MeirSherman Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 A friend of mine has a Helix and so do i, ....I like his presets and patches...Is there a way for me to just copy or transfer from his Helix to mine ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Sure. Use the Helix app/editor to export the preset files on one computer, copy them to a USB stick or attach them to an email to get them on the other computer, then use the editor again to import them to the other Helix.

I'd also say that you and your friend should have the same firmware version just to be safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestOpinion Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'd also say that you and your friend should have the same firmware version just to be safe. Presets from an earlier firmware version will usually load ok as well. You just want to make sure that your Helix is on the same firmware version (best case scenario) or a later one than the presets you are loading. If you load presets from an earlier version of the firmware make sure you restart the Helix after loading as it will do an update process on the newly loaded presets.

dmiller034 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Right, but you have to copy each patch separately? Can you connect the two Helix line 6 devices to do a straight copy of all custom patches? I know custom IRs will not all work with the copies as well.

If you want to copy patches and IRs from one Helix to another, the easiest way is probably using the Restore from Backup feature in HX Edit and selecting the setlists you want to transfer. You can also load all the IRs from one Helix to another using the Restore from Backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebodyelse Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Directly from one unit to another? Dunno, but via HX Edit would be no different to if you bought patches and IRs off the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
