Rewolf48 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The downloads page lists Helix 2.54, but the notice on this forum didn't get updated and it doesn't look like many people noticed.

mxk116 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Installing now. Won’t know more until I put it through its paces. Based on the description of the update I am not anticipating a dramatic difference from V2.53. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HonestOpinion Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 According to Line6(Frank Ritchotte https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?posts/26088563/) even though it is not listed in the bug fix notes for 2.54 they have actually fixed the issue where you could not get the proper level of saturation with the 'Mix' control on the new HX Mono reverbs. Yay! Btw, seems worth mentioning that at least as of the writing of this post the latest version of HX Edit is 2.52 and the latest version of the firmware is 2.54. These two are at least for now a matching pair. I also got prompted by the 1.12 version of the Line6 Updater (automatically installed by the 2.52 HX Edit package) to upgrade to the 1.14 version of the Line6 Updater. So go grab the latest version of the Updater before you do this firmware update. If you are already on the 2.52 version of HX Edit you will not need to update the editor(yet?). You will just be upgrading your firmware with the latest Line6 Updater. Good on Line6 for having the Updater prompt me for the latest version. Don't know if it did this in the past as I always had the latest version already but the upgrade process in general is definitely improving all the time.

phastings Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The SPDIF dropout issue appears to be fixed! I've tested for about 2 hrs and have not had a dropout. It used to dropout around 30 minutes or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StruckingFuggle Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I'm rolling the dice............ Installed Updater 1.14 and 2.54 is going down right now. (nervously chewing on fingernails)............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkinsi Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Yes, I noticed. No more frikkin SPDIF/AES dropouts! I've been shouting for a fix for about a year. Don't chew your fingernails. Its disgusting. And your Helix won't appreciate it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmk5140 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Anyone else having a problem with the tuner audio routing? I have mine mine set to send audio to Send 3/4 when the tuner is on... but nothing is sent. Same for Send 1/2, although 1/4” and multi work. Sends work fine outside the tuner screen. Worked fine prior to update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yes, others have reported that 2.54 broke external tuner out. There's a thread about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfourtunately for me, I'm still having dropouts using S/PDIF after this 2.54 update ( Helix Floor > Roland Octa-Capture ) :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Not sure what the link is for the thread but essentially it boils down to if you want to use external out on the tuner out you have to roll back to the 2.53 firmware. It is a known bug in the 2.54 firmware. I am sure it is on their short list to fix it in the next firmware revision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crucible Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Ahhhh I've only bought the Helix HX this week, immediately updated to 2.54, and have been trying to get it to work with my favourite tuner for days without success - so now I know why.....

Makron Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I use simple pitch to drop tunning (all strings) of my guitar, mix 100% to move E standard to Eb standard, D standard, ETC... Now with lot of artifacts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with lot of artifacts.. It was never a polyphonic pitch shifter, on any firmware version. It's surprising you were ever able to make it work reliably.
