welzijnswerker Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hi, I have installed the helix editor on my PC and firmware 2.01 on the helix using the install notes provided by line 6 on this forum. Now I want to install the editor on my laptop as well. Do I have to take all the steps again (including backing up the presets, resetting the helix) or can I just install the editor? thanks for your reply Tomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Line 6 Updater is responsible for Firmware installation, that's when you usually need to do a "Reset" on Helix. The "updater" application also installs the USB driver and the "Editor" software. The editor is simply a tool for communicating with and modifying the settings inside your Helix hardware. So, you could do that from any computer with a suitable USB port, driver and editor installed. Note: It maybe a good idea to also make another copy of your presets on the laptop. Think of it as a "Fail Safe" backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to download the Helix software installer (not the firmware file) then run the installer and select the driver and the editor for installation.
