silverhead Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The release notes that appear on the download page include detailed installation instructions. Follow them closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 If you download and install the latest Helix editor application (just called "Helix") from here, it will give you everything you need to install the update. It should install the Helix drivers, the Line 6 Updater app, and the Helix editor app. If you don't have any of your own presets you want to back up, you can just go ahead and run Line 6 Updater, and it will guide you through the update process.

Except, the one thing that I did notice in your post, is the fact you are using a Mac. Hence my additional note below. A couple of things to bear in mind - IIRC. First check if the Mac can see your Helix from the System Preferences "Sound" and/or also by using the Audio MIDI Setup application inside your Utilities folder. I know it's obvious, but it's easy to overlook things like that. Secondly, I understand that the drivers are installed on PC systems automatically, but you may have to install the custom driver that was written specifically for the Mac OSX 10.11.4 and above. Get it from here: Helix Mac Driver 1.00 Public Beta Line 6 Software (make sure you check the Beta options box). Just a thought and worth a mention!
