Unfortunately, production of the Lithium-Ion battery packaged with the JTV, Shuriken, and Variax Standard has been discontinued by the manufacturer. For US/Canadian/EU/UK customers, although it is not an official Line 6 part, we’ve found that the Cameron Sino battery model CS-LNE100SL works as a generic replacement to the original Gen 2 Variax battery. Performance may vary between units. This battery can be found with a Google search at multiple online retailers, but for simplicity, here is the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/LIONX-CS-LNE100SL-Standard-Shuriken-98-034-0003/dp/B0CGRT3K8X Model Number CS-LNE100SL in detail:

Is the James Tyler Variax/Variax Standard/Shuriken guitar still manufactured? No, it is no longer manufactured. Despite this, retailers may still have units in inventory over time. Why is it no longer manufactured? Typically, as with many companies, the decision to end the manufacture of any YGG product is based on one or more of these factors: a lack of market demand, a planned successor product, or because the parts to manufacture it are no longer available. What product will replace it? For a number of reasons vital to our business, we can't comment on future product releases, but follow us on social media or sign up for our email list to receive new product announcements. Why is it at a lower price? You may find the James Tyler Variax/Variax Standard/Shuriken guitar at a lower price at retailers to allow them to clear their inventory of this discontinued product. If I buy it, will you honor the warranty? Yes. The full warranty applies if bought as new from an authorized Line 6 retailer and a receipt copy is furnished. See our Warranty page for details. In what ways will the discontinued product be supported? You can find manuals on our Legacy Products page, additional information at our Knowledge Base, tutorial videos on our YouTube Support channel, and our Customer Support team can be reached from our Contact Us page.

The Shuriken is unique in many ways from other Variax guitars, one of the ways is the 4 Artist's programmed user presets on the model knob. If you want to replicate the artist's setup you will have to tune the low E string down to D, which will make the custom tunings sound correctly in the USER and SHURIKEN banks. None of the other banks contain tuning offsets and assume that the guitar is tuned to standard E. If you want to load the presets with their respective custom tunings, make sure to set the Alternate Tuning Knob to the MODEL 7 position. If all that is a bit too much ninja for you, feel free to keep the guitar in standard E and set the Alternate Tuning Knob to STANDARD or any of the other tuning presets. Note: If you perform a factory reset of the Shuriken, it will default to the standard JTV model pack.

GENERAL FAW What is Shuriken Variax SR250? The Shuriken Variax SR250 guitar is the newest addition to the Shuriken Variax family. Like the longerscale Shuriken Variax SR270, it resulted from collaboration between Shuriken Guitars, Line 6®, and Yamaha® Guitar Development. The Shuriken Variax SR250 is a modern, high-quality instrument featuring a unique body shape with contoured edges, a traditional 25.5" scale length, an Indian ebony fretboard, a custom mid-gain humbucking pickup, and all of the sonic versatility provided by Variax HD technology. The Shuriken Variax SR250 comes with a Shuriken premium padded gig bag. Why did you make the Shuriken Variax SR250? The response to the original Shuriken Variax SR270 guitar has been overwhelmingly positive. Soon after the launch of Shuriken, many fans of the Shuriken design were requesting a 25.5” scale version. HARDWARE I saw changes to the Model and Alternate Tuning knobs on the guitar. Does Shuriken Variax SR250 offer new guitar models? Shuriken Variax SR250 offers a new collection of instrument and tuning presets which were designed by Stevic Mackay. It does not contain new guitar models. How do I access Stevic MacKay’s presets? Stevic Mackay’s presets are available via the Model knob and 5-way switch. Please note that Stevic uses a lot of alternate tunings and we recommend that you set the Alternate Tuning knob to the “Model” position for these tunings to recall correctly. Stevic prefers the low E string tuned down a whole note to D, so all his presets assume that the low E string is tuned down accordingly. Please note that all settings stored on the Alternate Tuning knob are based on standard E to E tuning, i.e. do not require the low E string tuned down to D. Where can I get Stevic MacKay’s Workbench HD presets? All of Stevic MacKay’s presets are available in the Shuriken Variax Preset Bundle and can be downloaded at https://line6.com/variax-modeling-guitars/resources/ Does the 5-way switch affect the magnetic pickup on Shuriken Variax SR250? No, the analog guitar signal is affected by the volume and tone knobs, but the single humbucker pickup output is intentionally the same signal regardless of the position of the 5-way. This enables the magnetic pickup sound to be combined with any Variax modeled sound (when using VDI to Helix or other Line 6 products) without the magnetic tone being altered based on the model selection. VARIAX WORKBENCH HD Will there be a new version of Workbench HD software, and what changes will it include? We will release an update to Workbench HD that recognizes Shuriken Variax SR250 and displays the Model knob “banks” correctly. You can download it here: https://line6.com/software/ Will I need to install the newest Workbench HD application in order to work with Shuriken Variax SR250? While we recommend that you update Workbench HD, it is not required. Older versions, provided that they work with JTV and Variax Standard guitars, can be used in tandem with Shuriken Variax SR250. Please note that older versions will not show correct bank names. Can I change the models and/or tunings using Variax Workbench HD? Yes, like all other Variax Standard and JTV models, each preset and tuning location can be customized to your liking. Can I use Shuriken Variax SR250 with Helix? Yes, Shuriken Variax SR250 is compatible with Helix, POD HD, and Firehawk, as well as limited compatibility with POD xt, POD X3, VettaTM II amplifier and other legacy Line 6 products.

A: JTV guitars use a lithium-ion battery similar to that of a camcorder. A fully charged battery can deliver at least 12 hours of continuous performance. There is a four light battery life indicator on the battery compartment on the back of the JTV guitars that can be viewed by pressing the round flush black button next to the lights. 4 LEDs = 9+ hours 3 LEDs = 6+ hours 2 LEDs = 3+ hours 1 LED = less than 3 hours 1 LED blinking = less than 1 hour, recharge battery Note: Using a non-Line 6 JTV battery will void your warranty and may damage your JTV. Q: How can I power my JTV without a battery? A: There are 2 ways to supply power to the Variax without a battery. When connected to VDI Digital Input equipped hardware, such as a POD X3 Live, power is supplied via this connection. Or, use the optional XPS-DI direct box/power supply and TRS cable. With this box you can power the Variax and it also works as an A/B box to send your signal out of a DI to go direct to a board or acoustic amplifier with certain models. When powering the JTV guitar with either TRS or VDI connection, it is suggested to remove the battery from the guitar. Q: How long does it take to fully charge a dead battery for the JTV guitars? A: It takes about 12 hours to fully charge a dead JTV battery, but leaving it to charge overnight is a good time to do this. You can get a 4-6 hour play time by charging the JTV battery for 30-45 minutes. Q: What does the indicator light mean on the JTV battery charger? A: A solid RED light on the charger indicates that the battery is charging. A blinking RED light means that either the batter is fully charged, or the battery was inserted improperly into the charger and needs to be re-seated properly. If you know the battery needs charging and you get a blinking RED light when it is put into the charger, please re-seat the battery in the charger. Tuning Gears JTV-59US and JTV-89US guitars will have Hipshot Classic Guitar Tuning Machines. They are sleek, precision-built tuners with an ultra-smooth 18:1 gear ratio. The JTV-69US guitars feature the Hipshot Grip-Lock Locking Guitar Tuning Machines that are staggered in height for maximum tuning stability. For the Korean James Tyler Variax guitars, we went with 16:1 sealed tuners on all three models. They are die-cast, modern-built, solid tuners. They are sealed permanently and lubricated to work smoothly for years to come without slipping or binding. As with the JTV-69US, we went with locking and staggered versions of these 16:1 sealed tuners. As with the staggered locking tuners, the locking pole pieces within each tuner are staggered as well to match the size the tuner. They are measured 23.4mm (x2 forlow E/A strings), 21.9mm (x2 for D/G strings), and 20.4mm (x2 for B/high E strings). New HD Acoustic Models Q: When were the new HD acoustic models added to the JTV guitars? A: The new HD acoustic models were added in firmware 1.81 and are included in all newer firmware versions of the JTV guitars after that. Q: What does the Tone knob do on the newer HD acoustic models on the JTV guitars? A: The Tone knob on the new HD acoustic models is used to adjust the amount of body resonance for the model, but it was also specially programmed to have the top 10% of the Tone knob completely remove this resonance (at the 90-100% position) for those that prefer to remove that sound from the new acoustic models to closely resemble the flat nature of the older acoustic models from previous Variax guitars. Alternate Tuning Knob Q: How does the Alternate Tuning Knob on the JTV guitars work? A: The Alternate Tuning Knob on the JTV guitars can be used to any of the preset tunings that are saved to the knob. This knob has 12 settings including two labeled 'Model' and 'Standard' Set to 'Model,' the Alternate Tuning Knob lets you access the alternate tunings you created using the Variax Workbench software. These tunings are stored on your Variax's Model knob. Set to 'Standard,' the Alternate Tuning knob overrides saved tunings to set every model to standard EADGBE tuning. The Alt Tune knob's remaining 10 settings are hand-picked for each stle of James Tyler Variax guitar. Q: How do I reset the tunings? A: The on-board factory tuning reset feature was removed starting with HD firmware (2.x and higher). That procedure was to plug in while holding down the model knob. To reset the tunings in firmware 2.0+, they have to be loaded from the Workbench HD program.

A: First, ensure that you have downloaded and installed the latest drivers for the Workbench interface from the Line 6 Downloads page. Then, ensure that the battery of the James Tyler Variax is charged and inserted into the guitar. Connect the Variax Workbench interface to the computer via USB, and also connect the James Tyler Variax guitar to the Workbench interface via the included VDI/Network cable. Lastly, connect a 1/4" cable into the guitar's output jack to power on the guitar (as the Workbench interface DOES NOT provide power to the guitar, this 'dummy' plug is necessary for the interface to recognize the JTV). The other end of the 1/4" cable does not need to be plugged into anything. You should see 2 green lights on the Workbench interface when everything is connected and being recognized properly. Factory Reset and Updating the Flash Memory Q: Why doesn't the Factory Reset procedure described in the manual work? A: The reset procedure described in the JTV manual was removed from the JTV guitars to make room in the memory for the Variax HD Acoustic models that were added in flash memory update v1.80. All JTV guitars with flash memory v1.80 and newer no longer have this factory reset procedure available. To perform a factory reset, re-install, rollback, or update the flash memory on the James Tyler Variax guitars, please use the following link: Variax Reflash and Software update F.A.Q. Q: If I tune physical strings on the guitar down or up on the JTV can I use the virtual capo? A: It is not recommended as it could cause audible anomalies. The guitars were designed to re-tune from E Standard tuning. Using the Virtual Capo to tune the guitar from any other tuning is unsupported.

Zusätliche Batterien, Ladegeräte und Kabel sind separat erhätlich. Batterie: Welche Art Batterie verwendet Line 6 in den JTV Gitarren und wie lange halten diese? In den JTV Gitarren verwenden wir Lithium-Ion Batterien. Eine voll aufgeladene Batterie liefert ca. 12 Stunden Leistung. Auf der Rückseite der JTV befinden sich 4 LEDs. Diese geben den Batteriestand an. Drücken Sie den schwarzen Knopf neben den LEDs um den Batteriestand angezeigt zu bekommen. 4 LEDs: 9+ Stunden Laufzeit übrig. 3 LEDs: 6+ Stunden Laufzeit übrig. 2 LEDs: 3+ Stunden Kaufzeit übrig. 1 LED: Weniger als 3 Stunden übrig. 1 blinkendes LED: Weniger als 1 Stunde übrig, laden Sie die Batterie bitte auf. Achtung, es gibt zwei Wege die Variax mit Strom zu versorgen ohne eine Batterie zu verwenden. Wenn die Gitarre an ein VDI Input gerät angeschlossen ist, wie z.B. ein POD X3 Live, wird Strom über diese Verbindung geleitet. Oder Sie verwenden eine XPS-DI Box Netzteil mit TRS Kabel. Mit dieser Box können Sie die Variax mit Strom versorgen und gleichzeitig dient sie als A/B um Ihr Signal direkt aus einem DI in ein Board oder akustischen Verstärker mit verschiedenen Modellen. Wenn Sie die Gitarre auf einen dieser Wege mit Strom versorgen, dann sollten Sie immer die Batterie erst entfernen. Wie lange dauert es um eine platte Batterie einer JTV komplett aufzuladen ? Es dauert 12 Stunden um die Batterie vollständig aufzuladen. Sie können aber schon nach 30 bis 45 Minuten für 4-6 Stunden spielen. Was bedeutet die Lampe auf dem Ladegerät? Wenn das Licht durchgehend ROT leuchtet, dann heißt das, dass die Batterie nachlädt. Ein blinkendes rotes Licht heißt, dass die Batterie entweder voll geladen ist oder, dass die Batterie falsch eingesetzt worden ist. Wenn Sie aber wissen, dass die Batterie nicht voll geladen ist und das Licht blinkt, dann sollten Sie die Batterie neu ins Ladegerät einsetzen. Zwirbel: Die JTV-59US sowie JTV-89US haben Hipshot Classic Zwirbel. Diese Zwirbel sind geschmeidig und gleichzeitg präzise. 18:1 Verhältnis. Die JTV-69US Gitarren haben Hipshot Grip-Lock Zwirbel. Die Grip-Lock sind höhenverschoben für maximale Tuningstabilität. Die koreanischen Modelle haben verschlossene Zwirbel mit 16:1 Verhältnis. Moderne und solide Druckguss Zwirbel. Sie sind permanent versiegelt und eingeölt damit sie jahrelang funktionstüchtig bleiben ohne Rutschen oder Verklebung. Verschiebungen der Stäbchen in den Zwirbeln: 23.4mm für tiefe E/A Saiten. 21.9mm für D/G Saiten und 20.4mm für B/hohe E Saiten. Neue HD Acoustic Modelle: Wann wurden die neuen HD Acoustic Modelle zu den JTV Gitarren hinzugefügt? Die neuen Modelle wurden mit Firmware Patch 1.81 eingeführt und sind in jedem neueren Firmware Update enthalten. Was kann ich mit dem Tone Knopf auf neueren JTV HD Acoustic machen? Der Tone Knopf auf den neueren HD Modellen passt die Menge der Resonanz für das jeweilige Modell an, zusätzlich ist es speziell programmiert, sodass die oberen 10% des Tone Knopfes die Resonanz vollständig entfernen (zwischen 90 und 100%) für die, die liber einen flachen Sound haben. Wie bei den alten Varaix Acoustic Modellen. Alternate Tuning Knopf: Wir funktioniert der Alternate Tuning Knopf? Der Alternate Tuning Knopf auf der JTV kann mit allen anderen Presets verwendet werden wie auf dem Knopf abgespeichert sind. Der Knopf hat 12 Einstellungen, dazu gehören “žModel”œ und “žStandard”œ. Stellen Sie den Alternet Tuning Knopf auf “žModel”œ bekommen Sie Zugriff auf Ihre Stimmungen, die Sie selbst mit der Variax Workbench Software erstellt haben. Diese sind nämlich im Variax Model Knopf abgespeichert. Stellen Sie den Knopf aber auf “žStandard”œ, wird die Gitarrenstimmung jedes Models temporär auf EADGBE Standart gestellt. Die restlichen 10 Alternate Tuning Einstellungen sind handverlesene Tyler Variax Gitarrenstimmungen. Alternate Tuning Stimmungen für die JTV-59 und JTV-69: MODEL STANDARD: E A D G H E DROP D: D A D G H E 1/2 DOWN: Eb Ab Db Gb Hb Eb DROP Db: Db Ab Db Gb Hb Eb 1 DOWN: D G C F A D DADGAD: D A D G A D OPEN D: D A D F# A D BLUES G: D G D G H D RESO G: G H D G H D OPEN A: E A C# E A E BARITONE: H E A D F# H Alternate Tuning Stimmungen für die JTV-59 und JTV-69: MODEL STANDARD: E A D G H E DROP D: D A D G H E 1/2 DOWN: Eb Ab Db Gb Hb Eb DROP Db: Db Ab Db Gb Hb Eb 1 DOWN: D G C F A D DROP C: C G C F A D m3 DOWN: Db Gb H E Ab Db DROP B: H Gb B E Ab Db M3 DOWN: C F Hb Eb G C DROP Bb: Hb F Hb Eb G C BARITONE: H E A D F# H Workbench Schnittstelle: Wann erkennt die Variax Workbench Schnittstelle meine Gitarre? Erst müssen Sie die Workbench Software herunterladen und installieren, diese können Sie hier finden. Stellen Sie dann sicher, dass die Batterie in der Gitarre geladen und korrekt eingestetzt ist. Verbinden Sie dann die Schnittstelle via USB mit Ihrem Computer und die Gitarre mit der Schnittstelle anhand des VDI/Netzwerk Kabels, welches enthalten ist. Stecken Sie dann zuletzt ein ¼”œ Kabel in den Ausgang der Gitarre um diese anzuschalten. (Die Workbench Schnittstelle startet die Gitarre NICHT!, stattdessen können Sie einfach ein ¼”œ Kabel anschließen als Dummy sozusagen.) Das andere Ende des ¼”œ muss nicht in ein anderes Gerät eingesteckt sein. 2 Grüne Lichter sollten nun leuchten auf der Workbench Schnittstelle sobald es angeschlossen und erkannt worden ist. Zurücksetzen auf die Werkseinstellungen und die Aktualisierung des Flash Memory: Weshalb funktioniert das Zurücksetzen nicht so wie im Benutzerhandbuch beschrieben? Die Prozedur zum Zurücksetzen auf Werkseinstellungen, die im Handbuch beschrieben ist wurde von der Gitarre mit Update 1.80 entfernt um Platz zu schaffen für die Variax HD Acoustic Modelle. Alle JTV Gitarren mit Flash Memory V1.80 oder neuer können auf diese Art und Weise nicht mehr zurückgesetzt werden. Um die Geräte zurückzusetzen oder zu aktualisieren folgen Sie diesem Link: Variax Reflash and Software update F.A.Q. Wenn ich die Gitarrensaiten manuell nach oben oder unten stimme, kann ich dann immernoch den virtuellen JTV Kapo (Variax virtual capo) verwenden? Wir empfehlen dies nicht, da die Gitarren für eine E Standart Stimmung entworfen sind. Das Verwenden des Virtuellen Kapo auf eine umgestimmte Gitarre ist also nicht unterstützt.

Batterie : Quelle batterie est incluse ? Nous utilisons des batteries Li-Ion. Une batterie chargée fournit 12 heures de performance. Il y en a un indicateur de vie de la batterie avec 4 LEDs. Poussez le bouton rond noire : 4 LED : 9+ heures 3 LED : 6+ heures 2 LED : 3+ heures 1 LED : moins que 3 heures 1 LED clignotant : moins que 1 heure, rechargez la batterie Attention : Il y en a deux façons de d”™alimentation sans batterie. Si la guitare est connectée via câble VDI à un autre appareil VDI Digital comme le POD X3 Live, l'alimentation est fournie par cette connexion. Ou vous utilisez un XPS-DI avec un câble TRS. Avec un XPS-DI, vous pouvez alimenter la guitare, mais c”™est aussi une boxe A/B pour envoyer un signale du DI au Board ou un ampli acoustique avec certains modèles. Si vous alimentez votre guitare avec un de ces méthodes, déconnectez la batterie. Combien de temps faut-il pour recharger complètement une batterie à plat JTV ? Plus ou moins 12 heures. Vous pouvez jouer 4 à 6 heures si vous le chargez 30-45 minutes. Qu'est-ce que le voyant signifie sur le chargeur de batterie JTV? Une lumière rouge solide veut dire que la batterie se recharge. Un rouge clignotant veut dire que la batterie est à pleine charge ou que la batterie a été insérée incorrectement. Si vous savez que la batterie n”™est pas complètement chargée, remettez la batterie. Tuning Gears : Les guitares JTV-59US et JTV-89US ont des mécaniques Hipshot Classic. Ces mécaniques sont lisses et précises à 18 : 1. Les guitares JTV-69US ont des mécaniques Hipshot Grip-Lock. Ces mécaniques sont décalées pour une stabilité maximale. Pour les guitares JTV coréennes, nous utilisons des mécaniques scellés 16 : 1 sur tous les modèles. Ce sont des mécaniques solides moulés sous pression. Comme pour la JTV-69US, nous utilisons des mécaniques déplacés et de verrouillage. Les pièces de verrouillage dans les mécaniques sont déplacées également pour correspondre au format des mécaniques : 23,4mm (pour les cordes Mi grave et La), 21,9mm (pour les cordes Ré et Sol), et 20,4mm (pour les cordes Si et Mi aigu). Nouveaux modèles acoustiques HD : Quand est-ce que vous avec ajoutés ces modèles aux guitares JTV ? Les nouveaux modèles ont été ajoutés avec la version du firmware 1.81 et sont inclus avec tous les versions après. Qu'est-ce que le bouton « Tone » fait sur les nouveaux modèles JTV HD Acoustic ? Le bouton Tone sur les nouveaux modèles acoustiques HD est utilisé pour ajuster la quantité de résonance de la caisse. Les derniers 10% suppriment la résonance complètement (90-100%) pour les joueurs qui le préfèrent. Bouton Alternate Tuning Comment est-ce que le bouton « Alternate Tuning » fonctionne ? Le bouton Alt Tune peut être utilisé avec tous les presets qui sont enregistrés sur ce bouton. Le bouton a 12 configurations, avec « Model » et « Standard ». Si vous le mettez sur « Model », vous pouvez accéder les réglages preset que vous avez créé dans le logiciel Variax Workbench avec le bouton « Alternate Tuning ». Ces réglages sont enregistrés sur le bouton Model. Mettez-le sur « Standard » pour avoir la configuration EADGBE normale sur tous les modèles. Les autres sont tons des configurations de guitares JTV spécifiques. Configurations « Alternate Tuning » pour JTV-59 et JTV-69: MODEL STANDARD: Mi La Ré Sol Si Mi DROP D: Ré La Ré Sol Si Mi 1/2 DOWN: Mib Lab Réb Solb Sib Mib DROP Db: Réb Lab Réb Solb Sib Mib 1 DOWN: Ré Sol Do Fa La Ré DADGAD: Ré La Ré Sol La Ré OPEN D: Ré La Ré Fa# La Ré BLUES G: Ré Sol Ré Sol Si Ré RESO G: Sol Si Ré Sol Si Ré OPEN A: Mi La Do# Mi La Mi BARITONE: Si Mi La Ré Fa# Si Configurations « Alternate Tuning » pour JTV-89 et JTV-89F: MODEL STANDARD: Mi La Ré Sol Si Mi DROP Ré La Ré Sol Si Mi 1/2 DOWN: Mib Lab Réb Solb Sib Mib DROP Db: Réb Lab Réb Solb Sib Mib 1 DOWN: Ré Sol Do Fa La Ré DROP C: Do Sol Do Fa La Ré m3 DOWN: Réb Solb Si Mi Lab Réb DROP B: Si Solb Si Mi Lab Réb M3 DOWN: Do Fa Sib Mib Sol Do DROP Bb: Sib Fa Sib Mib Sol Do BARITONE: Si Mi La Ré Fa# Si Interface Workbench: Comment puis-je faire l'interface Variax Workbench reconnaître la guitare James Tyler Variax? Assurez-vous que vous avez téléchargé et installé les pilotes les plus récentes pour l”™interface Workbench d”™ici : Line 6 Downloads Assurez-vous que la batterie de la guitare est chargée et installé correctement dans la guitare. Connectez l”™interface Variax Workbench à l”™ordinateur avec le câble VDI inclus. Connectez un câble ¼”™”™ à la sortie de la guitare (parce que Workbench n”™alimente pas la guitare). L”™autre extrémité du câble ne doit pas être connectée. Si vous voyez deux lumières verts sur l”™interface Workbench, tous est configuré correctement. Réinitialisation d'usine et mise à jour Flash Memory : Pourquoi est-ce que la procédure de la réinitialisation décrit dans le mode d”™emploi ? La fonction de la réinitialisation d”™usine décrit dans le mode d”™emploi n”™existe plus. Nous l”™avons enlevé pour faire de la place pour les modèles Variax HD Acoustic.

The Missed Connections Update IMPORTANT! 2.80 is the first firmware to utilize the new Helix Core engine, which unifies all Helix and HX products into the same ecosystem. Because there are tons of changes under the hood, presets created in 2.80 will not be compatible with earlier firmware, which means if you want to return to 2.71 for whatever reason, and you didn't back up before updating to 2.80, your presets will NO LONGER WORK. Therefore, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND everyone back up everything BEFORE updating. Transitioning to Helix Core also forces us to reset your Global Settings, but restoring your backup (STEP 5 below) restores them. No way around that. Just back everything up, okay? Instructions for backing up begin... now. Updating to 2.80 (READ ME!) Helix Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT, HX Effects, HX Stomp STEP 1a—Backing Up Helix/HX Hardware Connect your Helix/HX processor to a Mac or PC via USB and turn it on. Do not use any sort of USB hub. Open YOUR CURRENT VERSION of HX Edit (NOT the new HX Edit 2.80). From the top File menu, select "Create Backup..." Click "Create Backup." TIP: If you want to load the 2.80 factory presets and hotkey templates, it's better to manually back up individual setlists, so you can later import them into empty setlists. To do this, from the preset library along the left side, select the setlist you want to back up and click "Export." Choose a destination folder and click "Save." Repeat for any other setlists you want to back up. STEP 1b—Backing Up Helix Native If you don't currently own Helix Native, skip this step. Open any instance of YOUR CURRENT VERSION of Helix Native (NOT the new Helix Native 1.80) within your DAW and click the "My Account" button in the lower left corner to open the Preferences window. From the General tab, click "Export Bundle." Choose the destination folder and click "Save." TIP: If you want to load the 2.80 factory presets, it's better to manually back up individual setlists, so you can later import them into empty setlists. To do this, from the preset library along the left side, select the setlist you want to back up and click the small yellow "Export." Choose a destination folder and click "Save." Repeat for any other setlists you want to back up. STEP 2—Updating HX Edit to 2.80 (YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE UPDATING YOUR HELIX/HX FIRMWARE!) Turn off or disconnect any connected Helix or HX hardware. Log onto line6.com. Once logged in, download the latest version of HX Edit, available here: HX Edit for Max OS X HX Edit for Windows 7, 8, or 10 Read the Software License Agreement (hahaahaaa!) and click "Accept and Download." Once the software has downloaded, double-click the installer and follow the prompts. NOTE: Installing HX Edit 2.80 automatically installs the latest version of Line 6 Updater, which is required to update the firmware. STEP 3a—Updating Helix Floor/Rack/LT to 2.80 (DO NOT DO THIS UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE UPDATED HX EDIT TO 2.80!) If you have HX Effects or HX Stomp, skip to STEP 3b below instead. If you have Helix Rack/Control, turn off Helix Control. Also, shut down all Line 6 software or any programs that use audio, like DAWs, iTunes, Spotify, video games, etc. Connect Helix to a Mac or PC via USB (do not use any sort of USB hub) and turn it on. Launch Line 6 Updater. The latest version was automatically installed when you installed HX Edit 2.80 in "STEP 2—Updating HX Edit to 2.80" above. Enter your Line 6 Username and Password and click "Sign In." A big green box appears with a picture of your Helix product. Click the big green box and then click "Update" next to Version: 2.80. Carefully read the instructions (HEY! DID YOU BACK UP FIRST?), click "Continue," and then "Accept." A warning dialog appears, telling you that Helix will be reset twice. Think "Hmm, maybe I should've backed up first? Nah, I insist on subverting the dominant paradigm," and click "OK." Helix begins updating. As wholly expected, because we warned you... because you always read the instructions... halfway through the update process, Line 6 Updater displays a second dialog and Helix's LCD reads "Boot Failure. Entered Update Mode!" THIS IS NORMAL. Breathe deep, everything is fine. You're almost there. Click "OK" again. When finished, Helix restarts automatically and begins rebuilding your presets. Let it finish. IMPORTANT! This may take some time. If Helix appears to not respond for many minutes, turn Helix off, connect to a different USB port on your computer, and attempt the update again If you have Helix Rack/Control, turn on Helix Control. Helix Rack reads "Helix Control must be updated to work properly. Update now?" Press Knob 6 (OK) to update Helix Control. NOTE: Updating the firmware does not automatically load any new presets. See "STEP 4—Loading the 2.80 Factory Presets/Templates" below. STEP 3b—Updating HX Effects/HX Stomp to 2.80 (DO NOT DO THIS UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE UPDATED HX EDIT TO 2.80!) If you have Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, or Helix LT, follow STEP 3a above instead. Shut down all Line 6 software or any programs that use audio, like DAWs, iTunes, Spotify, video games, etc. Connect your HX processor to a Mac or PC via USB (do not use any sort of USB hub) and turn it on. Launch Line 6 Updater. The latest version was automatically installed when you installed HX Edit 2.80 in "STEP 2—Updating HX Edit to 2.80" above. Enter your Line 6 Username and Password and click "Sign In." A big green box appears with a picture of your HX product. Click the big green box and then click "Update" next to Version: 2.80. Carefully read the instructions (HEY! DID YOU BACK UP FIRST?), click "Continue," and then "Accept." When finished, your HX device restarts automatically. NOTE: Updating the firmware does not automatically load any new presets. See "STEP 4—Loading the 2.80 Factory Presets/Templates" below. STEP 4—OPTIONAL: Loading the 2.80 Factory Presets/Templates IMPORTANT! The following procedure will COMPLETELY ERASE ALL OF YOUR CUSTOM PRESETS! If you want to keep them, make sure you back them up first! (See "STEP 1a—Backing Up Helix/HX Hardware" above.) Turn off your Helix/HX processor. Depending on your type of Helix/HX product, follow the procedure below: Helix Floor/LT—While holding footswitches 7 and 8 (two left-most switches on the bottom row), turn on Helix/Helix LT. Wait for "Will restore stock Presets and Setlists..." and let go Helix Rack/Control—While holding knobs 3 and 4 below the screen, turn on Helix Rack. Wait for "Will reset Presets..." and let go HX Effects—While holding footswitches 5 and 6 (middle two switches on the bottom row), turn on HX Effects. Wait for "Will reset Presets..." and let go HX Stomp—While holding footswitches 1 and 2, turn on HX Stomp. Wait for "Will reset Presets..." to appear on the screen and let go Helix Native—Click the gear icon in the lower left corner to open the Preferences window. From the Presets/IRs tab, click "Restore Factory Setlists" STEP 5a—OPTIONAL: Restoring Helix/HX Presets, IRs, and Global Settings from a Backup Connect your Helix/HX processor to a Mac or PC via USB (do not use any sort of USB hub) and turn it on. Open the NEW VERSION OF HX Edit 2.80 you installed in "STEP 2—Updating HX Edit to 2.80" above. From the top File menu, select "Restore from Backup." Browse to the backup file and click "Open." TIP: If you instead exported individual setlists and loaded the 2.80 factory presets/templates (and want to keep them), from the preset list along the left side, select an empty User setlist and then drag the saved setlist file (from the tip in STEP 1) into the preset list IMPORTANT! You may notice that after restoring from a backup (or loading in previously stored setlists or individual presets) that preset switching times are slower than normal. Restart Helix/HX, and you'll see the display read "Rebuilding preset [XXX]". Wait for it to rebuild your presets, and they will load faster. STEP 5b—OPTIONAL: Restoring Helix Native from a Backup If you don't currently own Helix Native, skip this step. Open any instance of Helix Native within your DAW and click the gear icon in the lower left corner to open the Preferences window. From the Presets/IRs tab, click "Import Bundle." Browse to the location chosen in STEP 2 above and click "Open." Whew! That wasn't too terrible, now was it? What's that... it was? Sorry. Now that Helix Core is finished, hopefully future update procedures will be less... involved.

New Features in 2.80 NOTE: For additional information on Helix Native 1.80 or HX Edit 2.80, check out the latest Helix Native and HX Edit Pilot's Guides, which are automatically installed with the new 1.80/2.80 software. Hotkeys Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Effects IMPORTANT! The first time you update Helix/HX to 2.80, your Mac or PC may ask what kind of keyboard you have connected. Just ignore this and close the window. The Command Center can now send QWERTY hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts with or without modifiers such as Shift, Control, Option/Alt, and Command) to your Mac, PC, or iOS device via USB. You can now control virtually any software ever made, including DAWs, looping software, DJ software, media players, lighting software, video software, browsers, or video games… with your feet... or when assigned to an Instant command, from any preset or snapshot recall. From the Command Center menu, select a footswitch or Instant command and turn Knob 1 (Command) to select “Hotkey.” Turn knobs 2-5 to select the desired keystroke. If the keystroke doesn’t have modifiers, leave knobs 2, 3, and 4 set to “None." TIP: It's much faster and easier to program keystrokes from HX Edit 2.80. Open the Command Center window, select a footswitch or Instant command, and from the Command pull-down menu, select "Hotkey." Click the small keypad icon and simply enter the keystroke from your computer keyboard. Don't forget to customize the switch label! NOTE: Just like a normal computer keyboard, hotkeys won't work unless the software or app you want to control is in focus. Hotkey Templates Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Effects To get you started with hotkeys, we've provided the following template presets in 2.80: Cubase Pro Tools (Mac) Pro Tools (PC) Logic/GarageBand Ableton Live (Mac) Ableton Live (PC) Reaper (Mac) Reaper (PC) StudioOne Cakewalk MainStage QLab YouTube iTunes Spotify (Mac) Spotify (PC) Apple Keynote First-person shooter video games Most software has dozens if not hundreds of available hotkeys; feel free to swap ours out with the ones you use the most. With clever choices and a bit of finesse, you may be able to run a recording session (or elaborate live show with lighting and video cues) without ever touching a mouse or keyboard. Depending on your type of Helix/HX product, follow the procedure below: Helix Floor/Rack/LT—Press the PRESET knob, move the joystick left to select the Setlist column, select 8 TEMPLATES, and press the joystick. Hotkey templates begin at 06A HX Effects—Press MODE to to select Preset mode and turn the Big Knob. Hotkey templates begin at 16A NOTE: Updating the firmware does not automatically load any new presets or the hotkey templates; you must manually load them. See "STEP 5—Loading the 2.80 Factory Presets/Templates" above. Variax String Level Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT Helix can now remotely adjust the level of individual guitar strings on a connected Shuriken Variax, JTV, or Variax Standard. TIP: Just like with any amp, cab, or effect parameter, Variax String Level can be quickly assigned to footswitches or Snapshots. "Wait. You mean I can turn off the top three strings for the verse (Snapshot 1) and bring them back in for the chorus (Snapshot 2)? And if the high E is too shrill I can back its volume down to 85%?" Yes. "That's pretty nuts." Yes it is. Select the Input > Multi or Input > Variax block and press PAGE > three times. Turn Knobs 1-6 to adjust each string’s level. If you want to set a particular string's level separately for each snapshot, press and turn the string's knob. The value will turn white and appear in brackets. NOTE: Assigning a continuous controller (such as an expression pedal or slider on your MIDI controller) is not recommended, as it may result in minor pops and clicks; this is due to limitations in Variax DSP, not Helix. Powercab Plus Remote Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT IMPORTANT! You must also update Powercab Plus! It must be running firmware 2.0 or higher. Helix can now remotely adjust parameters in one or two L6 LINK-connected Powercab 112 Plus or Powercab 212 Plus modeling speaker cabs. When one Powercab Plus 112 is connected via L6 LINK (110-ohm AES/EBU cable), it receives a mono signal from Helix; when one Powercab 212 Plus is connected via L6 LINK, it receives a stereo signal; when two Powercab 112 Plus or 212 Plus amps are daisy-chained via L6 LINK, the first cab in the chain receives the left signal and the second cab receives the right signal. TIP: Just like with any amp, cab, or effect parameter, Powercab Plus parameters can be quickly assigned to footswitches or Snapshots. Select the Output > Multi or Output > Digital block and press PAGE > once. Turn Knob 1 (Powercab Remote) to select "Per Preset" or "Global." If you don't plan on changing Powercab parameters along with Helix presets, choose "Global." Turn Knob 2 (Powercab Mode) to select the desired type of Powercab mode: Flat, Speaker, or IR. Note that certain parameters will gray out depending on the mode chosen. Turn Knob 4 (Speaker Select) to specify which Powercab you want to control—Powercab 1, Powercab 2, or both Powercabs simultaneously ("1+2 Link"). Normally, you should leave this set to "1+2 Link," which edits both Powercabs simultaneously, to maintain phase coherence. Note that with Powercab 212 Plus, "Powercab 1" targets the left speaker in each (or both) amp(s) and "Powercab 2" targets the right speaker in each (or both) amp(s). Flat Voicing—When Powercab Mode is set to "Flat," determines the type of speaker voicing Speaker Type—When Powercab Mode is set to "Speaker," determines the current speaker model Speaker DI Mic—When Powercab Mode is set to "Speaker," determines the mic model used on Powercab's XLR output(s) Spider Mic Dist—When Powercab Mode is set to "Speaker," determines the mic distance used on Powercab's XLR output(s) Speaker User IR—When Powercab Mode is set to "User IR," selects the impulse response used Speaker Low Cut—Applies a Low Cut filter to Powercab Plus for minimizing low end rumble Speaker Hi Cut—Applies a High Cut filter to Powercab Plus for minimizing high end harshness Speaker Level—Applies a level trim Speaker Color—Lets you choose the LED ring color on any connected Powercab(s) NOTE: For more information on Powercab Plus, see the Powercab Pilot's Guide. DT50/DT25 Remote Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Edit IMPORTANT! Your DT amp must be running firmware 2.0 or higher. Chances are it already is (2.0 was released back in 2012) but if things are wonky, this is the first thing to check. Helix can now remotely adjust the real tube topology settings and other parameters in one or two L6 LINK-connected DT25 or DT50 amplifiers. When one DT25 or DT50 is connected via L6 LINK (110-ohm AES/EBU cable), it receives a mono signal from Helix; when two DT250 or DT50 amplifiers are daisy-chained via L6 LINK, the first cab in the chain receives the left signal and the second cab receives the right signal. TIP: Just like with any amp, cab, or effect parameter, DT parameters can be quickly assigned to footswitches or Snapshots. From the Output > Multi or Output > Digital block, press PAGE > three times. Turn Knob 1 (DT 25/50 Remote) to select "Per Preset" or "Global." If you don't plan on changing DT topology settings along with Helix presets, choose "Global." Turn Knob 2 (DT Select) to specify which DT amp you want to control—DT 1, DT 2, or both DT amps simultaneously ("1+2 Link"). Normally, you should leave this set to "1+2 Link," which edits both DT amps simultaneously, to maintain phase coherence. DT Channel—When set to Channel A, the DT switches to Channel A and its preamp is bypassed for when using a preamp model in Helix. When set to Channel B, the DT switches to Channel B and its preamp is activated TIP: Assign a stomp footswitch (or snapshots) to simultaneously bypass a Helix preamp block AND switch a connected DT amp to Channel B. This gives you a wider variety of tones in the same preset, without the DSP overhead required to run two simultaneous Preamp blocks DT Topology—Changes the DT amp's negative feedback loop topology. Choose "I (Tight)" for behavior reminiscent of the great American Blackface amps of the 60’s, choose "II (Loose)" for dialing in echoes of classic British amps, choose "III (ZNF)" for a very open or dynamic feeling amp, or choose "IV (Resonant)" to add low frequency resonance that pairs well with high gain tones DT Power Amp—Sets the DT amp's operating class, wattage, and bias type. Choose "Class A" for more dynamics with greater touch sensitivity; choose "Class AB" for greater headroom and power DT Tube Config—Changes the configuration of the DT's power tubes. Chose "Pentode" for clear and commanding tone; choose "Triode" for quieter and rounder sounds with a more vintage feel DT Reverb—Turns the DT amp's built-in spring reverb on and off DT Rev Mix—Determines the amount of built-in spring reverb DT 12AX7 Boost; DT50 only—When Low Volume Mode is off, applies a volume boost DT Feedbk Cap; DT50 only—Sets the DT amp's feedback capacitor type DT B+ Voltage; DT50 only—Sets the DT amp's phase inverter B+ voltage NOTE: For more information on DT amps, see the DT25 Pilot's Guide or the DT50 Pilot's Guide. Snapshot Bypass Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, Helix Native, HX Effects, HX Stomp, HX Edit There may be situations where you don't want Helix's snapshots to control a particular block's bypass state; that is, you'd prefer to turn it on and off manually. For example, you may want manual control of a boost pedal at any time without worrying whether a particular snapshot might turn it on or off. Depending on your type of Helix/HX product, follow the procedure below: Helix Floor/Rack/LT—Select a processing block, press ACTION, and set Knob 5 (Snapshot Bypass) to "Off" to disable snapshot control of that block's bypass state HX Effects—Select a processing block, press ACTION, and press the "Snapshot Bypass" switch to disable snapshot control of that block's bypass state HX Stomp—From Edit view, select a processing block, press ACTION, press PAGE >, and set Knob 3 (Snapshot Bypass) to "Off" to disable snapshot control of that block's bypass state Helix Native/HX Edit—Right-click (Mac: control-click) on a processing block and uncheck "Snapshot Bypass." Alternatively, right-click (Mac: control-click) the Bypass button to uncheck "Snapshot Bypass." Hardware Compatibility Mode Helix Native Helix Native can now reflect the signal flow and model set of all Helix and HX hardware devices, so transferring presets to and from your DAW is even easier. In addition, Hardware Compatibility can be disabled entirely, so the simultaneous model count is now limited only by the speed of your computer. Open any instance of Helix Native within your DAW and click the gear icon in the lower left corner to open the Preferences window. Click the Hardware Compatibility tab. From the "Current Hardware Compatibility Mode" pull-down menu, select one of the following options: Off—Disables Hardware Compatibility and lets you add as many blocks (of any type) as your computer's horsepower will allow. Choose this setting if you don't own any Helix or HX hardware Helix Floor/LT/Rack (the default)—Configures Helix Native such that any presets made can be easily loaded into Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, or Helix LT HX Effects—Configures Helix Native such that any presets made can be easily loaded into HX Effects. In this mode, no Amp or Cab models will be available HX Stomp—Configures Helix Native such that any presets made can be easily loaded into HX Stomp Click OK. Depending on the current Hardware Compatibility Mode, Helix Native may repopulate the preset list to reflect that of the selected hardware. For example, if you choose "HX Stomp," HX Stomp's factory presets will appear and the signal flow will be limited to six blocks Click "Set as Default" to ensure any new instances of Helix Native open in the selected mode. IMPORTANT! Each Hardware Compatibility Mode incorporates its own, independent preset library. Therefore, you will see the Helix Native preset library automatically repopulate to reflect that of the selected hardware. Helix/HX Preset Sharing Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, Helix Native, HX Effects, HX Stomp, HX Edit All Helix and HX hardware and software now live within the same ecosystem. Using multiple windows within HX Edit and/or multiple instances of the Helix Native plug-in, both blocks and entire presets can be freely dragged and dropped or copied and pasted between units. Aside from the obvious caveats below, all Helix and HX products can now share the same content. IMPORTANT! Due to the vast differences in how Helix/HX products manage controllers, snapshots, and Command Center messages, there is no guarantee that every single tiny detail of a preset will translate properly. You can now drag/drop, copy/paste, or otherwise load: HX Effects or HX Stomp presets into Helix Floor/Rack/LT and Helix Native. If an HX Effects preset has 9 blocks, the ninth block will be routed to Path 2 Helix Floor/Rack/LT, Helix Native, or HX Stomp presets into HX Effects. However, there are caveats. To avoid an error message, the source preset must: Contain 9 or fewer blocks Not contain any Amp+Cab, Amp, Preamp, or Cab blocks Contain no more than one Split and Merge block Fit within one path worth of DSP processing Helix Floor/Rack/LT, Helix Native, or HX Effects presets into HX Stomp. However, there are caveats. To avoid an error message, the source preset must: Contain 6 or fewer blocks Contain no more than one Split and Merge block Fit within one path worth of DSP processing Helix Floor/Rack/LT, HX Effects, or HX Stomp presets into Helix Native NOTE: A dialog box will appear if the source preset cannot be accommodated by the current Hardware Compatibility Mode (see above). At this point, you may choose to switch the current Hardware Compatibility Mode to that of the source preset, or attempt to translate the preset into the current Hardware Compatibility Mode, given the caveats above. See the Helix Native Pilot's Guide for more information—click the question mark icon in the lower left corner of the plug-in. Undo/Redo Helix Native, HX Edit Both the Helix Native plug-in and HX Edit now support multiple levels of undo/redo. Click the Undo button to undo the most recent edit. Click the Redo button to redo the most recent undo. MIDI Learn Helix Native (Helix Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT, HX Effects, and HX Stomp already have this feature) Helix Native can now learn an incoming MIDI CC message and automatically assign it to a parameter. Right-click on a parameter and select Controller > MIDI Learn. A small brain icon flashes. If you change your mind, click the icon to cancel. Send Helix Native a MIDI CC message. The parameter is automatically assigned to it. TIP: In Helix Native, right-click (Mac: control-click) on a processing block to open a pull-down that lets you manually assign a MIDI CC to block bypass. Right-click (Mac: control-click) on a parameter slider to open a pull-down menu that lets you manually assign a MIDI CC to parameter control. NOTE: Not all DAW software automatically routes incoming MIDI data through to any plug-in, especially those instanciated as an insert on an audio track. See your DAW's documentation for more information. The new MIDI In indicator in the lower right corner flashes if Helix Native receives MIDI data. Hands-free Pedal Edit for Input/Output Blocks Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT In addition to Amp, Effect, Cab, IR, Split, and Mixer parameters, Input and Output Block parameters can also now be edited with your feet, including the new Variax String Level, Powercab Plus remote, and DT25/DT50 remote parameters. Press and hold MODE to enter Pedal Edit Mode. The switches flash. If necessary, press MORE one or more times to view additional blocks and press the Input 1A (or 1B, 2A, or 2B) or Output 1A (or 1B, 2A, or 2B) footswitch. If the block has more than one page of parameters, press FS8 (<PAGE) or FS9 (PAGE>) until you find the parameter. Press the footswitch displaying the parameter you want to adjust and use an expression pedal to adjust the parameter. For fine adjustment, press FS10 (VALUE–) and FS11 (VALUE+). Hold FS10 (VALUE–) or FS11 (VALUE +) for faster adjustments. When finished, press FS12 (EXIT). If you want to save any changes made to the preset, hold FS12 (EXIT) for two seconds. Snapshot Reselect Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Effects, HX Stomp Currently, pressing the currently active Snapshot switch will reload the stored state of that snapshot. With 2.80, you can now choose to instead toggle between it and the previously selected snapshot. For example, if you're on Snapshot 2 and switch to Snapshot 8, pressing the Snapshot 8 footswitch will seamlessly toggle between Snapshot 8 and Snapshot 2. From the Global Settings > Preferences menu, turn Snapshot Reselect to choose "Reload" or "Toggle Prev." "Reload" remains the default. Stomp Select Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT (parameter is already in HX Effects and HX Stomp) Currently, briefly touching a stomp footswitch jumps to select its assigned items' parameters; it's a super fast and simple way to navigate your various amps and effects. For those neanderthals of you who play barefoot, you can disable this functionality from Global Settings > Footswitches > Touch Select. With 2.80, this parameter has now changed to Stomp Select, and lets you choose whether touching a switch, pressing a switch, or both instantly jumps to display the assigned items' parameters. Depending on your type of Helix/HX product, follow the procedure below: Helix Floor/Rack/LT—From the Global Settings > Footswitches menu, turn Knob 1 (Stomp Select) to choose "None," "Touch," "Press," or "Touch+Press." "Touch" remains the default HX Effects/HX Stomp—From the Global Settings > Footswitches menu, turn Knob 1 (Stomp Select) to choose "Touch," "Press," or "Both." "Touch" remains the default Swap Up/Down Switches Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Effects Some users have requested the ability to press the DOWN switch to select the next bank, preset, or snapshot. With 2.80, Up and Down can be swapped: From the Global Settings > Footswitches menu, turn [Swap Up/Down] to choose "Off" (normal) or "On" (reversed). SHORTCUT: Touch (but don't press) the Up and Down switches together for one second, and then press Knob 6 [FS6 on HX Effects] (OK). The up and down switches are now swapped. Turn Joystick to Select Blocks Helix Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT Currently, turning the joystick encoder scrolls through available models for the selected block. With 2.80, you can now choose to instead turn the joystick to quickly move across the signal flow. From the Global Settings > Preferences menu, turn Knob 5 (Joystick Encoder) to choose "Model" or "Selection." "Model" remains the default. SHORTCUT: Pressing and turning the joystick will provide the opposite setting; that is, when set to "Model", press and turn the joystick to quickly move across the signal flow. When set to "Selection," press and turn the joystick to scroll through available models for the selected block. Tempo Indicator Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control Press TAP/TUNER two or more times to enter a new tempo. The TAP/TUNER scribble strip briefly displays the entered tempo. SHORTCUT: To fine-tune the tempo, briefly touch the TAP/TUNER switch. The Tempo panel opens. Turn Knob 6 (BPM) to manually set the tempo. Pedal Position Indicator Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control A new Global Settings > Displays > Pedal Position Display parameter lets you determine whether the scribble strip above the expression pedal temporarily displays the expression pedal position ("Temporary") or remains visible ("Persistent"). Move the built-in expression pedal. The EXP scribble strip displays a position indicator (0 ~ 100%). Helix Native Pricing Helix Native It's not technically a feature, but Helix Native is now $99.99 US for all registered owners of Helix Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT, HX Effects, and HX Stomp ($300 off). Helix Native brings the amps, cabs, effects, and IR loading from Helix to your Mac or PC's recording software without the need for time-consuming re-amping. Depending on your computer's horsepower, you may be able to add an entire Helix's worth of processing to multiple guitar, bass, synth, vocal, drum, bus, slide whistle, and nose flute tracks. Helix Native along with Helix hardware is also an immeasurably helpful tool when trying to rebuild studio tones for your tour, or tones built on the road for the next record—What used to take weeks (or hiring an expensive programmer) now takes seconds. Helix Native can be purchased here. Other Changes and Improvements in 2.80 The Global Settings > Preferences > Tap Tempo Pitch (Authentic, Transparent) setting now also affects tempo changes taking place across snapshot changes, not just when pressing the TAP switch (Helix Floor/Rack/LT, HX Effects, HX Stomp) On a Cab > Dual block, changing the first cab no longer changes the second cab (Helix Floor/Rack/LT, Helix Native, HX Edit [feature is already in HX Stomp]) Page indication has changed from small colored dots to the right of the inspector to a scrolling inspector header line (similar to the one in HX Stomp). This allows Impulse Response blocks to display longer IR names. Oh yeah—speaking of which... (Helix Floor/Rack/LT) Impulse Response blocks now display as many IR file name characters as will fit in the inspector header (Helix Floor/Rack/LT, Helix Native) In previous versions, only the last value would be recalled via Snapshots (example: In Program messages, only the PC value could change). With 2.80, all values are recalled via Snapshots (example: In Hotkey messages, all modifiers and the keystroke can change, so each snapshot could have different sets of key commands). (Helix Floor/Rack/LT, HX Effects) Additional values have been added to recall snapshots remotely via MIDI. CC69 Value 8 will select the next snapshot and Value 9 will select the previous snapshot (Helix Floor/Rack/LT, Helix Native, HX Effects [feature is already in HX Stomp]) Command Center > CC Toggle, CV Toggle (Helix Floor only), and Amp Control messages have an additional Type parameter that lets one determine whether the footswitch is latching or momentary. Previously, you would have to assign a processing block (set to momentary) to the same footswitch to make the Command Center message momentary (Helix Floor/Rack/LT, HX Effects) An additional "None" value has been added to Command Center > Instant > Amp Control messages (Helix Floor/Rack/LT, HX Effects) The "Pac Man" shortcut where moving the joystick right from the Output block jumps to the Input block (and vice versa) now also works when moving the joystick up and down (Helix Floor/Rack/LT) On the Save Preset, Rename Preset, Rename Snapshot, Rename Setlist, and Customize screens, moving the joystick right from the last character jumps to the first (and vice versa) (Helix Floor/Rack/LT [feature is already in HX Stomp and HX Effects]) The boot screen now displays a red progress bar (Helix Floor/Rack/LT [feature is already in HX Stomp]) While in the Command Center menu, pressing SAVE twice to save a preset no longer exits you all the way to the Home screen (Helix Floor/Rack/LT, HX Effects) Pressing Up and Down together from Snapshot mode now exits to the previous mode (same as pressing EXIT) (Helix Floor/Rack/LT, HX Effects) Turning the PRESET knob past the last preset in each setlist now jumps back to the beginning of the setlist (and vice versa) (Helix Floor/Rack/LT [feature is already in HX Stomp and HX Effects]) Helix Native 1.80 now responds to MIDI program change messages as well as MIDI CC32 (values 0-7) to recall setlists (AU/AAX only) (Helix Native [feature is already in Helix Floor/Rack/LT, HX Effects, and HX Stomp]) A small indicator in the lower right corner of the plug-in window flashes whenever a MIDI message is received (Helix Native) Automation and MIDI/controller assignments can now be managed together from the Automation/Controller Assign tab (Helix Native, HX Edit) Blocks assigned to controllers or automation now display their category name in brackets. Parameters assigned to controllers or automation display a small icon to the left of their parameter sliders. In addition, pop-up menus now display controller or automation assignments, if any (Helix Native, HX Edit) From the Controller/Automation tab, right-click (Mac: control-click) an assignment to open a pull-down menu, letting you clear one or all assignments (Helix Native, HX Edit [feature is already in Helix Floor/Rack/LT, HX Effects, and HX Stomp]) The Preferences menu in HX Edit now lets you set FS3, FS4, and FS5 functions (HX Edit [feature is already in HX Stomp]) A new "Restore Factory Settings" button has been added to the bottom of the Preferences window (Helix Native, HX Edit [feature is already in Helix Floor/Rack/LT, HX Effects, and HX Stomp]) Helix Native can now take advantage of Ableton Live 10.1's support of VST3 Helix Native's default tempo is now set to "Host Sync" instead of "Per Preset" In HX Edit, snapshots can now be selected while the Command Center window is open In HX Edit, the parameter tab will now be in sync with the Helix display for Amp+Cab and Cab > Dual blocks When a Shuriken Variax is connected, HX Edit now displays its bank names properly Wow, you're still reading this? Congratulations; you're way cooler and better looking than other Helix/HX owners. Celebrate your superiority with some delicious tacos As Ampeg is now Line 6's sister company, all pre-2.80 Ampeg models have been renamed: Amp > Bass > Tuck n' Go is now called "Ampeg B-15NF" Amp > Bass > SV Beast Nrm is now called "Ampeg SVT Nrm" Amp > Bass > SV Beast Brt is now called "Ampeg SVT Brt" Cab > 1x15 Tuck n' Go is now called "1x15 Ampeg B-15" Cab > 4x10 Rhino is now called "4x10 Ampeg HLF" Cab > 8x10 SV Beast is now called "8x10 Ampeg SVT E" Numerous stability and performance improvements Lots of other little things Bug Fixes in 2.80 On rare occasions, with dirty footswitches, a single press can generate two Command Center messages. We've added a small timeout to ensure this doesn't happen, regardless of the condition of the footswitches Pressing the Cab > Mic parameter knob now returns the value to default When importing a preset into Helix Native, the Output 1B setting is now preserved In Helix Native, Output 1B and Output 2B Level and Pan controls now function properly In Helix Native, the Input Gate on paths 1B and 2B now functions properly In Helix Native, presets containing IR blocks now initialize the IRs properly when presets are loaded While HX Edit is running, double-clicking a preset, setlist, or bundle file on the desktop or any finder window will load the file In HX Edit, background windows now properly reflect the connected state of the device In HX Edit, preset names are now preserved in setlist, bundle, or backup files if an empty preset was renamed Many other minor bug fixes Known Issues in 2.80 The first time you update Helix/HX to 2.80, your Mac or PC may ask what kind of keyboard you have connected. This is due to the new Hotkey feature. Just ignore this and close the window Assigning a Command Center > Hotkey message to a footswitch that already has a block assigned to it (set to latching, which is the default) will cause the keystroke to be repeatedly sent to your Mac/PC. To avoid this behavior, either assign the Hotkey message to an empty footswitch or set the footswitch's mode to Momentary On Helix Floor, Rack, and LT, you cannot currently rename a footswitch assigned to the 1 Switch Looper In rare cases, dragging a Looper block across a Split or Merge block may cause a subsequent preset to appear blank. If this happens, simply reload the preset and it should appear as expected Switching Helix presets that remotely change speaker modes in an L6 LINK-connected Powercab Plus can sometimes cause a very brief volume increase Changing a delay or mod block's Time or Speed parameter from ms/Hz to note values (or vice versa) is not remembered by Undo/Redo. Changing the actual ms/Hz or note value itself, however, is remembered correctly

Deutsche Version Version française Please go through the following checklist before updating the flash memory of your Variax guitar to ensure the update completes successfully: Ensure that the interface you are using to update the Variax with (Workbench Interface, PODxt Live/Pro, POD X3 Live/Pro, POD HD500/HD Pro, Vetta II) is NOT connected to the computer through a USB hub. Make sure to connect the interface into a USB port directly into the computer, especially into the back of a desktop. If problems persist, make sure to test all of the USB ports on the computer. Avoid plugging into USB ports found on keyboards, monitors, or laptop docks. [*]When using the Workbench Interface to update or edit the Variax guitar, ensure that a charged battery is in the guitar and a 1/4" TS mono cable is inserted into the guitar's output jack, or that the stereo TRS cable is plugged into the Variax providing power from the XPS power supply to power on the guitar. [*]On a James Tyler Variax guitar, ensure that the Volume knob on the guitar is NOT set to the '0' position as it will put the guitar into Power Save Mode. Make sure that the Volume knob is set higher than 0 when updating or editing the JTV guitar. [*]Please use the VDI Cable that comes with the JTV guitar when updating the flash memory on that guitar. Avoid using VDI or CAT5 cables longer than 10 ft. in length when updating any Variax guitar. [*]During the update, select 'NO' when asked if you would like to keep the presets on the guitar. Use the Workbench software to back up your guitar presets before updating if you would like to keep them. [*]Close out any other applications running on your computer before updating the Variax guitar.
