guix Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I am a bit surprised that helix has no way to save global settings and we need to set them up every version..... and they are not manageable from the app... https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Global-setting-in-Helix-App/832360-23508 https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Export-Import-for-Global-settings/891128-23508 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Line 6 has said that they are working on a new and more automated firmware update process. I expect that will include a save/restore of the global settings but am not certain about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guix Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hmmm surely those ideas should be in progress in that case no? Lets vote away in the meantime :- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doughadfield Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hi, This is becoming a major issue for me. whilst I appreciate and am grateful for regular firmware updates, it's a REAL PAIN having to reset everything to factory on every firmware update, then try to remember all the global setting changes I've made when tweaking my helix over time for live performance. It can be very damaging to a performance to suddenly find a setting not set, when it should have been. Therefore I need a way to save and restore global settings in the same way that setlists are saved and restored, so I can be sure the helix is back to where I left it, after the upgrade. Line6, if you're working on a fix for this, please let us know so we can stop fretting and simply hold our breath for the update!

zooey Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I keep an Evernote note with that info, update it from my phone just before doing an update or anything else that might mean I'll need that info. It doesn't change that often, for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierM Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I just take a picture with my phone, of every single Global Settings page, before an update/reset. I do agree would be great to restore from a file, but I also see Line6 is changing/adding/modifying stuff in the Global Settings area, almost for every major update...so I guess this is also why they are not yet offering that option.

PeterHamm Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Maybe it's because I am a beta tester and have therefore installed firmware or re-installed firmware many times more than all y'all (that is a thing)... but I have all my global setting idiosyncrasies memorized and it only takes me a minute (or less) to re-set them up. But I agree, this will be a welcome thing, and I think it's already coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdennis Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I am in the "pictures on phone" camp. I find it takes just a few minutes to reset the Global Settings and when new global setting features are added, modified, or even taken away I just re-click the pic. It would be nice to have a save like that available but like I found out when several amp model perimeters had been adjusted and added; sometimes it is just necessary to know your settings. I have even learned how to read the helix files in formatted clear text just for that reason. Still ... Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraseri Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Lets revive this good old thread because Line6 still hasn't done anything regarding this in OVER THREE YEARS. It is very very very annoying that Global settings are not saved!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very very very annoying that Global settings are not saved!!! Before you update, always do a full backup... when you update through HX Edit it forces you to do that. The global settings are included in that backup, and can be restored from there. If you only need to restore the global settings, then simply tell the restore to ONLY RESTORE the global settings :) If you are simply annoyed because Line 6 overwrites the global settings on some updates.... it is because new features were added to the global settings and it needs to initialized. As long as you have a backup before the update - it's a non issue! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
