tekhed Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Is there a way to do this? I've made a lot of presets in Helix Native that I'd like to just port over to my floor unit and try out at a gig. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Sure, its easy. Just read page 16 in you Helix Native Pilot's Guide. Here's a free preview: With a Helix device connected, you can drag a preset directly from Helix Native plug-in's Presets panel and drop directly into the Presets panel of the HX Edit application to import the preset into your Helix device. Likewise, you can drag a preset from the HX Edit app into the Helix Native plug-in to import your device's library presets into the plug-in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekhed Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thank you so much. I swear I read the manual front to back, but... clearly not! I will try this as soon as I get my Helix floor unit back in my studio (as it seems HX Edit won't even launch without the hardware connected). Drag and drop... wow. That is pretty cool. Thanks again!

soundog Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 For some weird reason I have pretty much stopped reading novels. These days when I buy any new hardware or software, I download the manual on my iPad, and use it for bedtime reading. Benefits: 1) I learn all kinds of weird sh*t about my equipment I would never have known, and 2) It works better than drugs for falling asleep quickly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skisquash Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 If you have the HX Effects (HXFX), can you use HX Edit & Helix Native to strip out the non-HXFX specific preset settings to make the preset work with the HXFX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The preset format for the HX and the HXFX are a different file format, so not interchangeable. Theres an idea for interchange on IdeaScale, so vote here: https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/HX-EFFECTS-HELIX-PRESET-SHARING/925115-23508#idea-tab-comments If you haven't signed up, its quick and easy to do.

skisquash Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Yep, aware of that and already voted. Clarifying the use of Native to edit the presets to work with HXFX. Some have referenced this in the FB groups but confirmation is still pending. They edited the preset and changed the extension / file type.

soundog Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 It make sense if the basic file contents (text-based) are the same that you could edit the preset (cut out HXFX non-supported stuff) and then change the extension. Why not experiment with it .... it may be a simple thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
