Saving & transferring a Stadium bundle with IRs

[jesuscares]

Can someone explain on Saving & transferring a Stadium bundle including the IRs to a different Stadium  ? I couldn’t find the save bundle icon on my Mac .

I'm not sure how tones are arranged on the Stadium.On the Edit app & the Stadium I see factory presets & then below that User presets & my transferred files from the old Helix below that.I tried deleting the entire User Presets folder but wasn't able to do so.Only Individual presets in the User folder are open for deleting.

I just tried transferring a .hsp & .hlx preset to Stadium & I seem to get error code 103 !Confused!

 

 Thanks

Startup the Stadium in  maintenance mode by holding down the Home and Song buttons while turning it on. With a properly formatted MicroSD card inserted select Create Backup. Eject the SD card, insert it in the other Stadium device. Again, start that one in Maintenance mode. Select Restore Backup. The backup includes everything the user can create or import: USER presets, Setlists, IRs, Favorites, Templates, Songs, and Clones. Currently there is no granularity to the Restore process. You can’t select portions/segments to reinstall (e.g. only IRs); it’s all or nothing.

 

Here’s a snippet from the Stadium manual:

Helix Stadium can load individual presets, entire setlists, favorites, and IR (.wav) files from Helix/HX. It cannot load an entire Helix/HX backup file.

Thanks.I did see it in the manual yesterday but it's quite a surprise that this same data cannot be saved on a computer & be retrieved ! I hope L6 makes a way for that.Thanks

Stadium can import individual IR wav files, but not the set of IRs contained in a Helix Bundle or Backup file.  Here’s a potential workaround for IRs: 

 

1) In Helix Edit go to the IR area. Select all IRs and export them all in a single operation to a specific folder on your computer.

2) In the Stadium app go to the empty IR library window.

3) In the IR computer folder Select All wav files. 
4) Drag/Drop the set of all selected individual wav files into the Stadium IR library in a single operation.

Thanks! But apart from Its can a Stadium Setlist (or entire User tones) be saved on  the computer & sent or transferred to a different Stadium Unit without having to use a Micro card?

Yes. You use the Stadium app running on your computer to export Setlists and USER presets to a folder on your computer. Then you swap devices and use the app again to import them to the other Stadium device.

Great ! That should work for me now even if there is no bundle swapper! Thanks

I’m not sure it’s relevant in your case but be aware that Stadium implements a different approach to presets and setlists. The USER preset area contains the only actual instance of a preset; a setlist contains ‘aliases’ to the presets, not a copy of the presets. The Setlist section of the manual is worth a read in the context of what you’re doing.
