Which, regardless of the OP's comment, isn't speaking for TGP, more to the opposite. Fortunately, there's way better alternatives these days. And as far as saying "thank you" to L6 goes, well, I'm having mixed feelings myself. In 10 years of time, they could've improved plenty of things regarding usability - but refused doing so (and some things would've come at zero development cost, such as adding the LT's screen mode to the Floor). Some things are still incredibly bad. And I'm saying that as someone who just made the Stomp the center of all things dirt in his setup. Anyhow, as much as I'm able to complain (for good reasons), I love the new amps. Some quick noodlings, straight after updating: Xtra Blue: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bcXPF3N6loGAwwM8A96mGY4y1qKQ8Vt8/view?usp=sharing Super Reverb: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gd9s9IHC302UnQY0atJGGhuTzbiTFsd5/view?usp=drive_link

The Helix is produced in China. Just as pretty much any other modeler.

So, you're saying you have a programming background and then come up with a statement like this? That's quite pathetic.

Yes, they are most defenitely working on something significant, at least I'd bet on it. But 10 year old hardware that won't generate much sales anymore isn't something significant for a company who has to pay their employees. It's really as easy as that. And believe me, I wish it was different.

I don't understand the question. Everything you may ever need is there.

Even if I wish they would do that, I don't think we'll see significant functionality updates anymore. At one point in time the HX family market will be saturated (it likely almost is), so everone and his mum have their Floors, Stomps and what not. To sell some more hardware (which is their main job) Line 6 will have to show up with some new stuff. But then, I think the HX platform is really mature and good enough for quite some years to come already. Sure, I'm really somewhat dissapointed that certain functionality updates never materialized, but such is life.

Fwiw, I just updated to Sequoia today and so far things seem to be fine, HX Native included. Don't take my word for anything, though.

Very likely, a patch isn't even needed. But I hesitate to update to Sequoia without knowing - especially without knowing I could easily go back.

Yes and no. So far, Sequoia seems to cause pretty much no issues for pretty much all plugins. Don't wanna be their guinea pig, though. Because of that, so far my way of dealing with things was to create a bootable image, update and check whether things were fine. In case they were, great, in case they weren't, I'd simply return to my image. But I just learned the hard way that this isn't working anymore on any M-Macs. They can't reliably be booted from an image, no matter how you created it. And to add to this, you can't easily go back to previous versions via Time Machine or whatsoever, either, as long as there's been a major OS update inbetween. IOW, Apple has managed to completely destroy one of the features that I always found to be most amazing. Apple and their fanboys are all like "It's because of additional security" - but nobody has provided a single example so far. Sucks, really.

Would like to know as well.

You're very welcome. Fwiw, as much as Line 6 might've messed up their update processes (apparently it has gotten somewhat better, but there's still the same issues with each and every update, just slightly less...), they defenitely deserve some props to still support older macOSes as well. Many companies just don't, asking you to run the latest or second to latest OS.

Is the parameter value displayed in white?

Unfortunately, no. Works fine here with the Stomp. I'm using it slightly different though, as I'm using one input to record, the other to monitor. As the M2 has no dedicated mixing utility, the input gain also controls the monitoring level (pretty stupid, really...), but I work around that by "wasting" one input just for monitoring purposes, hence being able to use the input gain pot as a monitor volume control.

The M2 has *way* better latency than the Helix, too. We're talking 3.5 vs. 15+ milliseconds, the former being pretty much the best in its class, the latter being the worst. So once you're as well using amp plugins straight ahead (without monitoring through HX sounds), the M2 is most excellent (in fact, it's the reason why I bought one) while the HX series devices are completely inacceptable (at least for me).

Have you tried older updates?
