Can I create a shortlist of presets on the HX One?

[ScalenSwish]

Merry Christmas everybody!

Santa brought me an HX One for Christmas, to fill the rare need I have for modulation. I haven’t used Line6 since the original Flextone amps, so I am just catching up after years of pedals and amps.

I have identified 14 presets that I’d like to tweak and be able to access quickly, without having to scroll through the huge list of presets that come with it out of the box.

What would a good approach be to this?

Thank you, in advance, for any advice you may have.

Cheers!

Try using the editor/librarian for HX One called HX Edit. You can export and import presets between the HX One and your computer. You can choose the import destination (preset location). This will allow you to export your target presets to a folder on your computer and then import them to whatever location you want. Of course this will overwrite any presets currently in those locations so you might want to back everything up first.

 

Check the manuals for both HX One and HX Edit for details. You’ll find them in the Support area of this website (see top of this page) in the Manuals section.

Hi,

 

The best approach is to grab a pdf copy of the HX One Owner’s Manual here: 

 

https://line6.com/data/6/0a002026003567648f05c4097/application/pdf/HX One Owner's Manual - English .pdf

 

on page 4 there is a paragraph entitled “Manage, Backup, & Restore HX One”.

 

You will also need the “HX One Librarian app”, which you can find here:

 

https://line6.com/software/

 

Under the “Choose Software” drop down, select “HX One Librarian”, then from “Choose OS” select the operating system your computer uses. Click the “Go” button, on the next page you can download the required software to help you manage your presets over USB.

Have fun!

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Thanks for the correction. The HX One librarian is indeed NOT HX Edit as I had stated. Apologies for any confusion.

Hi,

 

No problem. Thinking that HX Edit was a "one for all" HX editing solution, is just one of those things that could easily have confused many of us regulars. I have to admit that I also initially thought that HX Edit would be needed, but I had only recently had a quick glance at the manual, while looking up something else, and spotted that the HX One had its own librarian/editor.

 

At least advising a new user to RTM is aways a good idea, even if they think they don't really need to check it out.

The librarian is fine but it’s really basic, can’t even rename stuff. For what I think you’re asking here, there’s a setting in the unit that allows u to scroll between all (0-127) or reduce it to whatever u want. So say u have 14 presets, maybe place them in first 14 slots and reduce the scroll list to 1-14 in the settings.

Hi.

 

Hmm… that’s not quite correct.
 

If you care to check the HX One Owner’s Manual you will find on the Contents List for page 11 there is a section headed - Saving/Naming a Preset. On page 11 there are 5 bullet points that take you through the procedure of naming and saving a preset. Click the link below.

Here’s a video of a guy showing how to rename a preset on the HX One.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

 

Happy New Year
