I'm not sure if this is the exact answer, but I ran into something like this. Blocks weren't being turned on or off when changing Snapshots on a Preset I created. I tend to edit on the HSXL I've found the current editor version a bit buggy, and the HSXL is so easy to work on. On the HSXL, if you touch the Block you want to control, at the bottom of the Action Menu, there is a Snapshot Bypass switch. Switch that to On. From the Manual: Adjust the preset by doing one or more of the following: Turn one or more effects on or off by pressing stomp mode footswitches or tapping their bypass icon . Snapshots remember every block’s on/off state You can disable this behavior per block: Tap the selected block to open the Action Panel, then tap the Snapshot Bypass toggle OFF. When off, the block’s bypass state won’t change when switching snapshots.

The latest version for the Helix Stadium XL is more buggy than the original Editor, but I'm editing on the Helix Stadium XL all the time. It's way more user-friendly than the Helix OG. And, I don't get to a gig and wonder how to do something on the XL like I did with the Helix OG. I spent so much time with the Helix OG editor because it was the best workflow, that I didn't know how actually work the Helix without a computer. They were that different. The Helix Stadium XL is definitely a step up in sound and usablility.

I had this happen on a gig. I played bass direct to a HeadRush for a set, and Helix Stadium XL worked the rest of the night. Don't know why it was silent.

Thanks so much for your concise direction! Now that I know what I'm looking for, I found it, kind of buried, in the online manual. I must not have used the right AI queries when searching this issue out. However, for those of us familiar with using two EXP1 pedals on a Helix Floor, this is how the HF interfaced with EXP pedals - two plugs, two cables, two pedals, learn controllers - done. I'd recommend a change of default for C/D because others will be trying to apply the same, learned process to implement two EXP controllers.

True

The manual isn't clear on a reinstall. It only tells you to use Helix Stadium Edit, and that is only for updates. I just reinstalled my firmware by using Line 6 Central.

Try this to see if your Stadium is working. My problem seems to be a hardware issue at this point - unless it can be fixed in a future firmware update. I wonder if others have the same issue. I have two EXP1 pedals. To troubleshoot the problem, I went to an Empty preset and inserted a Simple Delay block. The Mix parameter was able to learn the EXP controllers in any combination of the two pedals and two cables. On Control C/D, nothing. I ordered a 1/4" 3-Male TRS to 2 Mono Y adapter. Both Pedals work and are learned on A and B - Mix and Feedback, but nothing on C/D. I did a firmware reinstall with Line 6 Central, and it didn’t fix the problem.

To reinstall the Helix Stadium firmware, the user manual directs you to use Helix Stadium Edit, and that's only for updates. You need to use Line 6 Central to reinstall firmware.

A picky request, but I'd like the sidebar to re-open to it's last width instead of having to stretch it wider each time.

I have a Variax and a Helix. I want to buy a Stadium. Would I be able to use the Helix and VDI for the Variax and have the Stadium control the Helix via Midi? I know the D10 will accomplish this, but I don't know what I'd get for resale on my Helix, and it could be worth keeping for the Variax if this would work.

I have an old MBPro I use for Helix editing in my basement practise space. I had to roll 3.15 back to 3.11 to restore from my backup bundle after the update. I took the Helix to an iMac upstairs, and an export with HX 3.15 worked fine. Troubleshooting the MBPro, I reinstalled Helix Driver 1.1.0, and restarted it, but it only works with HX 3.11. Any kind of import or export with HX 3.15 causes a crash

Thank You! This shouldn't require a google search, it should be in a manual somewhere. The graphic explains it perfectly. Here's another page with more helpful Trem waveforms: https://tremolo-project.blogspot.com/2017/09/line-6-helix-all-tremolo-modes-examined.html

Problem Solved - it was indeed, my misunderstanding. I don't get into Global settings very often, and wasn't aware of these settings. I set EXP 2 & 3 to Snapshots, and it's behaving the way I want. Added bonus, I'm setting EXP 1 on Global - based on codamedia's suggestion. I usually have it dimed anyway. Thanks to both of you for quick replies, and your help.

It seems a snapshot isn't what I would expect a snapshot to be. I think of a Snapshot as saving the current parameters of the Helix - or any other device - a Snapshot of things as the currently are to be uniquely saved for this particular state. I have EXP 2 and 3 pedals that control the mixes of Delays and Reverbs. On one snapshot, I want them really wet, and others, I want them drier - but I'd still like the flexibility of changing the mix with a pedal on the fly. So on the wet snapshot, I'll dial the pedals up and and save before leaving it. When I go back to the drier snapshots, they're all wet now. And yes, the mix parameters on each are properly [bracketed]. After digging and consulting a friend, I discovered that Snapshots are assigned on the Controller page - just like a footswitch or pedal - so not my understanding of what a snapshot is from other contexts. I'd like to see Snapshots save parameters that are changed by controllers - an actual "snapshot" of the current Helix state - and any changes brought about by pedal controllers. Any suggestions with the current architecture, or maybe my understanding of it?

OK. Opt-Click the number - [brackets appear] - use the arrows to change the value. I was Opt-Clicking the arrows before. FWIW, I did an "opt snapshot" search and still didn't find anything about this in the Pilot's Guide. Thanks again to all who have taken time to help. This key change works perfect and is seamless compared to a preset change.
