It’s not recommended to run both VDI and 1/4” (batteries) simultaneously. The double power supply can cause internal circuit damage.

Make sure the connection is OK. Visually inspect the VDI connector jacks on both Helix and the Variax. Look for bent pins. If you see any fashion a J-hook out of a thin twist wire and try to gently realign the pins. If all looks OK, open a support ticket.

Sounds like a hardware issue, perhaps a loose internal ribbon connector. Open a support ticket.

If you aren’t able to submit a support ticket then use another contact method under the Support link at the top of this page.

I don't really know, but the sole purpose of a Split Y block (the default type) is to route more or less of the signal to each path. It's not clear to me that disabling it should route 100% to Path A and 0% to Path B as you expect. Why wouldn't it make the opposite decision and route 0% to Path A and 100% to Path B? Or block the signal to both Paths rather than just one, meaning no signal gets through at all? Perhaps disabling it simply means that each Balance parameter is assigned to Center, meaning a 50/50 split. If you disable the block that is meant to split the signal unevenly maybe it just splits it evenly.

What type of Split block is it? Experiment with the various types to see if you can get what you want.

Check out the Utility Flag option. The Tuner flag provides some control you might find useful.

Thanks. So I’m not going crazy…. at least not yet …. just a little slow on the uptake ;-) I haven’t used IRs since the OG Helix new Cab engine was released so I missed that change.

Check the Tuner Input selection(s) in the Tuner parameters. Make sure Mic is excluded.

Sorry for my misinformation. I have a recollection that appears to be false. I may have been thinking of the behaviour of Clones rather than IRs.

As long as your Helix device has a VDI connection (Floor, LT, and Rack models) and you are using a VDI cable then yes, it should work fine on computers (Win/Mac) that have not outpaced Line 6 support. The last post in this thread was more than 3.5 years ago. No product is supported forever. The Variax product line reached EOL years ago and is no longer being manufactured. I don’t know if Workbench HD has remained compatible with new OSs. If it’s not working for you open a support ticket to find out why.

I imagine you do this as you would any Snapshot parameter value. Assign the parameter to the Snapshot controller and then adjust the values as desired in each associated snapshot.

Driver installed?

Just checking ... are you using Workbench HD? That's the version compatible with the JTV series. Also, make sure you have a fully charged battery and a 1/4" cable plugged into the Variax. That's the 'On' switch.

Are you familiar with the Discard Edits parameter? That may be what you’re missing. In OG Helix it was called the Snapshot Edits parameter. https://manuals.line6.com/en/helix-stadium/live/snapshots#The-Snapshot-Panel

Correct. You can’t change the specific IR selection within a generic IR block using Snapshots for exactly the reason you state: audio dropout associated with loading new IR (DSP). It’s the same as wanting to swap, for example, specific delay models within the same generic Delay block using Snapshots, say from Simple Delay to Bucket Brigade. The required DSP swap defeats the entire purpose of Snapshots. Nor can you change Cab or Mic model selections using Snapshots. Or Reverb models, or ….

You need to do this in the User preset area, not in a setlist. When done within a setlist it simply creates a copy of the original, with the same name, on the assumption that you plan to use the same preset at different points during the set. If you want to use a new preset in that particular Setlist slot you need to create the new preset in the User preset area, use the Save As operation to rename it, and then assign it to the Setlist slot.

Open a support ticket.

That sounds more than annoying. It sounds like a flawed implementation. Surely the purpose of using Setlists is that you can navigate to the next preset quickly and easily. I think that when you are viewing a Setlist and hit the Up/Down switches the system should select the previous/next preset in the Setlist, not in the User presets area. I would report this behaviour as a bug.

Just want to check the basics….. You don’t mention your Variax model. Is it JTV or later? If not you need to be using the original Workbench program, not Workbench HD.

Are you sure the Stadium Native plugin is in a folder that is scanned by FL Studio?
