ouch...congrats on the new MBP at least. It's still befuddling how seemingly 99% of software companies can roll w/ new OS but these music related ones are seemingly always lagging.

tks folks for the replies. I'd failed to login for a bit and wasn't getting email notifications. I'll see if I can sort it in MainStage since it seems HXN won't fly. I don't initially see where to patch/assign the controls in the "assignments and mappings" page. I use an Apogee Gio but it should be device agnostic. peace

I use HXN for MainStage and Logic. Would like to be able to access the Looping function of HXN with MainStage but it's "greyed out". Am I missing something?

ok/tks. As feared. Helix was why I had to wait so long for the last macOS update...and it seems it will be this way again. All of my other critical apps (SMAART, VMware....) are already good. Seems odd to me that Line6 (or Yamaha or whoever is in charge) can't sort out how to stay/get current w/ these updates. As a college trained programmer, I realize there are lots of issues but so many other companies have it worked out. Peace.

I've read the Line6 post above that their things that run on Big Sur "should" run on Monterey...but am wondering if anyone has tried it. I use Helix Native with LogicPro and MainStage. TKS.

I think you're going to have to call the support number and ask the L6 people. Like I did and posted above (Jan 25)

I just had a support call w/ Line6 on this goofy -1116 error I'm getting. Interestingly when I jokingly brought up the Big Sur he did use the phrase "nearly impossible"...I didn't pry but that didn't sound promising...

maybe they'll have it ready for Big Sur when the next OS comes out...

So....4 months ago Line6 said to wait patiently for Big Sur compatibility. And the programmers knew it was coming so they would have had a head start. Any news/clue from anyone on the status of this? (unless I missed an email or can't read their website properly...which could be true!)

It's not worth the trouble @ this point...they'll get it eventually. I do run Bootcamp for Steam / StarWars Squadrons....legit!

Sorry...I did write "of all the software I use....". Completely aware that there are others but not in my direct MBP/macOS usage.

Tks for the details - I'll clearly be waiting. It is somewhat annoying (say whatever you want about macOS upgrades) that of all the software I use for business (pro audio company) and personal (logic, mainstage) that Line6 is the ONLY company that isn't ready.

Tks Sean - I DO use Helix Native in MainStage for playing live so I guess I'll hold off to be safe. Tks for the detailed answer - really appreciate it. I also have the 2019 16" MBP w/ SSD and a ton of RAM btw...great machine but I don't want to mess w/ another OS instance. It is my work computer and everything else I need is already Big Sur ok for work...but I'm not forced to so sitting still is fine for now. Tks, again

but does anyone know about Helix Native? That's all I use (w/ Logic and MainStage)

I use Helix Native w/ an Apogee GIO pedalboard and when I open Helix in the channel strip the Looper effect/feature is grayed out. Is there a way to access this feature in Helix Native? I have transport buttons on the pedalboard that would be perfect for assigning to loop controls. Tks/A
