It does hold if you save (2x save) after change. This sounds like normal behavior. At least with the Helix the first time you press save it indicates the location to be saved to and gives you an opportunity to change the location if you want. It is the second press that actually does the save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datacommando Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Something strange is happening with regard to Variax Model selection. For some reason the Helix hardware screen is not displaying the "Don't Force"option, but only on the Variax Model. The "Don't Force" options is available for Volume, Tone and Tuning. In HX Edit the "Don't Force" option for Variax Model can be selected, but doesn't make any difference on the Helix screen display. It must be some sort of bug.

I've been waiting since March for this update and it has utterly failed. Helix, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT only: In some cases, Command Center CC Toggle messages are not sent when selecting snapshots — FIXED NOPE. Not fixed in the slightest. I currently have my Helix set up to control my RJM analog loop switcher which accepts CC commands. The assigned switches control the gizmo as expected. When changing between snapshots the lights work as intended but no MIDI CC command is sent. This bug was reported in February or March. Come on Line6, get it together! On 7/4/2018 at 4:44 AM, nhoven said: No, it doesn't. Yes, you can assign CC toggles to footswitches, but they are not recalled correctly (or sometimes at all) when recalling snapshots. Also, the lit and unlit values (usually 127 and 0) get mixed up, and sometimes I've even seen bogus values like 4 or 6 being sent. It's a total mess and completely broken. So, I finally got a chance to mess with this tonight, and it seems to be working as expected for me... I started with a blank preset and added 4 CC Toggle commands to footswitches, and set them different in each snapshot. According to the MIDI OX monitor, the expected CC messages with the correct values are being sent when I change snapshots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there are any differences in the MIDI behavior between maybe particular presets upgraded from a former firmware, and setting up the MIDI commands from scratch in a new preset on the 2.60 firmware. Also I hope people reporting this are familiar with the differences between the behavior for global snapshot settings "Recall" and "Discard". If you don't get the snapshots saved properly to begin with you are obviously much more prone to get wonky results when you test your snaphsot's MIDI output.

nhoven Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Hi Phil, thanks for actually checking things out. I've revisited the problem too. Please take a look at my attached preset, It contains three CC toggles that control my 3-channel amp. It uses CC91 to toggle to the crunch channel, CC92 to toggle to the lead channel and CC90 to toggle between the two master volumes. I've setup four snapshots for Clean, Crunch, Lead, and Lead plus 2nd Master, my Helix is set up to show 4 stomps on the top row and 4 snaps on the bottom row, snapshot edits are set to discard. Everything works as long as you don't touch the CC Toggles between recalling snapshots. Also, recalling a modified snapshot doesn't work. Pleased follow these steps: Scenario 1: Messed up CC toggles - load the preset - recall snapshot 2 / Crunch: CC 91/127 is sent - activate 92 Lead and 90 Master: 92/127 and 90/127 are sent, both LEDs are turned on - recall snapshot 1 / Clean: only 91/0 is sent, but all CC Toggle LEDs are turned off. Helix should have sent 90/0, 91/0, 92/0 - activate 92 Lead: 92/0 is sent, LED is turned on - deactivate 92 Lead: 92/127 is sent, LED is turned off - The polarity of the CC Toggle is now flipped. Scenario 2: Recalling a snapshot - load preset - recall snapshot 2 / Crunch: 91/127 is sent - turn off 91 Crunch, turn on 92 Lead, turn on 90 Master: 91/0, 92/127, 90/127 is sent - again recall snapshot 2 / Crunch: The LEDs are reset, no CCs are sent What Helix SHOULD do: send every saved CC value on every snapshot change. As it looks now, it tries to look what was changed and tries to undo that, but obviously it misses a few things. My opinion: Don't try to be clever, do what works. It's not so much data. I've built and programmed my own midi floor controller (which I've been using on the road for a few years) that extensively uses CC toggles to control various states in my rack; it sends up to 32 different CCs and 16 different PCs with every preset recall, and I've yet to see any loss of data or latency due to sending too much data. Really. Don't be clever, be thorough. I hope this helps to clear up the issue. CC Toggle2.hlx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the manual, the Helix only sends CC data if the value saved in the snapshot you’re going to is different than the one you’re currently in. I know in the Facebook group Igor mentioned looking at changing this to global setting so people could choose how they wanted it to behave, but right now, it’s not designed to send every CC value per snapshot.

nhoven Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Well obviously it misses quite a few changes. My opinion: That's bad design that is bound to lead into issues like the one I demonstrated above. I can see the need to prevent duplicate sends, but make that toggle-able like the PCs (apart from making sure that the states stay consistent). And, if you want to prevent duplicate sends, make sure you catch every case. You have to admit: My scenarios above aren't that uncommon and complicated that they can be tossed aside as exceptions.

Clicking “Reconnect” doesn’t work, only turning the Helix off/on i also noticed the Placater dirty amp has lower output. I was in the middle of recording before the update and new tracks were a few dB quieter. It was easy enough to reamp (always record your DI!)

According to the MIDI OX monitor, the expected CC messages with the correct values are being sent when I change snapshots. Thanks for testing this - phil_m. Here's what I found: First, I owe Line 6 an apology, as the CC functionality within snapshots DOES work for me in V2.60. That being said, it was a royal PITA to get all my presets/snapshots working right again. After installing V2.6 and restoring from my backup, any footswitch assigned to a CC toggle in any snap of any preset, if it was stored in the LIT state, would not toggle with snapshot changes. I had to go to each preset one by one, activate each snapshot which needed a CC footswitch ON, toggle to stomp mode, touch the switch to enter command center, turn the lit value down to zero, toggle the footswitch to the UNLIT state, turn the LIT value back up to 127, then the CC footswitch would work properly, save the preset for that snapshot, move on to the next snapshot, and repeat ad nauseum for every LIT CC footswitch in every snapshot of every preset I had programmed. Luckily, I only have 2 sets worth of songs set up this way! Any CC footswitches which were stored in snapshots in their UNLIT state, seemed to work just fine once I switched to stomp mode. I use the CC toggle footswitches to operate a Voodoo Labs Control Switcher to activate crunch channel, lead channel and solo boost mode on a Mesa Boogie MKV, with the Helix wired using 4CM to the input and FX loop of the amp, and the aux input of the Helix connected to the Piezo out of my PRS guitar, driving acoustic IR's into my PA system. Everything else I've tried so far seems OK, although I don't use amp modeling hardly at all with this rig, mostly just FX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RufusOnFire Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I have gotten snapshots and CC Toggles to work, with one significant caveat. It seems as if single CC Toggles work fine, but multiple toggles engaged produces inconsistent results. I haven't had much time to fuss with it, I'm not really willing to invest much more time in the Helix at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest way to tell is look in HX Edit for the two new amp models and new effects like the treble booster.

chrismartinenvy Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi all I was on a gig last night, and I have an acoustic preset set up, with a couple of effects, and a looper. I was going in to the 6-switch looper and starting my loop, coming out of the looper back to stompbox mode, putting on an octaver to add a bassline, and when I went back in to the looper, it was still playing, but there was no indication that anything was actually playing. The overdub text that comes up was missing, and the incorrect play/pause icon was highlighted. I then tried to record an additional loop and it stopped playing altogether. Has anyone experienced anything similar at all? I turned it off between sets and it seemed to work after that. But obviously I don't really want this to happen again. Any ideas on what it could have been, or things I might be able to do to avoid this kind of isssue happening again? Thanks in advance for your help guys Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfet Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Not sure if this existed in pre-2.60 versions too: 1. Select a preset with an amp block 2. Open Global Settings 3. Select any category (e.g. Ins/Outs) 4. While touching a footswitch, press Page Left or Page Right. Result: While the "Global Settings" Screen is still being displayed, the rotary knobs change to amp controls instead of the settings. I'll open a ticket for that. [EDIT] While it was perfectly reproducible a moment ago, I can't seem to stimulate this condition anymore. It seems to be a more complex connection of events or a sporadic bug.

davidb7170 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Ok, found another one, I think. Besides the Variax model selection not displaying "Don't Force", the speaker selection when editing a amp and cab model will wipe out the bracketed amp parameters for snapshots if you push the joystick in to view the speaker selection list. If you just rotate through the speaker selections, it doesn't wipe out the parameters. This is new behavior. The obvious work around is to use separate amp and cab blocks, or not to push the joystick, but is annoying... This is the fw 2.60 on my helix floor.

swanny8777 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 So I updated to 2.60, and have been enjoying the update. There are two things that I have noticed: 1. MIDI Messages Assigned to Stomp Buttons I have posted before regarding MIDI bugs in stomp mode and command center; so far the Instant Commands are working better than they were before, but sometimes the stomp CCs can be a bit buggy. The main thing I've noticed is that if I have a CC message assigned to a stomp button, it will occasionally switch to a lit state in between snapshots; this wouldn't normally be a huge deal for me, but I mainly use the CC messages to utilize transport controls in Ableton Live. Occasionally when I switch snapshots, the Fast Forward button will be lit, and then I can't stop the fast forward function unless I completely clear the MIDI message from that particular stomp... weird... Anyone else run into this? 2. Unexpected Parameter Changes In Snapshots So, I believe I have experienced this before 2.60, but it was never so frequent that I felt the need to post to forums... Since updating, however, it seems to be happening a lot more often. The unexpected changes occurs on a multitude of blocks--Amp (Presence settings), Modulation (Time), Delay (Time, Feedback, and Mix), and Reverb (Mix). Two things happen: First, there are occasions when the time parameter switches from my tempo specific note values (such as 1/4 or 1/8) to milliseconds. Second, there are times when the snapshot value shifts whatever value I have to 0%, 1%, or 100%. This is of course a huge shocker to me when I hit a note or chord with delay on and suddenly the note doesn't stop repeating due to the feedback being at 100%. I've not been able to pinpoint exactly what causes the issue, but I think it may have to do when I plug in my Variax and press the model knob to turn on the Variax (which, by the way, my Variax always turned on automatically [if I'm remembering correctly] when I'd connect to my old HD500, is this the way other peoples' Variax functions with their Helix?). It may also just happen when I change quickly between snapshots. One last strange thing in regards to this issue: It seems like this either affects how the Helix exports or imports the presets as well. There are times when I know I export the preset with all the right settings, but other times I can load the preset and the issue is evident upon importing it to a new preset. Again, anyone else run into this problem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwanhamzah Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I've updated to 2.60 and designed a few great sounding patches based around the new Cali Texas Ch.1 Model. However, is anyone else facing this issue I have, where the volume keeps dropping and then completely disappears? I've tried a few solutions that I've seen provided after searching about this online - such as not leaving the bass control at 0 (I have mine at 0.3, and 3.9 depending on gain structure and snapshot), and also assigning EXP 2 Pedal Position to 'Global' instead of 'Per Preset'. Unfortunately that still does not resolve the issue. It definitely is solved after I go to a different preset and then back again, but that does make it highly worrisome. Just played two relatively big shows where I had a bit of anxiety just making sure my volume wasn't dropping by continually going back and forth between presets, in between songs. Do chime in if you're facing this - and also if there are any solutions! best, Redwan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workaround solution for the last block turn off when either swap (Oh another bug perhaps?) or change snapshot by hitting the FS (I dont want to use the editor other than to rename some of the snapshots for this task as i have to use the unit to colour the rings anyway) is to copy over the same preset again from Fremens bundle and swap the snaps around then color the FS rings then hit save. Well what do you know it ISN'T a bug it's actually an OPTION. If you VERY QUICKLY touch two FS in Snapshot mode you will be asked if you want to copy one snapshot to the other FS you touched.. If you hold your fingers a little bit longer on the FS.s you will be asked if you want to SWAP Snapshot.

popsongsmith Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I posted this over at TGP, but no replies... There seems to be a bug in the looper after 2.6 install. If I create a loop using the 6-button looper in one patch and then switch to another patch that has a 6-button looper block, I can't overdub using the other patch. The overdub icon reverts to the record icon, and when I hit the footswitch, it creates a new loop from scratch, erasing the original loop. EDIT: actually, I can overdub in the other patch, but only after hitting the play button first. and you have hit it on exactly the beat the loop starts on, or it will screw up the timing relative to how badly you missed the beat. either way, this is not a reasonable workaround. This only happens with the 6-button looper, not the 1-button. I never had this issue before the update. I'm really bummed, because I use this all the time. I'll create a loop with a guitar tone and then switch to another patch for a bass tone, or a completely different amp. One other issue... When overdubbing with the 1-button looper, there's a delay when you hit the switch. With the 6-button looper, the overdub begins the instant you hit the switch, but with the 1-button looper, if you hit the switch on the exact beat the overdub starts, there's a moment of silence before the overdubbed part begins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I submit a bug report? thanks JeffM I know it’s been a while since 2.21, but has 2.60 fixed this for you? I still get the random dim/lit switch occasionally when changing snapshots...

matsansan Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I am having the exact same issue as the user "blutac" on TheGearPage, namely that the right headphone channel distorts. I am using Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, rated at 64 Ohm. -See his post here on TGP -I have tried rolling back to 2.54 and done a total reset of everything (foot switches 9+10 on startup), but the problem is still there Please fix this urgently, silent practice at home is how I use my Helix most of the time.

Has it always distorted or did is just start recently? Does it do it on all presets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
