Hi, To save lots of typing - see this. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Looking at the Helix Native Pilot’s Guide 3.80, it would appear that the function of Favorites is to simply save “Blocks” which retain any of the values you dial in as a “favourite” starting point for that particular block, You want save a delay block with settings that are different from the factory preset - for example you want a delay time 500ms with a feedback setting of 70%. Add that to a Preset and it retains the values you set. Again, by reading the user manual it does mention that Snapshots, are applied to blocks that exist within the “Preset”. ”Within Helix Native plugin, it is possible to create & customize up to eight “snapshots” within a preset.* Snapshots can store a set of options (a block’s bypass state, snapshot-assigned parameter values, and tempo settings), and then recall them without the brief lag time and audible signal drop-out typically associated with changing presets.” Then, later on page 39, there is this note. ”NOTE: All snapshots assignments and settings are retained within the current tone’s preset until another preset is loaded within the plugin. If you wish to retain all your snapshot assignments and settings with the preset permanently, be sure to use the File menu options to Save your tone to the Presets Library or Disk. The snapshot that is in use when you save your preset is the one that is recalled when the preset is loaded again.” As you can see from these quotes - Snapshots and their parameter values are applied to selected “Blocks” and are actually part of a “Preset”, not the “Favourite”. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Apparently not, see Global EQ - Page 58 - HX Stomp XL 3.80 Owner's Manual - English. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, ”Don’t know why it’s just occurring to me to make this request but here goes.”. No - Neither do I. This is a user to user forum. There are no Line 6 staff here and only very occasionally do they visit these forums - (See the “sticky comment” in the black banner stripe at the top of this page entitled “Welcome to the Line 6 forums”). Also, they would appear to be rather busy at the moment with the Helix Stadium XL launch. (Note: I’m sticking with my Helix). Oh, I really love this part of your comment - “Not much missing from these devices but this would absolutely streamline my setup.” - especially the “my setup” bit. Very considerate of you to think of other Helix users, even though we are 10 years down the line, you think Line 6 would drop everything to streamline your setup. Try posting your request over in the Digital and Modeling Gear - Helix section on TGP, or the Line 6 Facebook page and see what happens there! Jeeziz, I despair! Hope this helps makes sense

Hi, It’s not quite clear from your post if you did a clean install on the new MBP, or if you went through the Migration routine of transferring the files from your previous Mac. Either way, it seems that something has screwed up. You might want to check trough these couple of threads to see if it can get you functioning once again. See my comments about deauthorising your old computer, then the info about doing a clean reinstall of HX Native. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Lots of options of scenes with variations of amps and FX, but limited to having only 4 blocks available in the signal path - eg: Overdrive/Amp/Delay/Reverb. Who is this stuff aimed at? Nope, not for me, they are all becoming very similar, especially all those cheapo Chinese boxes. Likewise, the Stadium units that look like Line 6 decided to resurrect an updated version of the old Stagescape mixers and bastardise a OG Helix by gluing it on as an afterthought, along with some capture function - I will stick with the Helix floor, it will probably last another 10 years, just fine.

Oh, yes they have! Follow the advice given in the post above - check The Gear Page website, or the Facebook Helix Family group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/line6helixusergroup/ Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, I’m not sure, but you may be experiencing this (link below). It was mentioned that there might be a bug, although the comment from @codamedia says that the issue did not happen on his hardware LT and Stomp, which seemed to indicate this may be more a software glitch than a real bug! Hope this helps/makes sense

Try this one. There’s a video. @PeterHamm appears to be rather busy pushing his new Helix Stadium XL to the max DSP wise, judging from his latest posts over on Facebook, but you could maybe give him a shout directly. Pax!

Hi, Nigel, As usual - a trawl through the older posts can be a big help. Here ya go! Peter Hamm has posted lots of stuff about using acoustic IRs, but he seems to no post over onthe Helix Facebook group. Give him a shout! Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, All the reasons why HX FX doesn’t have amps, or cabs, are explained in the previous posts above. This far down the line, and with the new flagship Stadium model about to launch, the chances of Line 6 adding cabs to the FX only unit are probably less than zero. Furthermore, the chances of anyone who could implement such a change are equally low. This is a user to user forum. There are no Line 6 staff here and only very occasionally do they visit these forums - (See the “sticky comment” in the black banner stripe at the top of this page entitled “Welcome to the Line 6 forums”). Hope this helps makes sense.

Hi, Helix Stadium is a different beast and according to this quote from Digital_Igloo (Eric Klein) the situation regarding the editor is thus: “Wi-Fi to desktop is first, followed by tethered USB. Can't talk about what might come after that but feel free to infer.“ You will also need to export all you old Helix presets, etc, for them to be transferred to the new Stadium unit - see video below. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, I guess you hit one of the barriers of being an early adopter of the Mac OS 26 (Tahoe). Apple updates are known to break things that previously worked without issue. A new OS every year - same old story, try complaining to Apple, as HX Edit was released almost a year before Tahoe. From the HX Edit download page: HX Edit 3.82 (released December 3, 2024) includes the latest graphic updates. Please copy and paste or open this link in a browser of your choice to view the full 3.80 release notes. Compatible OS: Mac OS X, macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Monterey, macOS Sequoia, macOS Sonoma, macOS Ventura GET DOWNLOAD Hope this helps/makes sense.

Over, and above, once more, Sir!

And then a recall notice!
