Have you transferred the wav file to the Stadium device so that it is installed as a Song? The New Song window in the app is a collection area for the wav files that will comprise the Showcase Song. There are limited operations that can be performed on the files there as discussed in the manual. But until the files are transferred to the device it is not yet a Song in Showcase and the associated operations (like assigning a FS to trigger Play) are not available.

Two things to try, after booting your Stadium in Maintenance mode and creating a backup: - also in Maintenance mode perform the Reset to Factory Defaults operation. Then, still in Maintenance mode, use the Shutdown button. Restart normally. Test switching presets randomly in the Factory presets. If it still reboots proceed to the next step. If all is OK then restart in Maintenance mode and Restore your backup. Test switching presets randomly in the User presets. If it still reboots proceed to the next step. If all is OK, shutdown in Maintenance mode and restart normally. - if Factory reset doesn’t solve things try reinstalling the latest firmware. Use Line 6 Central to reinstall v1.2.0.

Did you also update the Stadium editor/app?

I’m not aware of the site being broken ‘since the update was released’ vis-a-vis support tickets. Try a different browser.

When transferring WAV files from the Stadium app to the device, each WAV file becomes one track in the Song. You can transfer up to 8 WAV files at a time, meaning up to 8 tracks in a Song. If you transfer a single file you get a Song with a single track. The tracks are not editable after transferring in either the app or the device, at least not in the same way they can be edited in, say, a DAW. You have minimal editing capabilities on the device, and none in the app. For instance, you can rename tracks, or move tracks up/down to reorder them. But you can’t, for instance, create split points to create an audio gap by deleting between split points, or to create two new tracks by splitting/dragging audio clips into a different track. You need to do that sort of editing on your computer before transferring the WAV files. You might be able to drag a track to reposition the audio in the Song, for instance if one the WAV files should only be heard in the Chorus; I haven’t tried that.

That's a known bug. Will be fixed in a future firmware release. You should open a support ticket to report it anyway.

Try holding down FS6+FS12 while starting up. It’s an alternate way to boot in Maintenance mode.

I presume everyone who supports the idea in this thread has submitted their feature request officially? https://line6.com/company/contact/productfeedback/

I think one of the most frequent “write your requests down on a $10 bill” situations could be the solo singer/guitarist playing to relatively small crowds, where the atmosphere can be a bit more intimate and an audience relationship can be established. MIDI Song selection, driven by an app on an iPad or whatever, would be very helpful. For that situation, with or without MIDI Song triggers, I would really like to see a re-introduction of a feature I loved in the old POD X3 Live device: Lock Tone 2. On Stadium it would be called Lock Path B. The idea is that you could maintain your vocal tone with the Mic input on Path B while switching presets for your different guitar tones on Path A. I’m going to submit this as a feature request (again). I did submit this request for OG Helix but….. Come to think of it, OG Helix has a Preset Spillover feature that is essentially a “Block Path B I’m using if for spillover” implementation. Might be feasible to tweak it for “Lock Path B I’m using it for vocals”.

Open a support ticket to report this issue to Line 6. Include the steps you take to create/produce it.

You’re right. Sorry for my momentary(?) confusion.

Yes, you can. Set up a Song that contains a single wave file, and then use Command Center to trigger playing the wav file. From the manual: Tip: You can also use the Command Center > Song commands to assign individual transport functions to Stomp A and B footswitches and Instant commands.

Yes, the MIDI programming will need to change. This is also true for reordering Presets and Setlists. Here’s a snippet from the manual that I find ambiguous: *Note: Reordering setlists and presets will change the MIDI Recall CC and PC messages to which they respond. Now, does that mean it’s being done automatically within Stadium or does it mean that the user has to do the reprogramming? I haven’t tested this because I don’t use MIDI recall. But if it’s being done automatically within Stadium I presume the same could be applied to Songs. If it’s not automatic then I presume there’ll soon be an outcry about it with Presets!

Yes, I think you are in a (small?) minority at the moment of players who frequently respond to audience requests as opposed to showing up at a gig with a prepared setlist. I think most bands/players invite requests, if at all, at some point near the end of their gig, and at that point it’s perhaps not too much of a problem to bend down a time or two and take a few seconds to make a specific Song selection. Perhaps as you say more players will come to see this as a problem and Line 6 will respond to an increase in feature requests for this. At the moment you’ve done your part if you submit an official feature request. And keep banging the drum!
