Check out my reply to a similar query in this thread:-

This is about the cheapest available, and I mention this because I have 2 attached to my Helix Floor unit. They work just fine for me, but I’m a studio rat so they don’t have to go on the road. Hey, you could buy 10 of these instead of 1 Mission or any of the others. Upgrade to one of those later. https://www.thomann.de/gb/maudio_expression_pedal.htm or if you use Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/M-Audio-EX-P-Expression-Controller-Supported/dp/B000NLRWEI Hope this helps

Olá, Carlos Maybe you are simply having too much fun at the carnival - to get an answer, post your question to the correct forum https://line6.com/support/forum/26-spider-jam/ Hope this helps

Here ya go - I used one of these for about 4 years. Solid and reliable.

Note: The thing you describe is a feature which was enabled in 2.80 - The issue is that if you do not press the encoder quickly enough it will seem like the model list is not opening leading some, including you, to believe either that the update has a bug or their encoder has failed. Hope this helps/makes sense.

It's pointless to make feature requests in any of these forums as the Line 6 people you need to see it don't visit here very often. The solution is to go here and sign up: https://line6.ideascale.com/a/home Once inside Ideascale, type tape eater delay into the search box and then filter the search to Helix. You will find that someone has already made the request back in Feb 2018 and it has 14 votes. You should up-vote this item rather that start a fresh request where there is only you. This is the only feedback that Line 6 consider for evaluation of feature requests. Hope this helps/makes sense.

QT audio files are saved as M4A which is a compressed lossless format. As you noted - it not a DAW and definitely not suited to doing what the OP is doing with it. or more likely, it could be “psycho-acoustic”.

I really can’t see any way to achieve this with a HX Stomp. Way back there was a re-issue of an old Electro Harmonix unit from the 1980s that could do 16 second delay and more. You can occasionally find one for sale on the pre-owned market: https://reverb.com/brand/electro-harmonix?query=16+second+digital+delay Demo Video. EDIT: This will give you up to 23 seconds, https://www.boss.info/global/products/dd-20/

Hi gianlucapapa, Check this thread and see if there is something that may help, especially: Removing file "C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\Line 6\Helix Native\Helix Native.prefs"

O.K. That's your opinion, and that’s fine, but the gatekeeper thing is only a minor irritation when the software is first installed. It only needs to be done once, after that there shouldn’t be any issues with using the plug-in. It’s hardly a “life and death” situation and actually it was introduced by Apple specifically for their Operating System.. There are many people on here who are probably more concerned that Native either will not work with their hardware and DAW combination, or that Native wants to “phone home” constantly. My guess is that most folks on these Helix forums would be a lot happier with the software development team getting on with progressing the v2.9 firmware and then onward to v3.0. I certainly wouldn’t be losing any sleep over an installation challenge - Your Mileage Obviously Varies.

This is a copy of my reply to someone on the Helix forum, from way back in October 2019 - This is not a Line 6 issue specifically, as it is a thing that can occur with lots of installation routines, especially ones that have not come from the Apple’s own App Store. Quote: ”Hi, This is now normal behaviour for Apple Mac Operating Systems - you have just encountered the “Gatekeeper” which is built into the OS to protect you from malware. Rather than go through typing out the process of getting past this situation, I will give you a link to Apple’s own page on how to deal with this stuff. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202491 Hope this helps/makes sense.” Also, at the top of these pages in the second orange banner is a statement from Line 6 regarding OS Catalina and compatibility.

Not logical. No release date for 2.9 has even been announced - therefore, it is impossible for it to be delayed until a date and time has been set and missed. As noted above, you would be better off checking TGP or the FarceBuck Helix Family pages - this usually the last place to find ”firmware update” information.

Hi It appears that you are set up to feed HX Native with a guitar signal that you have split into 2 mono channels - one to the left and the second to the right. The trouble is, and many people fall into the same trap here, those “pan knobs” on the Logic Pro X channel strip don’t work as you would think. Rather than panning as you might expect, actually they work more like a volume balance. Move the knobs back to zero, from -64 and +63 and then look at the meter on Native. Have a look a this video which will probably be easier to understand and save me from typing a long complex explanation. Hope this helps/makes sense.

I was unaware of the TV thing, but, yes - somebody, somewhere will be making some cash. Sadly, it won’t be Nilsson - he died of a heart attack while making an album way back 1994 and is now in the great studio in the sky! Ain’t that just the way?

When I said “do I detect” - that could possibly have been phrased better. I hope that you didn’t think that I was making an inference of any direct copy of the album I mentioned. It was simply something of the sound you had created which for some strange reason put me in mind of that Nilsson thing, if you take my point (pun, both intentional and not). I really must dig that out and give it a listen. As you say, over the years, how many little things seep into our unconscious mind? Considering we are constrained by twelve notes, there are only so many ways that they can be strung together and remain tuneful. Luckily you found a way to do that. ;-)

It has been mentioned many times that (especially) the vintage delay could induce nasty digital clipping. In fact it was almost regarded as a “feature” of that type of unit. If you experience clipping with this model upping the bit rate helps, but the simple solution is to ramp up the “Headroom” setting on Page 2. That should do it.

Thanks for that - good work. Only had one listen through, but picked up flavours of other things. I will have another run through and be a little more attentive. Oh, yeah - did I detect a little bit of Harry Nilsson “Me and my Arrow” in there?

Hi again, Gerry, Well, lots of stuff here (and could do with lots more info), so let’s start on the drag and drop thing. Always going for the simple answer, if you can’t do 4 presets at a time, then just do one at a time. Easy! As for importing in the same order, then I would suggest that you need to import the presets in “setlists”. When you have what you require in your HX Stomp, then HX Edit will be able to export that information as ”setlists”. Edit: This is from Page 12 of the Helix Native Pilot’s Guide - Preset Compatibly with Helix Devices NOTE: Presets and setlists exported from Line 6 HX type (HX Stomp or HX Effects) devices are not compatible with the Helix Native plug-in or Helix devices. Likewise, presets and setlists exported from Helix Native or Helix devices are not able to be imported into HX type devices. However, it is possible to Copy and Paste or drag and drop individual blocks, along with their current settings, between HX Edit with an HX device and Helix Native. See the following “Block Copy and Paste” section Remember your HX Edit is simply a software librarian app that can remotely change things on the hardware unit. It does not make any sound. HX Stomp has the software “brain” and hardware to make the sounds. On the other hand, Native is the software “brain” of a real Helix that uses your computer hardware to make the sound. The fact is - the sound from your Stomp and the sound from Native are identical. Everything else in you signal chain is a variable. You have your guitar into the Stomp (with a preset you like) into a 1/2 mixer channel(s) and out to -> what? Your playback from ProTools goes out to a stereo channel of the desk then out to -> what? While setting up you are using your AKG 701 headphones? Not advisable, “cans” are great for late night listening, but not great for fine tuning and levelling your signal. You really expect to be able to balance your sound like this? If you disconnect the ProTools feed and patch your acoustic guitar output from your HX Stomp to that stereo out - does that now sound just the same as the other channel(sj? If you record your DI signal (dry acoustic) into ProTools and then don’t load Native, but simply play that DI audio back through the patch on HX Stomp, does that sound the same or different? We really need to narrow down the variables to figure this out. Suggest that you have a look at Page 9 of the Stomp Owner’s Manual which show an example of HX Stomp in the Studio Setup. That gets your audio in and out of your DAW and plays back via HX Stomp - same sound.

Nope! That’s exactly where you need to start. You say that initially you create and adjust your tone with HX Edit whilst “monitoring” through your “board and HX Stomp“. You fail to mention what this “monitoring” is? If it is not the exact same system that you listen to your ProTools “playback” with then there is bound to be “anomalies” with the sound. How are you “capturing” your digital in and what are you listening to for the output. Suffice to say that whatever preset you created In your Stomp, using HX Edit as librarian, then that preset when loaded into HX Native should be “identical”. If you are hearing something totally different then I would suspect something else in your signal chain. The preset is simply a string of ones and zeros - digital data! It defies logic for it not to be the same. As for saving a file, should you need to modify a preset, you could simply use “drag and drop” to save the file where you want. Other than that there is information in Helix Native Pilot’s Guide information on page 16, but “Using the Preset File Menu” on page 21 explains further the options of “Save to Disk” or “Save to Library”. I should refer you to this thread, but I guess you may have already looked there, because you seem to have left a comment for the OP who started the thread over a year ago. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Regarding E&M Electronics, I have used this company for a repair to my Helix floor unit and found them to be fast, efficient and reasonable priced. I hope your experience with them is equally good. Shame there are not more options for repair work through the Yamaha/Line6 official route, although if you are out of warranty, there are still many independent outfits around. Good luck

Happens here all the time! White text on a white page - now there's a novelty!

POD? ...Gone!

It would have been better to post this in the Helix Native section of this forum, but here ya go. Uninstall, then re-install and try this Helix Native—Click the gear icon/my account link in the lower left corner to open the Preferences window. From the Presets/IRs tab, click "Restore Factory Setlists" You should also find this info in the “Helix Native Pilot’s Guide pdf” which is built in to the HXN interface under “Help”. Or get it here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vyl0t55jlcd1ijk/Helix Native Pilot's Guide.pdf?dl=0 Previous Thread in Native forum: Hope this helps/makes sense.

You appear to have turned up late to this party - check this thread from post number 4 onwards: there is also this in the POD forum posted by DI, There are also a few demo movies on YouTube - here’s one:

“The truth is out there” - well, in the Line 6 POD HD forum anyhow. Read all about it in this post from Eric:
