With the 2.92 update, you can assign Snapshots to footswitches in Stomp Mode in the Command Center.
-
No, there’s still nothing to authorize. As long as you have your Stomp registered, you’re eligible for the Native discount. The only caveat is that the discount can only be used once for each piece of hardware. So if you happened to buy your Stomp used, and the original owner used the discount, you couldn’t use it. If your Stomp is new, the discount should show up when you try to buy Native. If you’re having problems getting the discount to show up, open up a support ticket.

Drive is generally the same as the preamp volume, yes. In amps that don't have a master volume knob in real life, the Drive control is the volume control (like on a Deluxe Reverb, for example). Master is the master volume. It controls the signal entering the power amp. Or another way to think about it that the higher it is, the more power amp saturation you'll have. Ch Volume, or Channel Volume, is best thought of as the overall volume level for the amp block. It has no effect on the modeling. It simply makes the sound from the amp block quieter or louder in the Helix's signal flow.

So in your first post, you mentioned setting up a track to monitor in stereo. Does that mean you're monitoring through Cubase?
-
So in all these screenshots, you have all the paths' output blocks set to the 1/4" outs. Nothing would be being sent to USB 1/2. Are you saying you're changing them to USB 1/2 when recording? It also seems strange to me that you have the cab block in Path 1A feeding into another cab block on Path 1B, but that might be beside the point. So what exactly are you doing when you record?
-
Sounds like you have something set up incorrectly. I most often record a wet and dry track simultaneously into Reaper so I can run the dry track through Native. Using the same preset, Native sounds exactly the same as my recorded wet track. Are you using multiple paths in your preset? Could it be that something funky is going on in multiple output blocks?

This isn’t HX Edit 2.92. The version number on the bottom of the screen refers to the firmware version on the connected hardware. If you tried to install 2.92 and it’s not installing, you may need to delete the old installation files before running the new one.

I think all of the Speaker Mode presets were set to -14dB or something on my Powercab out of the box. Although, that’s a moot point when using the PC with the Helix and L6 Link, as you aren’t really using PC presets. All relevant PC settings are stored and recalled in the Helix preset, completely overriding any PC preset settings.
-
What do you mean the power is cut in half? That the volume drops when they’re a stereo pair compared to when you have the output going to one? This could be expected because of the what the Helix automatically sums to mono with one connected. It should be a 6dB drop in signal per side, although the total volume of the two together should still be louder than one alone. You can compensate for the signal loss by increasing the level of each one in the output block. It seems to me that you’re being a little hasty in sending the back, but it’s your prerogative, I suppose. Sometimes it takes a little patience with this stuff. There’s a lot of variables to work through.
-
The updates are all cumulative, so everything is there. You need to update to the latest version of HX Edit as well.
-
Authorize what exactly? There’s nothing to authorize with the Stomp. If you’re talking about Helix Native, all of the authorization is handled inside of the plug-in.
-
I like mine... You just have to adjust the Helix preset accordingly for whatever mode the Powercab is in. I prefer Speaker Mode by far, I think, just because that’s kind of the thing that sets it apart. I definitely don’t find it dark as an FRFR cab, though.
-
Have you checked that both of your Powercabs are running the latest firmware? If they’re not running 2.0, the Helix won’t be able to control them over L6 Link.
-
The low and high cuts in the cab and IR blocks are 6dB per octave. In the EQ blocks, they’re 12dB per octave.
-
It’s screen printed, not a decal. Your Helix has just been relic’ed... Some people pay good money for that sort of thing.

LIne 6 needs to include the PC interface - here's why:

This is kind of a funny post... You do know that there’s a Spider V series now, right? And all of those amps have a USB port on them. So I guess Line 6 took your advice - retroactively... :-) -
You don’t need License Manager for anything having to do with the HX Stomp.
-
I used the Snipping Tool app in Windows to do that.
-
I believe it’s self-calibrating. What sort of issue are you having? Are you referring to the the on-board pedal or an external pedal?
-
On some amp models the default settings of some parameters is actually 0 or 10. Some amps, for instance, don't have an actual Presence knob, so leaving it 0 would be the default position. On amps that don't have a Master Volume knob, having the Master Volume parameter at 10 would be the default position. So I guess, really, I'll add another vote in for the 50% spot doesn't really mean much.

There's no way to do this, as it's simply not how the concept of snapshots work. Think of a snapshot as preset within a preset. It's taking the blocks and the parameters within those blocks and saving a combination of unique settings for them so you can instantly recall them. So a snapshot only makes sense in the context of preset it's in. Now if these presets you're talking about happen to use the same amp models and effects, you could try to recreate snapshots using the settings from the blocks in those presets, although, it may prove pretty tedious. Your best bet is probably trying to create snapshots on your own, setting things the way you want them.

The RC-505 transmits MIDI Clock, so all you have to do is go in the LT is go to Global Settings>MIDI/Tempo and make sure Receive MIDI Clock is set to MIDI or Auto. The Helix's tempo will then follow whatever tempo you have the RC-505 set to. As far as the delays and other effects, you just want to set the Time or Rate parameters to a note value so they'll be in sync with the tempo.
-
Yes.

Open a support ticket. This is not the expected behavior.
