Another user on the HXFX Users Facebook page is having the same issue. Is there a global setting causing this somewhere, or a bug? In the pic, Snapshot 3 located on FS4 is coded blue for reference, this happens on all presets and the only command is for the snapshot on the footswitch. I have the same issue on my HX FX. Also, with a snapshot assigned to FS5 it sometimes takes two taps to actually change snapshots. I assume it’s a bug. It seems to work correctly if I use FS1-FS3 for my snapshots instead of FS4-FS6.

The_Elf Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 2.91 has not fixed the tempo-synced delay time versus tap light problem introduced with 2.90. The light and delay time bear no relation to each other in either 'Authentic', or 'Transparent' mode. I realise that these are difficult times, so please just let me know that you're aware of it and a fix is envisaged. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the led has always been out of sync with the tempo. I believe someone said to me about a similar issue with the midi tempo receive that the led and the tempo itself work in different clocks in the Helix so they will always be desynced. You have to trust your ears. In my tests way before this tempo bug in 2.90 my delays and modulation were synced either with midi received tempo or tap tempo but the led never was.

Thing is, for whatever (psychological?) reaons, I find it incredibly tough to play along with the flashing. Happened to me before when trying to use my smartphone metronome just in optical mode.

I think this is a bug, because I used this feature a lot to play along tracks with Eb-tuning, while leaving my guitar at standard tuning. FYI, resetting the unit with FS2+FS3 and then loading a backup of my stomp solved this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said in other posts the led and the actual tempo run on different hardware clocks and they're like a stopped clock that's right twice a day. I don't believe this issue is something that can be fixed and I believe L6 are aware of this. Use your ears and the reported tempo in the helix for reference and not the led for your tests.

I don't believe this issue is something that can be fixed and I believe L6 are aware of this. Use your ears and the reported tempo in the helix for reference and not the led for your tests. Well, I'm not saying it's accurate enough to use it as a metronome replacement (which won't work anyway for most people, regarless whether it's coming from a metronome app or the Helix), but it's defenitely accurate enough to give you a good start up tempo (should you need to count in based on the tempo programmed in the Helix) or information about delay taps. I have measured things a bit and the LED is always flashing slower than the actual tempo, but at, say, 100BPM, the first 4 beats are sufficiently accurate. And as it doesn't serve any other than "informational" purposes, this is just fine in my book. Ok, I never exactly needed it anyway, but I could imagine it to be helpful to check whether the Helix has registered my taps properly.

The_Elf Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 No, no, no guys!!!!!! I have to correct you. The tap light was always in sync. It wasn't 100% accurate, but it was always very close. It was me that hassled them to fix it so that it was 100% accurate, and one of the 2.8 releases finally fixed it fully. From 2.8x (I don't recall which) it was 100% accurate and would stay synced to the delay time over several minutes. I know - I tested it, and have been using it for improv performance on stage ever since! I won't bore anyone with the details, but being able to see a light to guide my loop/delay improv is critical to me, hence me wanting it sorted out properly. Thankfully they did. It was perfectly possible to rely on it as a visual metronome - even before it was 100% Clearly most people didn't know it had been fixed, but I certainly did. Sadly it's now more broken than it ever was. What is the use of a tap tempo light that doesn't reflect the tempo!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you were using delays with long, LONG repeat trails over a couple of minutes (I know, don't ask - it's just a specialist requirement of what I do! ). But it was fixed. Now it's not fixed and much worse. Hopefully they can figure out what broke it and get it back in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivanmongiardo Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 After upgrading my HxEffects firmware to 2.91 version, the output volume is lower by -6dB circa. Please note that I've already checked this on my DAW, with the same output settings (instruments) on my HxEffects, same guitar, same patch, same routing, same project, and I've compared a new take with the older one I've recorded 2 days before the new firmware. So, it's definetly a bug or a new behavior from the last firmware and from my testing is related to the IR block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivanmongiardo Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 After upgranding my HxEffects to 2.91, I've noticed a strange behavior if I put a stereo double tracking block just before a/b split.

Right now, we have much more time to spend at home and I tried to make some recordings using DAW(Reaper) and faced annoying trouble... once I’m plugged I’m hearing some hum and clicks (ticks) whatever I may call it... I hoped it’s monitoring defect, but hellno, it’s been recorded as well... it makes studio work impossible... could please share your experience? Thanks fellows!!!

The settings on the Helix are only relevant in case you record via SPDIF, otherwise you can leave them at any setting. I would rather try to raise the buffer size in Reaper (and obviously not record at sample rates higher than 44.1kHz or 48kHz, to keep the CPU load in check).

PaulJam Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Device: HELIX Floor Firmware: 2.91 Global Settings: Footswitches/Stomp Select [Press] Bug: Stomp switches react with a noticeable delay Hi, I have a HELIX with firmware v2.91. Ever since I upgraded to firmware v2.8x I had the problem, that there was a noticeable audible delay (maybe 100 to 200 ms) between pressing a switch in stomp mode and the bypass state of the assigned pedals actually changing. This is especially annoying when changing between a clean and an overdrive sound. Today i played around a bit with the global settings and found out what setting causes the delay. If the setting "Stomp Select" under "Footswitches" is set to "Press" or "Touch+Press" the delay is there. When selecting "Off" or "Touch" the foot switches react immediately without any noticeable delay. Can anyone confirm this behavior or add other useful information before I submit a support ticket?

bwQuestion Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Because of the tap tempo issue, I had to roll back to 2.82 from the 2.9. I can confirm that on 2.82, the tempo light and the timing of the unit are sync'd. What I can also say is that if I play a lick on the up beat the delay will happen when the light is off, thus giving the impression that they are not together, but they are. The light is flashing the time from when it was put in. The sound of the effect is timed from when the note is struck. It is very possible that all of you disagreeing about the light are all correct. On 2.82, if you play in time with the light, the sound will be in time with the light. If you do not play in time with the light, the sound will not be in time with the light, but it will be in the correct time. Hope that helps.

I was only using the new phaser, but I can use another one instead while they fix this. EDIT: just rolled back, and tap tempo light matches the rhythm in delays and modulation effects.

Melissiah Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Rolling back to 2.9 Updating to 2.91 helix floor freeze at recovering preset #581. Reboot and start from 582. did the update a 2nd Time and ils the same. But my real bug now: when I assign a snapshot, the camera logo is not there. It looks like a stomp. Bigger bug.
