Hi, For equalising input levels between different instruments you might want to take a look at this - not cheap, but very reliable. https://www.lehle.com/lehle-3at1-sgos And here is an explanation @ 1:20 Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi Jeff, Welcome to Helix, but even if there was a file chopper that you could process your library of POD HD500X presets through, you probably wouldn’t even get close with the resulting sounds. The Helix and it’s audio engine are a completely different animal. I fell into the trap of trying to copy some of my old HD 500 tones, by loading them into the POD HD Editor and copying the settings across into HX Edit - an exercise in utter futility. Life’s too short for that sort of stuff. I think you should read this from way back in 2015. Hope this helps/makes sense.

is there new stuff in the Factory 1 & 2 that I have missed out on ?
datacommando replied to dave8456's topic in Helix
Hi, There is absolutely no reason why export FACTORY 2 as a bundle is not mentioned, other than, possibly because the majority of the Release Notes are a "cut 'n' paste" job from earlier versions. That text block is the same as the one on the notes for Firmware version 3.50. I guess they must realise that if you're clever enough export FACTORY 1 presets as a bundle, then you will surely be smart enough to be able do the same for whatever other setlist you wish to save. It might be useful to read through the HX Edit Pilot’s Guide 3.80 > pages 27-29 - Creating & Restoring Complete Device Backups, and Extracting Files from a Backup. You can access the guide by clicking on the Question Mark icon in the lower left corner of the HX Edit GUI window, from where you can download a pdf of the information. Hope this helps/makes sense. -
Hi, New to Helix snapshots - check this:- Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Well, it seems that regular contributor @SaschaFranck knows about it, and is still not happy with the results of the update. Check the spelling on the Soldano model. See here: - https://thegearforum.com/threads/helix-3-82-release-notes-anyone-have-them.7178/ Hope this helps/makes sense (probably not!)

Resizing Window - accessing lower right corner
datacommando replied to msalada's topic in Helix Native
Hi, First off, just so you know, I’m a Mac user and ditched ProTools many, many years back. Having said that, when seeking assistance from Forum users it's a really good idea to supply as much information as possible regarding the computer and operating system version and the version of HX Native. Anyhow, a couple of things spring to mind. One - IIRC, there is the option to "Override High DPI Scaling" somewhere in the PT preferences. You could try turning that off or, secondly, go to you computer display settings and check that it is not set to something higher than 100%. Try different screen size options. That’s about all I have to suggest on this one. Maybe someone else can chime in with an idea. Hope this helps/makes sense. -
Can the HX EDITOR be downloaded to an epad or iPhone IOS system
datacommando replied to db0691's topic in Helix
I am sure that the editor cannot be downloaded and will not work on IOS system. As noted above - 10 years down the road - don’t hold your breath. This idea has been done to death, both in these pages, and over on TGP, but you also have to remember that the communication between HX Edit and the device runs over USB2. Forget BlueTooth and Wireless - those are not built into the HX hardware. IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN. Hope this helps/makes sense. -
HX Stomp : Load Preset but Change only Amp Block/Model via midi?
datacommando replied to nrkorsakov's topic in Helix
Hi, again, As you seem determined to build some sort of MIDI control unit, then go ahead and do it, but be aware of the limitations of MIDI implementation on HX Stomp hardware. There is simple Preset and Snapshot Recall, Block Bypass, Parameter Control, Tempo Sync via MIDI, plus MIDI CC. There is no facility to use SysEx. You can find a full list of MIDI Controls here: https://helixhelp.com/tips-and-guides/universal/midi Your HX Stomp is a small self contained controller, to which many users are known to have added external MIDI controller boxes, such as the Morningstar MC6 (that have external foot switches rather than knobs), but the fact remains there is no way to change/swap out (via MIDI) any FX, Amps, Cabs, etc., within a signal path. You can do lots of this stuff using Snapshots, but the Amp or Effect you wish to change must already be in the loaded signal path. You might want to have a read through the HX Stomp 3.80 Owner’s Manual for more information on what is, and isn’t, feasible with your device. If not, plug in your soldering station and let us all know when you’ve cracked it. https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afdda673cccdb61c9c/application/pdf/HX Stomp 3.80 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense. Good luck. -
HX Stomp : Load Preset but Change only Amp Block/Model via midi?
datacommando replied to nrkorsakov's topic in Helix
Hi, You may be over thinking this. Or, even looking down the wrong end of the telescope. What I would recommend you should do is create a preset with a basic amp and cab including any of the fx you wish to use to work with. Name and save the preset into a spare slot. Now duplicate that preset into several consecutive slots. Go back and change the amp/cab model to whatever you require in each of the duplicate presets and name them to suit - eg: Fender, Vox, Marshall, JC120, Matchless, etc. Next set your HX Stomp into Preset mode and use FS1 & FS2 to scroll up and down between your customised presets to audition the same effects, but using different amp cab setups. No MIDI needed. Also note that different amps can respond very differently to the same effects, especially overdrive and distortion blocks, which is one of the main reasons there are so many variations available. It seems you are trying to find a solution to a non existent problem. Your HX Stomp already is a “virtual amp switcher”. Hope this helps /makes sense. -

Hi, Oh, yes they do work - it’s the whole point of HX products. If you are failing to get any sound out of your unit, it is more than likely that you have something connected incorrectly. To save me from lots of typing, have a look at this video from the splendid young Mr. Cordy who will guide you through importing and using IR files to your HX Stomp XL. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, When seeking assistance from Forum users it's a really good idea to supply as much information as possible regarding the computer and operating system you are using. It is also very helpful to tell us exactly which 2 knobs don’t work anymore. As this thread is discussing an issue that occurred after updating to v.3.80 firmware, then, if your situation arose after updating, did you follow the instructions in the Release Notes about performing a Factory Reset and reinstalling from your backup file? A reset and restore will generally clear any glitches created during the update procedure. Hope this helps/makes sense.

HX Stomp: 2 guitars in, 2 guitars out (with separate sounds)?

Helix Floor USB signal possible to use with another interface?
datacommando replied to prskier17's topic in Helix
Hi, It would appear that the “old-school” option would be the best way to go in this instance, as the Solid State Logic 2+ doesn’t have a S/PDIF connection available. Good info about the Windows aggregation “trick” - that’s definitely going to help a few users in here. Regards -
How to use correctly the line6 HELIX output on a pc
datacommando replied to AliaS_21's topic in Helix
Hi, Since 2015 I have used my Helix floor unit as the main audio interface with my Mac running LogicPro with no latency issues. The way to do this is to connect your monitor speakers to your Helix LT and this should eliminate the latency. Until early this year I had my Tannoy Reveal 802 powered speakers connected via the XLR Helix outputs (now using Kali Audio IN-8 v2) - this is the way to go. I would also recommend recording at 48kHz sample rate, unless you really do need to run at 96kHz. You might want to check out the Helix LT 3.80 Owner’s Manual > page 72-76 > USB Audio, which explains Hardware/Software monitoring. https://line6.com/support/manuals/helixlt The earlier v3.0 version is available in French and should contain the same information as it hasn’t changed. Hope this helps/makes sense. Salut, Depuis 2015, j'utilise mon unité au sol Helix comme interface audio principale avec mon Mac exécutant LogicPro sans problème de latence. La façon de procéder consiste à connecter vos haut-parleurs de contrôle à votre Helix LT, ce qui devrait éliminer la latence. Jusqu'au début de cette année, mes enceintes amplifiées Tannoy Reveal 802 étaient connectées via les sorties XLR Helix (utilisant désormais Kali Audio IN-8 v2) - c'est la voie à suivre. Je recommanderais également d'enregistrer à une fréquence d'échantillonnage de 48 kHz, à moins que vous n'ayez vraiment besoin de fonctionner à 96 kHz. Vous souhaiterez peut-être consulter le Manuel du propriétaire de l'Helix LT 3.80 > pages 72-76 > Audio USB, qui explique la surveillance matérielle/logicielle. https://line6.com/support/manuals/helixlt La version antérieure v3.0 est disponible en français et devrait contenir les mêmes informations puisqu’elles n’ont pas changé. J'espère que cela aide/a du sens.- 8 replies
