Error message importing tone

[ovidionasone]

Hi, I tried importing a tone into HX Edit and got the attached error message. Never had this message before, I have an HX Stomp and the tone I tried importing is an HX Stomp tone. Suggestions appreciated thx

Where did you get it from? Maybe if you link to the tone, or attach it?

Seems like it’s not an HX stomp tone. It seems to requires more DSP than the Stomp is capable of. Do you know the origins of this preset?

Hi,

 

It seems to me that the wording in the error message may indicate that you are trying to import a setlist rather than an individual preset.
 

Check the file extension - 

Presets = .hlx

Set Lists = .hls

Bundles = .hlb 

Backup = .hxb

 

I don’t think that the code -8701 is one that I have seen before, but because it mentions, “Preset translation not supported, DSP block constraint exceeded”, I would guess that is an error generated by a preset that came from Helix Native, which uses Hardware Compatibility and stops presets from loading into hardware that has insufficient DSP.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.
