Hi, I am not entirely sure I understand what the problem is here, and your screen shot of the HX Edit preset is even more confusing to me. I have no idea why you have a Return block first and a Send block at the end. I also don't know what HX unit you are using or the the models which are in your Amp, Mod and Cab blocks. Anyhow, using what I can see in your setup I have made this preset (Bass 2 x Mono) with 2 different Mono outputs:- Guitar In > Return 1 > Amp (Ampeg B15-NF) > FX Loop > Mod (Ampeg Liquifier mono) > Split Y > Path 1A > 1/4' Out + Path 1B > Cab (1x15 Ampeg b-15) > Send 1 > XLR Out. Connect a 1/4" Jack from the Left output to your amplifier input, and the XLR Left out is the send to the Mixer. NOTE: the left outputs are mono by default. and you can collapse any path to mono by simply placing a mono block last in the path, for example a Mono Gain Block. Play around with this until it works how you need it. Bass 2 x Mono.hlx

Hi, That’s a great example of using the Helix Rack and Controller to automate things via MIDI in a DAW. Although, I rather had the impression that the OP thought it was possible by using the controller only, going by this comment:-

Hi, To do what you are describing the FBV MkIII is the easiest option, as it does all the things you mention and has the Editor. Lots of other Helix users have one patched into their DAW for plug-in operations. The Line 6 Controller for the Helix Rack is not designed to work like you are hoping. It requires the Rack hardware to work. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Yup - correct. That is the answer to both your points. Hope this helps/makes sense. ;-) Check out young Mr. Cordy messing around with this one.

Hi, See Helix Owner’s Manual - page 66 - Global Settings > Footswitches https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a3f041b611d61cac763b/application/pdf/Helix 3.0 Owner's Manual - Rev F - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense.

Thank you, sir - astonishing amount of work you have put into this endeavour. And as we firmware users say, “Yay, update!”

Ah ha! Now you mention Rosetta, maybe you should read this post from Line 6 Tony:- @PierM also had a post regarding Rosetta and Helix Native. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, I’m with @PierM on this one - No Line 6 Product recognised by the Mac, yet fully functional on your Windows machine. That has to be a problem for an Apple tech, not Line 6. When screwy stuff just starts to happen, you have to ask yourself, “what changed?” My guess would be that your MB did an auto update to the System software while you weren’t looking. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hello again, I posted a reply with the answer you need to the thread you started asking this very same question. The answer has been there for 24 hours. Right here:- The truth is out there!

Yes! This from 2016:-

Ah! You beat me to it! ;-)

Hi, As noted by @silverhead in the post above your Exp can send MIDI CC using the 5 pic DIN MIDI Out of your HXFX to the TRS MIDI In on the Chase Bliss Mood Mk2. Check the HX Effects Owner’s Manual for detail of MIDI implementation. Hope this helps/makes sense.

That would be worth checking out, but I created a very simple preset using the same amp/cab block on my Helix. The OP has loaded that and encountered the same problem, which seems to only happen with the open back cab models - the Open Cast and Open Cream. Both of these are new cabs which were added in the v.3.6 firmware. Very strange.

Hi, Josh, That is the weirdest thing - all the other cabs work fine apart from the Open Cast. That really is digital voodoo. Anyhow, here are the full set of Reset Options for your HX Stomp XL from the Line 6 Knowledge Base on here. HX Stomp XL Hold these button combinations while powering up the HX Stomp XL: 1. FS ^, C & D: clears all presets/IRs 2. FS ^+C: resets presets and IRs 3. FS C+D: factory restore (globals, presets, IRs) 4. Page >: Update mode. This update mode is helpful if the update is interrupted, and the HX Stomp will not boot properly. You will see a blank screen (no visual feedback on the display). 5. Upper & Lower Knobs: Rebuild presets. Wait for "Will Rebuild Presets..." to appear and let go. (This site is always worth looking at:- https://helixhelp.com/tips-and-guides/universal/reset-options#hx-stomphx-stomp-xl) My best guess in this situation would be to go for option 5, Rebuild Presets. This should have been invoked automatically after the Firmware Update finished and your unit reboots. It’s one of those things that is necessary to upgrade all your presets to the latest format. You should also see the “Rebuilding Presets” on screen when you power up after loading any older version presets downloaded from any third party or places such as CustomTone. If this doesn’t resolve this, I suggest you contact Customer Support, because this is such an odd thing. Hope this helps/makes sense. EDIT: I just realised that there is a Factory Preset in the Stomp XL that uses the Grammatico GSG, located here: 10D [039] DIR:Gram GSG It may be worth checking if that preset uses the same cab block and if the same issue arises. Plus: have you tried creating a preset that uses that amp, but with a separate open back cab block? Keep us posted

Yep, that’s perfectly fine, no problem with that. It just that it simply seemed like a random quote, aimed at no one in particular, dropped into a dead thread. Hey, ho!

Same here re: buying stuff, but the yellow guitar pick has featured in a few posts, mainly due to some issue with the Marketplace and licensing of the preset or IRs in the pack. This might be likely to be something to do with the Mac. As far as I can tell he must be on OS Monterey at the very least, going by the icons in his taskbar. Strange to note that even though he posted this problem yesterday, the screen shot is actually dated the afternoon of the 4th of May. (May the Fourth be with you!) It could also be that although he says he updated and reset, but didn’t mention if the box went through the “Rebuilding Presets”. Possibly that could explain the glitch with only that particular cab.

Hmm... Interesting idea, but who is it aimed at, almost seven years later than the previous posts?

HI, You are running a Mac, but didn't say what OS you have installed - There has been some issues with some of the newer Macs failing to download and install v3.60 HX Edit. Please check that both your HX Edit and Firmware are on the same version - In fact if you are running Ventura 13.3.1(a) you definitely should download and install the Bug Fix version of HX Edit 3.61. - well do it anyway! I have just loaded a Firmware v3.60 Grammatico GSG and 1x12 Open Cast Amp/Cab block (stock settings) along with a Ping Pong Delay, a Dynamic Hall Reverb and LA Studio Comp. It works just fine for me, although there are no Snapshots in the preset. I have uploaded it (Gram 3.60.hlx) here for you to download and see if this has the same issues. Gram 3.60.hlx Hope this helps/makes sense

Hi, It’s a Marketplace item - the yellow plectrum icon is a clue, but I checked and it’s listed there. There is nothing particularly complex about the preset, although it was created for FW. 3.5, and the OP says he has updated to 3.60, plus done the factory reset. Most strange that it works with a different cab? Maybe a mismatch of HX Edit and Firmware revision. Note: Bug fixed HX Edit 3.61 available to download now! Dunno, what to suggest, but if it was me, I would contact Support, or possibly Jason directly.

Ah, now it makes a little more sense because your HX FX doesn't have the USB audio interface function, but if you did change to the HX Stomp, you would be losing 3 footswitches. Plus, I'm not sure how this works, but as the registered owner of the HX effects you may be entitled to a discount on the Helix Native plug-in. Then you could add a cheap Audio Interface into which you could Direct Inject your dry guitar and have all the benefits of re-amping with a full Helix in your recording software. Best of both worlds? Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, I find your question rather confusing. If you have an HX FX that doesn’t interfere with the natural sound of your amp, then why do you want to change? Surely the whole point of the HX Stomp is the fact it contains “amp modelling” that allows you to totally modify the tone of your existing amplifier. If you never intend to use this option, there seems to be little point in swapping to a Stomp version. If you decide to buy a Stomp, then depending on how you set it up with your amp, you could use it as an FX only box (which is identical to your HXFX), or use the various modelled preamps into your amp using 4CM - to save on typing, please see the reply from @rd2rk in this post. Like @PierM in his reply above, I have no real idea what of you mean by “Does the hx stomp work in the same way or it's like the pod hd 500 I had some years ago?”. They are both multi effects units with built in amp modelling, although the Helix is far better at modelling. (I still have a POD HD500 lurking around here somewhere).

Hi, @brue58ski is correct- see page 36 of the HX Effects Owner’s Manual - Assigning Switches in Signal Flow View. You can set the switch to “None”, and then moving the EXP either engages or bypasses the Volume block. The Manual is your friend. https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a411710a6112a67116f0b/application/pdf/HX Effects 3.0 Owner's Manual - Rev C - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense.

Yup! You sure are. Why is it not possible to route path 1 to path 2 in stereo? - It is! Why is it not possible to mix a signal from path 2 into path 1 or vice versa? - It is, well - it is if you mean mix from 1A to 1B and back, or 2A to 2B and back. Theoretically, you could take the output of path 2 via a send and bring it into path 1 on a return. But why the hell would you ever need to do that? Insane, just plan ahead. Why is it not possible to make a different mix for different outputs? - It is! You need to go back and study the manual - again. Your Helix has 4 stereo paths available - Path 1A & 1B plus Path 2A & 2B - See Template example 04A for all 4 paths in use with each path being sent to 4 different output options. If you have something grayed out it means you have exceeded the DSP available for what you are trying to achieve. Page 15 Helix Owner's Manual - IMPORTANT! If you encounter items in the list that are grayed out or unavailable, this means the current path (1 or 2) cannot accommodate that category, subcategory, or model. See "Dynamic DSP" Dynamic DSP info is on page22 I have been using my Helix for almost 8 years and cannot remember the last time I ran out of DSP. I suggest you might want to reassess your approach to how you set up a preset.

Ah, the dreaded :-28 Error Code in red on the top left of the screen! There was a whole thread started about this, from way back in 2017, see if there are any clues in there. I would be tempted to boot into Safe Mode and do a re-install of the latest firmware. Failing that raise a ticket with Customer Support and let us know what happens. Hope this helps/makes sense.
