ardie78 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hi. Installed 2.8 without problems. But there's a bug with the expression pedal. Whenever I engage the wah then go to another snapshot or preset. Exp 1 stays on. It won't go back to exp 2. I have exp 2 assigned to volume. Exp 1 is set to snapshot and exp 2 to global 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littletoe Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I have the same problem - That´s a major bug - I can´t really use 2.8 like that! My pedals sometimes do have to switch inbetween snapshots. Hope this will be fixed as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardie78 Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Only workaround I have right now is to hit the toe switch again before going to a different snap. Never had to do it before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsdenj Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The EXP Toe state is not being stored in the patch. It's effectively global. I hope this bug is fixed soon as it impacts all of my patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibanez19 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Same here! Affects nearly all of my patches, rendering 2.8 unusable for me. Had to roll back to 2.71. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregcroft Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I noticed the same thing...Hope this can be fixed soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHroom335 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Same here.Did complete uninstall everything from Helix and then reinstall HXEditv2.8. but still the same error with EXP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 One thing I think I found yesterday but haven't had time to fully investigate is the Exp pedal not maintaining it's position when switching patches even though the Global EXP position setting is on Global. Will investigate further tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolko60 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The 2.80 EXP bug confirmed. I can live with that but I can also understand a pain of those using EXPs more complicated way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hideout Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Now, I am definitely waiting for the next maintenance update as I'm still happy with 2.70. Do not need the headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nino369 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I've got the same problem too. Line 6 told me that they will release 2.80.1 in few weeks, or less. Never too soon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbsvein Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Same problem here. Hoping for a fix soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datacommando Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Got my Helix floor unit back from the service engineers who had fixed a solder tag that had come adrift from the Joystick. I spent most of the weekend making sure everything was O.K. before making the jump to 2.80, Sunday afternoon (already done it with HX Native previously). The "brain transplant" for the new Core was faultless and I was back up and running in around 25mins. Let the firmware rebuild the presets, then reinstalled my stuff with another restart and rebuild routine. That should have been it - other than this thing with the Expression Pedal. I don't use the onboard one because, even though it's a floor model it lives on a stand, therefore I use two external pedals as EXP 2 and 3.This is detrimental too a whole bunch of my presets, but I guess I will just have to live with it until it gets a patch from the Line 6 troops. Being a Studio Rat means that for me it's not "mission critical" and I will work round it. For anyone playing live gigs it must be a real PITA. The Expression Pedals 2 & 3 don't react to the Learn Controller but do show a 0-100% operation (and work) within the preset. The onboard Pedal shows EXP1 100% in the window and I can't get that to change at all. Apart from that BIG BUG we have a lot more fun stuff to play with.

gouzou Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Sorry I posted something similar also in another thread ... just for common info, I'm having the same kind of problem here - with 2.71, patches would always load with EXP2 activated - with 2.80, patches load with whatever EXP precedently activated Is it confirmed that Line6 knows about this bug?

jrichardson16 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hey everyone - i just updated to 2.8.2 tonight and noticed this bug is still there. I was hoping it would be fixed by now. Is there any other workaround so far or is this a bug for everyone. This is really a big one for me. Especially for wah effects i want across all my snapshots. Thanks!

Thanks! I believe this bug was one of the ones they covered when they released the 2.82 firmware. I've not really read any other reports of it with the 2.82 update, and given the nature of it, I imagine it would be everywhere now - especially since 2.82 has been out for almost six months now. Did you do perform a factory reset after updating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrichardson16 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Thanks Phil. I'll go check the bug reports and make sure it's in there I guess? No, i didn't do a factory reset. i did backup everything - but it loaded back in with no problem. Would a factory reset potentially fix this issue? Or going back to a previous release I guess would too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
