jergin01 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Greeting fellow Helixers, So over the weekend I did the upgrade - went from 2.10 -> 2.50 (well had to hit 2.21 first). I have been using the Helix for about 1 1/2 years now, and I am in love with it... Helix + Ownhammers IRs = Heaven. After the upgrade, I only love it more. Anyway, I could have sworn you were able to edit Global Settings through the Editor application. I can't find the settings anywhere on 2.51, am I going crazy? My notes on 2.50- Startup is noticeably faster Really? A full state backup since 2.30 with Global Settings? Why didn't I upgrade sooner? Lonestar Amp is awesome, can't wait for the clean channel to be released. Were the blocks optimized to utilize less of the DSP? I read it on the forums a few times, but have not seen an official statement. -Still on my wishlist - ability to set individual Footswitches to Stomp/Snapshots, not just the 4/4 or all 8 settings. So you can do things like have 2 Snapshots and 6 Stomps displaying. Thanks for reading, and thanks to anyone who responds. Keep rockin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirtualGuitars Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Command Center and Global EQ is in the HX Edit application under the "Window" menu, but not Global Settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 There's no way to edit Global Settings from HX Edit (other than the Global EQ), but you can back them up and restore them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonpike Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 ...That's annoying. The 'global settings' knob on the stomp device doesn't seem to work anymore after my update to 3.01, and it's also not in HXEdit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamkan Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I'm totally surprised that Global Settings can't be edited even in HX Edit 3.51. It is remiss of Line 6 to not have included it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problably some intricate technical reasons for the global settings not being editable in HX Edit. If not, then there is only arrogant ignorance left.

Hi, I have to agree with you that there is some sort of technical reason for this, in much the same way that a lot of the hardware control options available on the Helix devices are not accessible in Helix Native. It’s the nature of the beast. One thing which confuses me more than anything with this quibbling about an editing feature not being available in HX Edit, is the fact that in order to use HX Edit with the hardware unit, it requires that they are physically connected via a USB cable. AFAIK, the theoretical max recommended length of a USB2 cable is approx 5 meters (16.4 feet), not exactly the ends of the earth, and I would imagine that most folk are actually tethered to their device with a much shorter cable, possibly around 2 or 3 meters. And this is a problem? I guess that, in this modern world, the average multi-fx user has become too idle to reach down and make a physical change to their Helix (whatever model). I mean it’s not like modifying Global Settings is something that requires regular hourly changes and updates to the unit. I have been using my Helix floor for more than 10 years and the amount of times that Global Settings has interfered with my workflow would be… now let me see, ah, yeah - never. Oh, and because I’m a studio rat, I have my Helix on a stand, within arms reach - works for me, but I also have a bad back from many years of lugging heavy equipment around. It’s not exactly a life and death issue, although you did manage to wake dead thread. Hope this helps/makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
