Just did the 3.70 update, no problem - how do I reinstall the new presets though?

[FormerlyLite]

Thing is, I restored my own presets after updating, as usual. All fine.

 

But I wanted to check out some of the new factory presets after all, and when I went to restore factory presets (the usual way) it installed the 3.50 factory presets instead of the new ones. Not sure why.

 

Nothing life threatening, of course, but I would like to try out a few of those new patches, if possible.

When you did the restore, you should have 'unticked' the line with the Factory Presets.

As far as I know, the only way, would be to go back and reinstall the 3.70 update (via Line 6 Updater), do the usual factory reset and then restore from your backup with the 'Factory Presets' unticked.

 

FWIW. I'm in the 'if it ain't broken' camp, so I would be inclined to just leave it alone and get on with life. Sod's Law of averages says that this will be the occasion where the USB cable fails or the internet coughs or some other gremlin will happen that has you back here trying to fathom out why your Helix won't work.

Hi

Here is the Factory Setlist 1 and 2. Download is from my dropbox in one zip-file per factory setlist, the zip's contains the the individual presetes (not the setlist backup). You can drag and drop the presets you whant to test into your prefered location in HX Edit.

Hi,

 

You obviously still have all your own presets from before the update to v 3.70, but just to be safe make another backup, then simply perform a Factory Reset on your hardware. This will erase everything and when you restart your device all the user slots will be empty, except for Factory Presets 1 & 2. 
 

You can then use restore from backup to load in all your own stuff to the User slots and just leave the option for setlist 1 & 2 unchecked.

 

All this is fully documented in the Release Notes for Firmware 3.70.

1. -
2. -
3. Perform a factory reset. IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP FIRST, AS A FACTORY RESET WILL ERASE ALL YOUR WORK!
   • Helix Floor/LT: While holding footswitches 9 & 10 (bottom row, 2 middle switches), turn on Helix Floor/LT
   • Helix Rack: While holding knobs 5 & 6 (2 furthest right knobs below the screen), turn on Helix Rack
   • HX Effects: While holding footswitches 6 & TAP (2 farthest right switches on the bottom row), turn on HX Effects
   • HX Stomp: While holding footswitches 2 & 3, turn on HX Stomp
   • HX Stomp XL: While holding footswitches C & D, turn on HX Stomp
4. OPTIONAL: Performing a factory reset loads the new 3.70 Factory Presets, but restoring from your backup will overwrite these. Spend some time exploring these and export the factory presets you want to keep (or drag them to your desktop). If you have unused setlists in Helix Floor/Rack/LT, you can also export the entire FACTORY 1 bundle for loading into an unused setlist later.
5. From the top File menu, select Restore From Backup... If you don't have any important presets in Setlist 1, click the disclosure triangle next to Presets and uncheck the first setlist's box; this will retain 3.70's FACTORY 1 setlist. Select the backup file created in Step 1 and click Restore Backup.

Hope this helps(makes sense.
