glideman Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yeah... I'll probably hurry it along a bit more... LoL! What's funny is I was at 2.11. Hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanecgriffo Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 i didn't update last time so will get a bundle's worth when the next one rolls up. the multiband compressor was the only thing that piqued my interest in that lot but i do have to say i'm getting a bit sick of the bug that effects the pedal when saving wahs and other parameters ( they never seem to save properly) -that got fixed didn't it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hideout Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I’m with shanecgriffo on this one. While I’m also a bassist, I don’t ever use the Helix for bass and that last update was pretty focused on that instrument. The multiband comp is definitely interesting but not interesting enough to go through the update process. I just hope they’ve got some more interesting stuff other than more amp models in the next update. Otherwise, I’m staying put on 2.11. It’s stable and I’m happy with my sounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicLaw Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm at 2.20 and awaiting 2.30 with the new Helix Edit. Hopefully, by the time 3.0 arrives (my guess, likely not until 2018) the entire Backup, Update, Rebuild, Restore scenario will have been overhauled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicLaw Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 anyone hear more on the2.30 release date?There has not been any official date nor specific time line announced. Hoping we'll see something released this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinDorr Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 anyone hear more on the2.30 release date? It was not by the end of September ;-) But I'd guess soon because otherwise they have to do a quicky (less than 3 month cycle) before NAMM ...

PiFromBRC Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I haven't seen any information on a 2.30 update. In fact I was getting ready to ask if there is anything in the works. Can someone point me to a thread that discusses this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestOpinion Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I haven't seen any information on a 2.30 update. In fact I was getting ready to ask if there is anything in the works. Can someone point me to a thread that discusses this? There are some mentions of what is coming here although I can't remember exactly what topics they are in. Line6 doesn't usually tell us exactly when the next update is coming or what exactly will be in it to avoid disappointments in the event the rollout is delayed but the Gear Page has some vague comments regarding what a few of the things in the next update and Line6 often drops bread crumbs there when things are up and coming. A lot of posts to pore through but searching for "2.3" might point you in the right direction. https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/line6-helix.1586637/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinDorr Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Line 6 was on a steady average ~4 month development/release cycle for Helix SW before they spent more time to get Native right. Nothing wrong with that, but I am guessing that they want a FW/SW update for Helix for NAMM and unless they delay another release till then or do a very quick turn around for a 2.4 for NAAM at the end of Jan 2017, 2.3 should happen pretty soon.

MusicLaw Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Given the sheer magnitude of Line 6's efforts developing, programming, testing and introducing Helix Native -- soon to be followed by release of an entirely new generation of Helix Edit -- coupled with what must also be a massive undertaking to restructure Helix's software housekeeping procedures (Installation, Update, Backup, Restore, IR Management, etc.), It is no wonder that firmware releases have been less frequent. It remains impressive that fw 2.30 is being depicted to include 7 amps and 7 FXs. Regardiess when 2.30 and Helix Edit arrive, it is beginning to seem like 2018 may also be an active year of Helix releases, and when we may see Helix 3.0. I do not doubt Line 6 may have some fascinating announcements at Winter NAMM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
