For anyone hitting this post searching for how to run Helix Stadium on Linux, I've figured out one way to do it - but it only works if you have Wifi setup on the Stadium Install Steam Download the Helix Stadium installer In Steam go to Library > Add a Game > Add Non-Steam Game and select the downloaded installer exe Find the entry in your Steam Library and click Play, the installer should show up. Go through the install steps choosing the defaults Once that's done you'll need to find the directory that Steam puts file under. For me it was ~/.steam Under that directory you need to find where it installed Helix Stadium. For me it was ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/{the most recently created folder}/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Line6/Helix Stadium/Helix Stadium.exe. Copy the full path to the EXE In Steam right click on the entry for the installer and choose Properties... Rename it to Helix Stadium Change target to "{path to the exe above}". For me it was "~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/{the most recently created folder}/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Line6/Helix Stadium/Helix Stadium.exe" Change Start In to "{path to the exe above but without the exe filename at the end}". For me it was "~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/{the most recently created folder}/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Line6/Helix Stadium/" Close the Properties window Click Play and Helix Stadium app should start I had to cancel the auto connect, and manually type in the IP address, then click Connect (this needs to be done at the start every time) Once I did that it works as expected! Hope that helps somebody.

I'm new to the Helix side of things - are all threads an emotional roller coaster like this one? So many twists and turns, not sure I can take it.

The master volume and blend are one knob. You click it to switch modes... the LEDs are white when in Blend mode and red in volume mode.

Are you playing songs from icloud or are they downloaded to your phone. I've found that the app only plays music from songs actually on your phone.

Yeah, choosing a tone without playing music is currently not a great experience. It'd be nice to have a separate area outside of the music playing to search for tones. Overall though the app has worked great for me. I'm impressed with how stable and polished v1.0 of this app is.

"the app would lose connection with the amp" - is the only thing making you say that the fact that mod effects aren't actually being added? If so, I may be stating the completely obvious but I wonder if the only issue is that you aren't powering on the mod effects? There's a little power icon to the right in the same title bar that the effects name shows up in. In most patches I've used so far the mod effect is off initially so you need to turn it on.

Yeah, the selection seems pretty slim right now so my guess is the FAQ is right and the Andertons preview was not.
