Helix Bug Reports

Recommended Posts

I updated from FW 3.00 to FW 3.01,... now my helix floor cannot control my PowerCab plus 112 anymore ...

I can hear the audio signal, but the parameters of the output block do not change anything on the PC+ anymore.

The powercab plus is up to date (FW2.001) , I tried to change the cable, but the problem persist.

Any idea ?

 

 

Edit : --> I restored the factory settings (power up while pressing buttons 9 & 10), then restored a backup, and now it seems to work again.

HX Stomp 3.01, Favorites won't load because of "DSP Overload", although I can load the exact same effects/amps if I don't try to add them from the favorites. It happens even on empty presets, so I really have a hard time believing it is actually because of DSP overload.

Here's a video that shows the problem.

Updated to 3.01 HX Stomp version like other people here, I lost my main custom presets with split A/B cabs.

The splits were odds after update (screen 1 below) and modifications (screenshot 2) were not saved , then after few trys deleted.

Presets then does not have sounds anymore or cannot be edited or are deleted...

And on the pedalboard footswitch configuration are blank (and should not be)...

 

Cant believe this mess... So disappointing!

You need to download and install HX Edit 3.0. You didn’t lose anything.

Bug or a "feature"…?

 

With Poly Pitch block active, it's not being bypassed if I have set my Stomp's global preferences to DSP Bypass type, and activate the latter.

Haven't encountered this with any other block so far, including Poly Capo or Poly Wham.

 

Firmware 3.01.0, no other issues that I'm aware of.

Thank you for your feedback. In fact, I did loose some presets due to wrong backup timing... but manage to recreate them.

Will read more carefully next time and do my backups prior upgrade.

Thx for your time.

Hola!  Después de la actualización 3.0 se presentó un problema en mi Helix Floor, la actualización se hizo sin problemas pero luego de estar usando la Helix una hora, se puso en rojo el nivel de entrada de la guitarra que se muestra en la pantalla de la Helix y el audio se fue, tocaba la guitarra pero no sonaba, luego se sentía como que quería retornar la señal pero de pronto se apagó y comenzó a parpadear los led, apagué la Helix y luego lo prendí y seguía parpadeando los led y no arrancaba. Al día siguiente encendió sin problemas y la pude usar pero luego de un rato comenzó otra vez el mismo problema. luego de unos días pude hacer la actualización 3.01, pensé que con esa actualización se corregiría el problema pero de igual modo después de un rato ocurrió la misma falla. Después de un día lo prendí y realicé nueavamente la actualización a 3.01, previamente lo resetee, la actualización a 3.01 se realizó sin problemas, cabe indicar que la primera actualización a 3.01 lo hice a través del Edit siguiendo los pasos de instrucción de Line6 y la segunda vez que actualicé a 3.01 lo hice del Updater y se actualizó sin problemas, sin embargo después de un rato de uso nuevamente se pusó en rojo la señal de entrada de la guitarra y se fue el audio y se apagó y parpadeaban los led, adjunto video.

El 18 de enero de este año mi Helix Floor tuvo una falla similar, generé un ticket y me derivaron con el distribuidor para que lo revise el técnico, el técnico lo revisó y después de varios intentos pudo solucionarlo pero como verán se ha vuelto ha presentar después de la actualización de 3.0.

 

La verdad me preocupa esta falla recurrente en mi equipo, ya generé un ticket a Line6 y estoy a la espera de la respuesta, en caso conozcan esta falla por favor su ayuda para solucionar este inconveniente.

 

Muchas gracias!

Vaya putada, Ernesto :( Tiene pinta de que solo el técnico podrá ayudarte como la otra vez, porque parece un problema serio. Yo pediría que me cambiarán la unidad, siendo algo tan frecuente y tan grave. No sé si por aquí alguien podrá ayudarte, y de hecho la mayoría son extranjeros, con lo que seguramente no entiendan tu post :(

 

Mucho ánimo y suerte con esa avería. Ojalá te lo puedan solucionar pronto.

This is indeed a bug. I have logged it for review by the team. Thank you for the report!

Hola,

Eso parece ser algo muy serio y necesitará un técnico para arreglarlo. No estaría contento con esto, porque ha sucedido antes, pediría que lo reemplacen.
Espero que esto ayude y sí, soy extranjero.

Hello,

 

i've recently updated my Helix LT firmware to version 3.0.0 and there were no problems.

But then I've got an email, that one should update to 3.0.1 to avoid some audio problems. Since updating, I'm having disconnecting issues with Helix edit.

Today an audio coming from connected MacBook broke in the middle of the song with some strange noise and never came back (reconnect or restart helped then).

Is this a known issue? I'm planning to downgrade to 3.0.0, for me it was working just fine.

Regards,
Alexander

I've only just picked up a HX Stomp, but after updating to 3.01 I've noticed that when scrolling through snapshots, after going from 1 to 2, then back to 1, all the blocks go on. It doesn't revert back to the saved setting, it just turns them all on, and the rest of the snapshots in the preset also have all the blocks stay on. Has anybody else had this issue?

Did you restore your Stomp from the backup file you made before updating the firmware to 3.01?

 

The update will have reset you Global settings, and the Globals determine your snapshots behaviour.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

I have the Helix LT. It has been updated to Helix 3.01. I own an Alienware I9 with 2070 super nvidia, windows 10 all latest updates - I say this because, I am getting the blue screen of death when I have the Helix plugged into my computer or Helix LT plugged into my Presonus Audiobox USB 96 that is plugged into my computer. Does anyone else have problems like this?

I am fairly certain that there is an issue with MIDI on the 3.0/3.01 on the HX Stomp Command Center. I've been going CRAZY about it. I am trying to sync up a midi controller with a command that set, and it's working half the time. My head is about to explode now, but if there are any midi gurus here, I could go into deeper details. I'm stuck right now. I feel I have tried every combination to rule out other possible culprits, but others may know of better ways to solve this....

 

Basically, my stomp is set with one preset = one song. I want it to recall certain "panels" on my Soleman Midi controller, that will sometimes have song-specific panels, or other times generic panels. I programmed most of them, but when trying to change from one preset to the other, it works for a few presets, then it stops working and the soleman stops answering to the messages.

 

So weird...

Hi,

 

What you’re describing seems to be very odd. I can understand, if you have your HXLT connected directly to your computer via USB, there could be a problem that causes you to encounter the BSOD. Although, if this happens when your LT is connected to the audio inputs on the front of your AudioBox, and the PreSonus is hooked up to the USB, that would indicate the problem is more likely to be something is not right with your computer and/or the USB. When using the LT into the AudioBox then that is simply an audio signal, nothing really to make the PC collapse.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Well, it has happened since Windows 10 most recent updates (October and November). It happened to my POD XT Live as well. I thought it was just old, but I am wondering if part of the windows fixes has somehow interacted with DAWS or ?? The other day I was connected directly from the Helix LT to my computer playing in Studio One software. I unplugged it from my computer as there is no option to eject it and then it happened.

Hi,

data:

  • HX floor 3.01 
  • HX Edit 3.0
  • Windows 10.

 

I found something weird in the bass amp section since I'm using the 3.01 version, I don't know if it happened already in older versions.

I use a lot the Agua 51 bass amp for my fretless tone (who doesn't want to sound like Gary Willis.. lol) and I discovered that when I set the mid tone all up to 10, the patch stops outputting signal (sometimes I have to wait a few seconds, before the silence kicks in). I have tested and repeated it several times on a clean patch. Amp+cab or just amp, connected with HX editor...., not connected to computer and edit directly on the HX floor... All the same silence?

 

Can someone confirm this is a bug?

 

Thanks,

 

Lucien

Hi, 

 

I have just tried to see if this would happen for me, but no.

 

I selected a blank preset slot and add the Agua 51 amp and cab and played through without and issues. Cranked the Mid up to 10 and just the same - plays fine no glitches, dropout or silences from here. Played with it for a while - seems O.K.

 

Helix floor 3.01

HX Edit 3.0

Mac OS 10.13.6 High Sierrra

 

You could try a reset or even a re-install

Is this a bug? On HX Edit block is shows as a mixer but none of the parameters are editable, on the hardware you can tweak them and it is reflected corretly on HX edit..

Does it makes any difference if you tweak the parameters? To me, what's being shown on HX Edit makes sense because it's not really mixing anything in this configuration.

Good point, no tweaking parameters  do not make any difference.

Tap LED of HX stomp flickers irregularly

Firmware version: 2.92-3.0-3.01

Every time the tap LED is switched from other modes to stomp mode or scroll mode, the tap LED will flicker irregularly for a period of time, and then return to normal

I believe this is a bug, because other friends around me also have this problem

Hello! after firmware My Helix to 3.1. , the rotation function on the joystick stopped working, i can turn over the blocks only by moving the joystick in 4 directions, but the rotation does not work. 


Hi,

 

The Global setting will have defaulted to the factory set when you did the update on the firmware. Before updating you would have made a backup of the content of your Helix. Open HX Edit 3.0 and from under the File menu select “Restore from backup” and you can select to restore just the Global settings which you had previously. 
 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Helix FLOOR. Joystick on the right side stopped working in rotation mode. This happened after installing update 3.1. Mechanical movements are OK. But the switching functions on the display do not respond to the rotation of the joystick potentiometer. When the joystick is moved forward, backward and to the sides, the functions are triggered. Several times I did restore all backups. maybe I need to go back to version 2.92. and check the rotation mode?

Hi, once more,

 

Because you’re asking the exact same question - I will give the exact same answer as above.

 

Restore your Global settings from your backup the you made prior to updating the Firmware. 
 

HX Edit v3. From under the File menu item and select “Restore from backup”. In the window that opens next, select the backup file with the most recent date. Then only select the Globals to be restored.

 

You could also select the “Pac-man” function from within the Global Settings Menu on your hardware unit. Preferences > Joystick encoder > Selection.

 

You could revert back to 2.9x, but if that fails you may need a tech to check out the solder joints on the joystick.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Today my HX edit crashed, also along with that... in my preset I have the EXP 2 control the wah pedal automatically: meaning if it's below 5% it turns off, if it's 6--100% it is on.  When HX edit crashed, the wah-wah on/off value got flipped.  So now the wah was on when it was under 5%, and off when it's 6--100% percent.  Basically it's flipped.  I could not replicate this issue.

 

As a developer I can say that line 6 does not store proper on/off values.  It's basically effect.OnValue = !effect.OnValue.  So if something happens, some glitch, or whatever, then your on/off values can get flipped.  There was a more serious bug with the momentary switch a few versions ago where it was very easy to flip the value if you are not wearing shoes... yep shoes.  Anyway, I haven't reported this because it's impossible to replicate it again.

New bug with 3.01:

 

When adding either the Arbitrator Fuzz or the Pocket Fuzz (could be true with other pedals, I haven't tested all) everything works fine when that pedal is engaged at first. When you turn off the pedal, then the amp/cab acts like it's been bypassed as well (it's a little tough to tell if the cab is doing this as well). Definitely sounds like the amp is bypassed. If I swap the Arbitrator Fuzz for something like the Compulsive Drive it fixes the problem. Again, not sure if this is an issue with other pedals, but those two exhibited this problem.

Hi all,

 

I am not sure if this has been already reported or not, so please excuse me if that's a duplicate.

 

After update Helix Floor to 3.01 I have a problem with bank switching, being more precise from bank 2 to 1. When I am on preset 2A-2D and would like to switch back to 1A-1D, pressing BANK DOWN switches 2 banks to 32A-32D. I have to press then BANK UP to be back on 1A-1D. This issue occurs only when switching from bank 2 to 1. All the others (3-2, 4-3 etc.) work fine.

Of course after the update I've done full Helix reset. 

 

Regards

Hi

Writing this as information about BSOD involving Helix and Hx Edit. After have hade a whole bunch if problems on my old PC, that I solved, built a new one on which one problem persist, BSOD when turning my Helix LT off. Future will tell if I’m right or wrong…

 

Short story – In >95% of the cases when I turn my Helix LT off and have HX Edit running I get a BSOD. If I close HX Edit before I turn the Helix LT off, never a problem. Most often with different error codes.

 

My conclusion – If HX Edit is running and has an established connection to the Helix LT my PC crash/BSOD, most likely due to HX Edit losing connection to the Helix LT. I guess the drivers and/or the HX Edit causes conflicts resulting in the BSOD. The BSOD happens sometimes immediately when turning the Helix LT on and sometimes it can take a few seconds. But it happens…

 

In September I build myself a new PC with a gen 10 processor and all hw new. Running Win 10 (latest version and updated drivers for motherboard), 16 GB RAM, M2 C:\-OS disk and separate SSD-disks for storage and recording. Optimized for audio/sound recording and do not use it for gaming. So, no G-hub, no mouse or keyboard drivers (HID) etc. Some connected devices using dedicated USB-ports, eg my Helix LT, Focusrite 18i6 (with drivers from September 2020) and from yesterday also my PC+ 112. Connected via USB are also mouse (wireless), keyboard, a USB-hub in the screen, all connected to one USB-port with one hub.

 

On my old PC (gen 3 processor running Win10) I had some other problems too, some causing BSOD and some causing freezing/extremely slow, eg G-hub driver problem, Microsoft updates screwing up my soundcard and some other applications, Focusrite drivers that had problems even causing BSOD etc. Those problems I solved, but the BSOD with HX Edit are the same on both the new and the old PC, this I can’t find another explanation than what I wrote above. There is on more common point that I can’t prove not being involved, the graphic card (NVIDIA). Different cards but the same driver platform (GeForce Experience). Have no graphic issues, but you never know.

 

As long as I remember to turn off HX Edit I have no real problem with this issue. I can wait for a bug fix and hope this can be a part of finding a solution. So why do I bring this up? Haven’t seen this described before and I think this can be one of problems generating BSOD for some or other interruptions eg during sw-updates. Well, other things can cause that too, like not reading instructions/manuals, PC not in shape, USB cables, USB-hubs, bad USB-ports etc. But this happens to me on two completely different hardware platforms (and I do read manuals and instructions :-). That’s more than a coincidence and has the potential to even cause other problems, other than the one I have seen.

 

One thing I can’t explain is that I never have had a problem to run an update, have never ever had a failed update. I would expect a failure eg. when there is a reboot involved… but never. My best guess is that the Helix LT doesn’t lose power during reboot, so the drivers are still “active/not released” on my PC. But this maybe be different on different PC’s.  

 

So, my speculations in a nutshell... I have opened a ticket on this and reported my conclusions/findings to Line6. And now document it on the support forum hoping it can helps to save someone from a BSOD :-).   

 

If you have any ideas on this I gladly take your feedback.

 

Thanks for reading this dreadful long post and wish you a continued Merry Christmas.    

 

Take care… //Per

Hmmm.... I've never had a BSOD in Windows 10 while turning off one of my devices before closing HX Edit. I don't have an LT, but I have the Helix Floor, Rack, Stomp, and HX Effects, and there's been many times when I've powered them off while HX Edit is still running. I just a message that says "Connection Lost" on the bottom of the screen in HX Edit.

Hi Phil

Yes, it’s strange. And to be honest, not sure if it’s a Win10-problem or drivers. I have two completely different PC’s and the new one is really slimed, nothing extra on it then basic apps (Office 365, two DAW’s some performance utilities).

 

I can add that if I start HX Edit before my Helix there is no problem, it says – “No device connected” and connect after turning on the Helix. It only crashes when turning off. I have hade my LT a bit more then 3 years and it is just a piece of joy.

Those problems started about a year ago, on my old PC. I can only speculate what started it. I suspect a Microsoft update/upgrade could be one cause. One of those gave me problem with my Focusrite and some other apps too. I hade to reinstall drivers for the LT and Focusrite. Focusrite released a new driver a bit later and since then I have not hade any problem with that. I know that Logitech G-hub was involved, that I found pretty quick. I know that during this time I could get BSDO both on tuning on and off the Helix LT. Main problem causing this was  the  G-hub.  Since May the only problem left on the old PC was this problem when turning off the LT when HX Edit was running. I hoped it was some kind of hw related problem, but it was the same on the new PC.  

 

My old PC was 8 years, but still running well. I decided to build a new as it started to get old, no updates of bios and drivers, some performance issues etc. This was a Win7 from the start and upgraded to Win10 when it was released. Almost sure I reinstalled Win10 short after due to instability, no problems after that. Can admit I have tested some apps on it, but I have kept it in good slim shape all the time and as said earlier not one Line6 update has failed for me, not on Helix, not on Pod HD Pro and not on PodXT (last one on an even older PC :-). The problems I hade has bin related to a broken SSD-drive and the problems I described above.

 

As stated before – Its no problem for me really as long as I close HX Edit before shutting down Helix, annoying though. So, hoping for a fix off cause. Question though is if this problem can be related to what other users relate to problems in updates, Edit losing or can’t find Helix etc. I have not had those problems, on my PC or on PC I have helped friends to install Helix and Stomp. PC comes in many configurations and different conditions… and behaves different.

 

Anyway, at this point I don’t know what to test so I see what Line6 come back with. Let you know

HX Stomp - FW 3.01

HX Edit - 3.00

Laptop OS - Win 10

Headphones connected to HX Stomp

 

I've come across a recurring issue that after switching through a few presets in HX Edit the guitar signal coming through the headphones just cuts out and won't come back until you restart the unit. HX Edit stays connected, and computer audio still passes through without issue, but there's no guitar signal whatsoever. 

 

Edit 1/4/21

 

I tried a factory reset, but the problem persists. The input block will light up when there is signal coming in, but won't pass the signal from either input, and the tuner does not register any notes.
