is chosen for the LED ring (if 'Bypass' is assigned to a foot switch). But maybe this behaviour is intentional to emphasize that it is not a Bypass on-/off switch.

In stomp mode (aka Performance View) the effect block (e.g. of an EQ) turns gray as soon as I assign its parameter 'Level' to a footswitch. Of course I can select another color for the LED ring of the footswitch, but the block still remains gray. Is there a way to change the color of an effect block in this scenario? Of course it works properly if I assign the 'Bypass' function to a footswitch, i.d. the block appears in the same color as the footswitch LED. The issue is with the Helix LT running the most recent firmware. P.S.: I found an old posting from 2017, that basically addresses the same issue, but it doesn't really provide a solution

Global Settings > Display > Tap LED deactivating the 'Tap LED' setting should do the trick https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a4010c935bb66a4c0c44f/application/pdf/HX Stomp Manual - English .pdf page 43 I don't think you can assign a different function to the Tap Button. Afaik this is only possible with the Helix Floor. I own an Helix LT and it doesn't support it

Using different sounds while keeping overall volume consistent ?
Blumi_guitar replied to vincentm77's topic in Helix
The 'Free Orban Loudness Meter' https://www.orban.com/freeorbanloudnessmeter might be useful to adjust the output level of different presets/snapshots. There is an explanation on Youtube: https://youtu.be/P6U_kq0Nu2o and a video I found on https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/382916-how-do-I-use-a-loudness-meter-to-set-peak-level-to-12dB-before-capturing Actually, I used the values of 'ITU BS.1770 Short Term & Integrated" and 'Reconstructed Peak' to level the output
