Of course I believe Digital_Igloo when he says it's not coming. I've been doing this same type hw/fw/sw development for many decades, albeit in a different industry. I'm not saying it would be simply dropping code in and recompiling to add to Helix Edit, but knowing how software is developed and apparent Line 6 modularity, it would be low hanging fruit. Think about it... We're only talking adding it to Edit, not the Helix itself. So a Windows application. Focus View interface/software has already been written for all the amp models available on Helix. All Focus View software modules are readily available, development complete. The only thing Focus View would do in Edit to interact with the amp models is 'turning the knobs' for the settings - it just does so in a very uniquely cool visual manner. The same knobs are all ready there in Edit, and we can adjust them on the fly. So the only thing that needs developing is the interface between Focus view software and Edit. It would look/act/feel just like the Stadium version of Edit. All this assumes Focus View will be available on the Stadium version of Edit. But if it's there, to me it seems like it would not take much. I also understand software development and I'm sure their resources aren't unlimited, so it's a matter of investment priorities and return. I would think there might be a business case for adding Focus View to Edit to keep Helix the premier platform in it's price range. Adding cool features is how Line 6 has kept Helix relevant for over 10 years now. Just my 2 cents...

I was wondering (location being beautiful Calabasas). Happy/fortunate he noticed and relied ... so I guess that's that. I get that Focus View is a feature to separate Helix from Stadium. But man, it would not take much to add to edit for the existing user base...

Well then - back to my original thought... If all legacy amp models are indeed included in Stadium and the legacy amps are set up to use Focus View, it would be very simple to add that functionality to HX Edit. Hoping Line 6 hears this...

OK - so Stadium will only have the 22 Agoura amp models at launch. I thought Stadium included the 22 Agoura models plus all the amps from Helix. This being the case, yep it would be some work. But at the same time think other modelers will jump on this bandwagon...

Helix already does include the hooks for focus functionality - we can make amp adjustments on Helix thru Edit presently. My understanding is that Focus View is available for all amps on Stadium, not just Agoura amps? If this is true mapping each corner to amp setting is already done, just a matter of implementing a GUI on Helix Edit. I see other modeler companies implementing this concept too, thinking Line 6 might have to do it at some point to keep up with the Jones'. Would like to see Line 6 leading the pack with Helix too, along with Stadium.

Seems like it would be a straightforward thing to add to HX Edit for the established Helix user base. Would be a GREAT tool for the non-Stadium users, and I think this feature alone would pull customers away from the other modeler/effects at that price point. Seems like it would be a good business move...

Has anyone heard if Line 6 will be bringing Focus View to HX Edit? Would be really cool for the folks who can't step up to Stadium yet...

Wanted to follow up on this: Yes I can assign the lower 3 footswitches to presets in command center. When each preset is selected, upper 3 footswitches are assigned to control stomps in that selected preset. Footswitches to select the presets need to be programmed in each preset using command center. Global Settings: preset numbers 000~127, stomp mode footswitches set to 6 switches. So this allows you to effectively program up 'banks' of 3 presets in stomp view, switching between 'banks' via preset mode, with 3 footswitches to control stomps in each preset. Pretty cool!!! Think I'll add a Dunlap DVP4 to have the complete setup in compact form factor...

USB plugged into a laptop, but laptop also connected to a KVM monitor so that's the loop. Thanks guys!

Using the same power conditioner and speaker (QSC K12.2) as my rack unit. Rack unit is clean as can be. Stomp XL hums like a mo fo when USB is plugged into computer. Should I exchange units?

Thanks Data, I appreciate the reply. I’ve watched several of Steve’s and other videos but it’s still not clear to me if the XL can be set up as I described. Seems like it might be doable, but not being able to mess around in command center with an XL myself it’d be neat if someone could confirm before I buy.

Searched for a bit but didn't come across anything, looking to buy a Stomp XL for a more compact setup than the Floor. Wondering if I can set up the XL so that the bottom 3 switches, down/A/B, switch between presets, and the upper 3 switches, up/C/D, turn on/off effects for selected preset? Can I do the above and also set up the mode switch to switch between the 3+3 switch setup described and be able to select preset banks where the up/down buttons work to select presets? In other words: Have the 6 programmable switches set up for bottom 3 to select presets & top 3 to turn on/off effects in selected preset. Then if I want a different bank of presets -> hit the mode switch, use up/down switches to scroll between preset banks, then hit the mode switch again to have switches set up for bottom 3 presets and top 3 effects. And all this displayed on the screen, of course? Thanks a bunch!

I'm very careful with these cables between the controller and rack unit. Line 6's Spider Valve also uses an ethernet cable but if you use the wrong one, a cross-over CAT-5 cable for example, you will fry the processor board in the amp...

just plugged in to my Helix floor, mic input straight thru to multi output - I see signal at the mic input and hear sound out. I'm bummed, thinking the mic input is bad on my rack? Is there a way to check/confirm? Anyone know what that costs to repair?

Cannot get any sound froguitar plus mic.hlxm the mic input on my Helix Rack. Really really hoping it's user error. preset is attached. phantom power is off, mic gain is set at 15dB (cranked it up to 60dB and no change), mic in low cut at 75Hz (tried it off also). I see no indication of signal on the mic input on the Helix rack display. Help please?
