Also, my original unit is on the way back to L6 after going into an unrecoverable state while trying to import Showcase files via the Stadium App. I guess you would say I have an abundance of caution about trying this again on a non-OEM card. So, non-rhetorical.

I am aware that it ships with a card but, if you are going to start utilizing the Showcase feature to import multiple tracks per song for a good number of songs, 32GB is not going to last very long. Then you start adding in loops, preset clips, samples or whatever else it will hold in future firmware.

Not being versed on Micro SD cards (types, formats, what the numbers on the front mean, if they are made by Keebler elves...etc), I have this to work with from the manual: I have two Micro SD cards at hand, photos attached, which are both XC but my pal...Google...says that XC cards should be backward compatible with HC. I am assuming that, as long as I am able to successfully format a card in Maintenance Mode....it is good to go and that the worst that happens if you were to insert an incompatible card is a polite message?

I had a similar question just related to metering. Was going nuts looking for meters and finally found the block meters in the Focus view. But there is no metering on the output block unless you switch to the Matrix mixer. Any other metering or meter views I am missing?

I had the same sorts of issues (before my unit died) and I noticed something odd which was that, even though I had automatic time sync enabled, the unit was consistently displaying a time that was 10-11 minutes behind the network time.

I don't think it's just hardware or onboard firmware issues that people are experiencing. The device is obviously phoning home for various reasons including attempting account login. More than previous devices, given that there is onboard wi-fi, this thing is going to be communicating with Line 6 servers. Proxy captures are going to happen in the cloud, not on the device. I don't know if any processing of Showcase audio files is happening in the cloud or if it's strictly handled by the Stadium app. But I think that some of the issues people are experiencing with regard to firmware updates, etc. are not just happening on the device but on the server side as well OR there is more potential for issues related to computer security like connections being blocked by firewalls, etc. I remember early on with my Helix floor unit, there was a period where I couldn't have a web browser open during firmware updates. And before the update process became pretty stable and easy through the Helix Edit app....it was a lot of reading and re-reading a long list of firmware update instructions for every release and it seemed like one wrong move and you were doing a hard reset of the unit.

Line 6 is going to ship me out a new unit. Still kind of freaked out that the thing just went dark in a (seemingly) non-recoverable way. To be honest, I don't even want to turn the new one on until there's another firmware release but...we'll see.

I did experience this also. Updated via Line 6 Central and still could not complete the setup portion for login to L6 account. No QR code, no 6 digit code, not able to enter login info manually - either during the startup setup screen or after bypassing and trying to enter in settings.

Oh it's going back...just not sure if it's going back for good.

Received my Stadium XL at 9am this morning, the unit is dead at 3pm. Spent the morning just trying to work through update issues. Still couldn't get it to show me the QR code or enter my account info after updating to 1.2 via Line 6 Central. Hooked it up to various gizmos (Powercab, audio interface, wedge monitor), started dialing in a vocal chain path then went to import my first song into Showcase, left the room during upload and when I came back - the unit was dark. Now....nothing, won't power up at all. Have reported to support and hoping there is some kind of magical recovery mode but - at the moment, seems like a pretty expensive boat anchor.

Not sure how to articulate this but a feature I find generally useful on other products is along the lines of "Update ALL Instances" functionality. Say that you have a block saved as a favorite then, edit the block on an individual preset in a way that you want to save for all instances where the favorite block occurs (even in other presets). Or...you update a preset that is saved across multiple setlists but has the exact same preset name - you would be given the option to update all instances of the preset with the same name.

My Stadium XL just shipped so - no experience with using it but, I have been poring over the manual. Seems to me, based on the MIDI implementation chart, that there are 122 (5-127) User setlists available for recall via MIDI. By routing the MIDI out back to the MIDI in on the unit (and disabling MIDI Thru), it seems like you could build a dedicated preset that would recall any setlist and then load a preset within that setlist?

I can't seem to find this global setting (last setting in Global Settings>MIDI/Tempo) in the manual: "Snapshot CC Send" On/Off. I'm assuming this enables/disables instant CC commands assigned to Snapshots in Command Center? Searched the firmware updates and manual...can't seem to find the documented explanation. Thanks

What are my options for a frozen headphone knob on a Helix floor? Was thinking of trying some Deoxit/contact cleaner first - see if I can get it to move. Saw another thread on user repair/replacement of the pot. Hoping not to go down that road, but I guess I will if I have to. Way beyond warranty repair. Don't really use the thing but - also don't like have unusable knobs.

Can't believe there's finally a Princeton. My new favorite Helix amp.
