Assigning 2 Blocks to One FS - LED and Screen Question
datacommando replied to gpicard5's topic in Helix
Ah, ha, - that will teach me to watch a video all the way to the end. From what I did see, while he was switching between the Architype Clean and Lead blocks they were still using the stock LED colours for Amps. It looks like at some stage he decided to add a trem block to one of the amps making the FS a “multiple” assignment and it picked up on the LED Blue from the Mod block. I’m not sure how that functions on the HX Stomp, but on my Helix floor when you add/merge another effect to a FS, the “Scribble Strip” will display “Multiple”. There is then an option to “Customise” the FS text and LED display to suit whatever you want it to show. Once again, it would appear you have come to the rescue by building a preset for the OP. Almost like the Lone Ranger! Hi ho Silver away! -
Assigning 2 Blocks to One FS - LED and Screen Question
datacommando replied to gpicard5's topic in Helix
Hi, Here ya go - 2 amps, 1 FS, HX Stomp. Hope this helps/makes sense. -
Hi, When asking for assistance from other users, it’s a big help to know what computer and operating system you’re using, also what version of HX Edit and Firmware along with your hardware device type. As you managed to post your “help” request, it would seem that you are able to login here without issue. When weird stuff starts to happen you really need to start from basics. Download the latest and re-install the latest version of HX Edit and try again. It’s generally not a bug if it only happens to one person. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, You appear to be suffering more than necessary to get this update done. Follow this link, read it thoroughly, and follow the instructions given. Take Note: this installation technique described within was for an earlier version of the Firmware. Any references to version numbers should be the very latest available for the new 3.70 Firmware. The method for “Offline” updating is identical. The issue of The Mac “Gatekeeper” security blocker is also covered in this walkthrough. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Current Computer Operating Systems Available for Helix
datacommando replied to maxoz's topic in Helix
Ah!… yes, of course. That is like everything else throughout this forum - no housekeeping, no real moderation, and never updated. I guess we’re lucky that the Downloads option ever evolved beyond Mac OS 9 and Windows 98. -
Current Computer Operating Systems Available for Helix
datacommando replied to maxoz's topic in Helix
Hi, I’m not sure where you got that idea, because they are available:- from the Downloads page for the 3.60 Firmware Compatible OS: Mac OS X, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS Mavericks, Mac OS Yosemite, Windows 10, Mac OS El Capitan, macOS Sierra, macOS High Sierra, macOS Mojave, macOS Catalina, macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey, Windows 11, macOS Ventura, macOS Sonoma Picked out in red to make them more obvious!

How to make Lucasfilm THX ish sound with oscillators?
datacommando replied to bob_stevens's topic in Helix
Hi, Sadly, no. Your HXFX can only handle a signal chain of 9 blocks, and this Preset uses all 4 paths in the larger dual processor Helix units. -
Hi, AFAIK, this is a hardware issue, the HX Stomp only has 3 onboard switches and the option to add another external pair -these are then assigned via the Global settings to FS4 & FS5. The larger Helix models already have lots of foot switches available and there is no facility to add FS13 & FS14 within the Globals. As you specifically mentioned that this could be beneficial to you when using the Looper, your Helix has a couple of options already available that you could consider, and I would think that both are equally viable options. First:- simply add a dedicated external looper designed for performance. I have various ones that have lots more loop time and tricks than the onboard one. For example - loading backing tracks, drum tacks, timed fade outs, dual loop channels etc. Secondly, and possibly more versatile, is a MIDI Control device. There are several different models available and those from Morningstar seem particularly popular among HX users. https://www.morningstar.io/mc6-mkii The loopers in HX family products have the facility to be controlled via external MIDI - see the Owner’s Manual for each unit. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Yes, that is a good example of what I was experiencing in both my floor unit and HX Native. As mentioned in my earlier post, playing back a pre-recorded fully processed track alongside the original DI dry audio through the same preset in Native, they sounded correct, until any change was made to the Time or Delay divisions which then totally messed up the Glitch Delay. Thanks for checking this out and passing it to the developers. Regards

Hi, This cropped up elsewhere in here only a day or so back - this is a what I said in reply. As you have already realised, 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”). If you think it’s bad in here, you should check the Helix Native forum. The last mention of an update in there was from Digital_Igloo (Eric Klein - Chief Product Design Architect at Yamaha Guitar Group, Inc. / Line 6 / Ampeg), way back on January 25th 2018. It’s like the Land That Time Forgot! in here. Hope this helps/makes sense. Basically, if you want to know what’s happening, you need to check either the Digital & Modelling section of TGP, or the Helix Family Group over on FarceBuck.

Hi, Yes, I just checked with my Helix floor and it does appear that the Glitch Delay is suffering from some sort of "glitch". Obviously, as the update is exactly the same, this also affects Helix Native. The thing that is really strange about this is, I loaded up an old project that featured a "Glitch Delay" into Logic Pro which had both a fully processed stereo recording along with a dry mono version of the track. I set Helix Native to play back using the same preset that I had used in the Helix. Cross fading between the original and the re-amped Native track, they seemed identical, until I made any change to the Time or Delay Divisions, etc., within Native then the Glitch Delay would not function as expected and went screwy. I then tested the same preset in Helix, which seemed to work fine until, once again, any change made to any of the parameters would push it off kilter and make it unusable. I am going to raise a ticket with support regarding this and suggest that anyone else who encounters this should do the same. The more reports, should make for a quicker fix - the squeaky wheel, etc.

Ah! The old bad connection scenario - it happens to everyone sometime or other. Good to know you have it working as it should. Enjoy!

Looks like they fixed the bug with Vitriol Crunch gain....

Hi, again, O.K. I realise that you have jumped in at the deep end and are trying to figure out stuff, but essentially what you have is a computer. It’s a very specialised computer designed to emulate real world amplifiers, cabinets and various effects, but a computer non the less. Generally, adding presets, either bought via third parties, or freebie downloaded from CustomTone, will not break your Helix LT, fry anything inside the box, or turn it into a “brick”. Because it is a computer, whenever you load a preset that was created in an earlier version of the firmware and load it into your Helix LT, the next time you power up the unit it will go through the routine of “Rebuilding Presets”. This is to upgrade those older preset to work correctly with the latest firmware version. Rather than buying presets, even from the 3 reputable vendors you mention, your LT comes with a bunch of Bass presets straight out of the box. With those presets, you could simply plug your bass into the guitar input jack, and another 1/4” cable from the LEFT (Mono) Output to your playback system, and you should be cooking. If you’re using a factory preset everything should just work - Ah! Yeah, if you are encountering silence, please make sure that the isn’t a Volume Block in your signal path that may be turned off (Bypassed), or set to zero! Hint: if you select the final output block of the signal path, you should be able to see 2 green VU meters showing the output level - no green = no sound. It’s kinda difficult to advise you on what is happening with your set up when we cannot see what’s going on. It might be advisable for you to become familiar with all the useful information provided in the Helix LT 3.0 Owner’s Manual, rather than blindly flail around. https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a41edfe64823e79e9cdc/application/pdf/Helix LT 3.0 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Here’s another video for Helix 101, by a trusted occasional forum contributor (Chad Huskey) - O.K. It’s for guitar, but the bass is also a guitar, therefore every time there is a guitar mentioned - just think bass. Hope this helps/makes sense. EDIT: Here’s another from the splendid Mr. Cordy.

Hi, There is this from a guy in Denmark. Not exactly from zero, but he does go through creating a bass tone in HX Edit, suitable for a Helix LT. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, It might help if you could explain what exactly is the concept of what you are trying to achieve here. I have a Helix floor, not a HX Effects, but it appears to me you are asking if you can physically move (what seems to be a modulation block) from Path B to Path A by assigning a footswitch. No, that’s not physically possible, but with a little planning you may be able to mange to create a suitable signal path. In your picture, it shows Path A (top) has a Distortion block (bypassed) followed by a Send/Return block (bypassed) and then continues to another ? block. Path B spits from A prior to the Distortion, and contains a Mod block (On), followed by a Filter block (bypassed) then rejoins Path A before the ? Block. As suggested by @silverhead in the post above, you could possibly add a duplicate of the Mod block on Path A after the Send/Return and use a switch to turn on the one in path B while the one in path A is off. Likewise, when you bypass the one in Path B it turns on the Mod block in path A. As I mentioned, knowing what you want to achieve would help, as there are stacks of ways to route signals and assign footswitches in the hardware by using Snapshots and Instant Commands. Hope this helps/makes sense. Edit: Here’s a video showing two effect bocks the toggle from one F/S.

How to make Lucasfilm THX ish sound with oscillators?
datacommando replied to bob_stevens's topic in Helix
Hi, I thought that you were actually looking for this? Snapshot 2_ No!.hlx -
Hi, Drag and drop works fine. From the Helix Native Pilot’s Guide: NOTE: Copy and Paste of presets and IRs between Helix Native and HX Edit is not currently supported. However, you can use drag and drop for these actions! Import - Drag any saved .hlx Helix preset file from your computer’s hard drive and drop it directly into a slot within the plugin’s Presets panel to import it into the Presets Library. (Note that this does not automatically load the preset as the current tone in the plugin. Double-click the preset slot you imported into to load the preset.) Load - Drag any saved .hlx Helix preset file from your computer’s hard drive and drop it within the plugin’s Signal Flow window to load it. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, 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”). This link is where you need to go to have any hope of your idea being seen by anyone from Line 6: https://line6.ideascale.com/c/ Before posting any new ideas, please do a search to see if it's already been listed. Multiple requests for the same thing will thin out the votes. Also, post your ideas one at a time. Many users don’t vote for combined suggestions. Then you should use the “sticky thread” in the main Helix forum to let other users know what your suggestions are, with links to IdeaScale, so they can vote on it if they wish. Hope this helps/makes sense

How to make Lucasfilm THX ish sound with oscillators?
datacommando replied to bob_stevens's topic in Helix
Yep, it’s an old demo preset from way back. Check my reply in this thread from May 2019. Hope this helps/makes sense. EDIT: @bob_stevens I remembered that Ben Vesco (Malhavok) has a download available of lots of old and deleted Factory Presets for the Helix completists - there you will find Helix 2.21.0 update (from 2.20.0) New Factory PresetsTEMPLATES (1 new preset) 32D: Snapshot 2: No! http://benvesco.com/store/line-6-helix/ Hit the “Download all 2.80 factory presets” link on Ben’s page Synth Nirvana! -
Hi, Check over on TGP - Digital and Modeling IIRC, Foxmeister did a quick estimate of the DSP of the new stuff using Ben Vesco’s listings from 3.6 as a base to start from. Hope this helps/makes sense. EDIT: HERE YA GO! https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/helix-3-70-new-model-dsp-usage.2513223/

Hi, Sweetwater has this:- https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/getting-started-fast-with-line-6-helix-native/ Once you have Helix Native installed, you need to create a new AUDIO track, not software instrument. Then you click on Audio FX button for the channel you're using and select Helix Native from under Audio Units -> Line 6. This guy did this video a couple of years back when it was at version 3.0 It should get you up and running. Hope this helps/makes sense
