PhenJ Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hi All, I've finally gone and bought a Line 6 Helix, which i'm picking up tomorrow with a Yamaha DBR15 speaker. In preparation for the equipment tomorrow i've been downloading any updates required for the software and noticed it was at 2.30 for the Helix and wondered do I need to download all the previous updates before installing the 2.30 or can I just download 2.30 and receive all of the FX and Amps from the previous updates at the same time? Sorry for possibly such a simple question, but i'm eager to get everything installed straight away and get playing! :) Thank you in advance!

PhenJ Best to wait until you get it, and see what firmware is already in there. 2.3 has been around for a couple of months now. Plus, the 2.5 update is dropping in a matter of days... you'll find several threads around here discussing it ad nauseam. May as well wait for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lczegel Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I got my Helix about a month ago. The firmware was old, old, old, something like 1.2. I plugged it in and installed 2.3 with no problem at all. Intermediate updates were not required. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You highlight the fact that as long as you are not interested in doing a full state backup before going to HX Edit (2.3 at the moment) it looks like it is no problem going directly from an old version of the Editor/Firmware to what is currently the latest without an interim update. A particularly handy piece of information for people who have just received a new Helix and don't have to be concerned yet about restoring full backups (setlists, IRs, and global settings). Here is the quote from the HX Edit 2.3 release notes: - Full State Backup and Restore—Helix supports the all-new HX Edit application’s ability to perform full-state backup and restore. IMPORTANT! You MUST be running Helix firmware 2.20 or higher to use full state backup and restore! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
