burton4snow Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I am trying to hook Helix lt to my computer but I am not sure which steps to do first? I want to control it by my computer with the editor. I want to download the new firmware. I don't need any of the variax stuff. but noticed there were flash memory updates do I need these? Is there a area I can go to to figure out what to do first because there are alot of downloads for the Helix Lt. Thanks I really want to like this thing.

rd2rk Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Download and install the Helix Editor. That installs the editor and the updater. Then open the Updater and select your device. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS to install the latest firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunedinDragon Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 That would the the Helix Editor version 2.60. To be clear, the download is separate from the install. You download the HX Edit 2.60 install program, then run the install program. Once that's finished you will have the Line 6 Updater program on your computer. Run that and follow the directions.

Hi again, Connect your Helix LT to your computer with a good USB cable then do the following and you you should be fine: Go to the Line 6 downloads page, you should select HX Edit under the All Software tab and then select whatever version of Windows or Mac OS you are using from All OS on the dropdown menus. This will take you to the correct download page, HX Edit 2.60 “The Spring Cleaning Update”. This is the only thing you need to download. When you install HX Edit it will also install the latest Line6 Updater v1.14 and any other drivers etc., that you may need. After the new HX Edit software has been installed, reboot your computer. Doing a clean install should clear any glitches that were linking to any old versions of the software which you may have installed When you’ve done this, ensure HX Edit is shutdown, then launch the new Line 6 Updater v1.14, click the about button to check the details. If all your connections are good the Updater should see your Helix. You can now proceed with the firmware upgrade, over your internet connection. Do not disconnect or turn off the power to your Helix during this process. When completed your Helix will reboot and rebuild the presets, then you are good to go, no hardware reset is required. Hope this makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
