Line 6 Edit Update Sliders Missing

[Wondo100]

Is it just me, did I do something wrong, but the new 3.11 update, the slider paths for parameter adjustments are now gone. I liked having that. Where did they go?

Hi,

 

You’ve been around here long enough to know that when weirdness starts to happen, a factory reset is the first thing to try.

 

Also, you didn’t mention if this is causing problems on the hardware unit. As this seems to be affecting HX Edit try a restart on the computer. (Have you tried turning it off and on again? - as the saying goes).

 

If that doesn’t fix it - go for broke and re-install.

 

You must be familiar with how this works, so let us know when you have fixed it - or raise a ticket with Support.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Yes. I am familiar with the procedures. Factory reset done. No problems on the hardware unit. Restarted the computer. Also, did a hard shut down of the computer. Uninstalled HX Edit and reinstalled HX Edit. Still, same problem. No slider paths just the slider. Not to my liking anymore. I need that reference of the slider path. This sucks as a ticket does not always yield results. I wonder if I am the only one experiencing this.

Submitted ticket. Tried everything and it sill will not work.

@Wondo100 Sorry not sure if you are talking about the alphanumeric values at the right side of the sliders which seem to be missing in your screenshot(I can confirm they are still here in HX Edit 3.11) or the sort of greyish tracks(bars) that used to be the background behind the sliders. If you are talking about the grey tracks don't bother reinstalling or resetting, they are indeed not there in HX Edit 3.11 or at least they don't show up on my screen. I suppose the bars might still be there with perhaps some color value that was changed that affected the contrast making them effectively invisible(at least on my monitor) and although the old look might arguably be superior depending on your aesthetic I find it doesn't matter to me much one way or the other.  Good catch though, hadn't noticed them missing until you posted.

@HonestOpinion This is the answer I was looking for. Yes. I am speaking of the grey track bars in the background behind the sliders and they are missing in 3.11. (alphanumeric numbers are still there, just did not capture them in the picture). I knew this must be it because the grey track bars were there right in front of me when I was doing the update and then they disappeared when the update was complete. However, since I thought maybe something was wrong in the system, went through the whole process of what datacommando was saying above. Sometimes, we are not crazy and L6 just dis something stupid. I know the track bars are not essential, but it was an environment I have been used to and I think this version looks really odd.

I have just got back into the studio and opened HX Edit, and you're correct -  the grey track bar are no longer visible in the editor. It doesn't in any way interfere with how it works, purely an aesthetic thing. Until you pointed it out I hadn't noticed, and I am possibly only interested in the numbers and the sound rather than have it look pretty.

 

There is no mention of any changes to the visuals in the Pilot's Guide for HX Edit  Rev.Q(v3.01,) and even though areas of the text may have been updated to reflect HX Edit and Firmware update procedures, the screen shots of the HX Edit GUI remain the older style with the grey track bar. Probably didn't think it was worthwhile, or possibly an oversight.

 

Ho hum, that's progress I suppose. Unless, of course, it is an actual "bug" in the editor. As you have submitted a ticket for this maybe you should flag it up in the bug report section of this forum and see if that goes anywhere.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Yeah, everything works okay and the grey track bar could be argued to be just a purely aesthetic thing, but I had grown used to it visually as a way to kind of let me know where I am with the parameters without always looking at the numbers. I use the numbers with certain things obviously like frequencies, etc. If I had to chose between the two, the older style was more to my liking and feels more like a DAW. But c'est la vie I suppose. I will get used to it. Just glad it was not something wrong with the software. We'll see what the ticket brings.

I also prefer the old look but definitely not one of those issues that I feel adamant about. Glad you opened a ticket though as it may indeed have been an unintentional change in the 3.11 firmware.
