Is there a Mac/PC editor? The same HX Edit application works with Helix, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, and HX Effects, but when HX Effects is connected, it appears as just a

That it's a plug in for a DAW, but if you have a track recorded, you can use Native to change settings and re-amp, is it possible to then export the settings from Native to HX Edit/ Helix? Probably not, just not something I'd ever considered. Currently at work or I'd give it a go. Hi, Tuner in the editor? Good grief! You must have been reading all those old posts from @spikey, before he jumped ship and bought a Quad Cortex! Hmm… well that was a good idea - he is now still waiting for a desktop editor for that device! As for Native… we’ll that is the software version of your real world HX unit. It uses your computer do exactly what goes on inside the hardware. You can edit, chop, change and modify presets to your hearts content, but in order to get them into your hardware unit, you have to export the preset, setlist or bundle and load them into HX Edit to transfer them to your real world box of tricks. You can even drag and drop a preset between Native and HX Edit, but it is not possible to make changes to a preset loaded into Helix Native and have those changes reflected on the hardware in real time, even while connected by USB. Hope this helps/makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites Share I was always on board with the tuner in the editor! Been lurking a long time, but Enforce the rules such as how much DSP has been employed and what blocks are still available for use based on the DSP left on a given signal chain. This ensures that you can never build a preset in HX Edit that would not work in the Helix which is a VERY good design and ensures there's a single source of logic to managing preset building. In order to provide offline editing you would have to incorporate all of that logic into HX Edit and I doubt seriously that Line 6 would be willing to do such a thing. The fact is, anyone with some knowledge JSON and patience could build an offline editor, but there would be a very good chance it would build presets that would be seen as corrupt or un-importable into an actual Helix since it's not likely to know all the rules and limitations that need to be applied when building a preset. Link to comment Share on other sites Share As has been mentioned already Native IS the offline editor for HX devices. If you really want that functionality just pony up the bucks for Native and get a whole lot of other use out of it as well. You just have to import or drag & drop the Native presets into your HX device rather than run a synch operation. Not to say I wouldn't use an offline HX Edit, I would, but I agree with Silverhead. I don't want to have to

Can the HX EDITOR be downloaded to an epad or iPhone IOS

Other sites Author Share Every time I try to install HX Edit 2.51, I get a message: "error opening file for writing, click abort to stop installation." I even deleted the Line 6 installer and the 2.50 firmware (which I had installed before the editor) and I'm still getting that same message. And yes, I selected the correct version of Windows.???

Now that you have HX Edit 2.51 installed Open up the "Line6 Updater". Do not attempt to click directly on the firmware file. Forget that firmware file, you are not going to use it unless you have a terrible internet connection. The Updater will walk you through the rest of the upgrade process and grab the correct firmware file for you. Just point and click. Btw, make sure you don't have the Line6 Updater and the Editor up on your computer at the same time. Hopefully it will be seamless as long as you are not experiencing a poor internet connection. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites Author Share Great, you are halfway home.. Is there a Mac/PC editor?

There is also a much older program simply named Helix that is an early version of the Helix editor. Make sure you are downloading the HX Edit program - not the Helix program.

Sofa while my helix is still in the studio. Unfortunately all the intelligence for determining whether the change you're making to the preset is valid is in the Helix itself, not in HXEdit. This is why an idea promoted back in 2019 never gained any traction and never will under the current architecture of the Helix.

As noted by @DunedinDragon in the post above, this ain’t gonna happen anytime soon, so don’t hold your breath. It works in real time. The other thing that keeps cropping up, that also isn’t going to happen, is a version of the editor that runs on mobile devices - tablets, phones etc. HX Edit is quite simply not designed that way, it’s a remote editor that saves you from having to crawl around on the floor twisting encoders, and pushing buttons. It’s an umbilical cord and it requires the hardware to be connected. Hope this helps/makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites Share I'd love HX Edit to also show the tuner, but that also isn't going to happen! One thought is whether you can use HX native in this fashion - I appreciate that it's a plug in for a DAW, but if you have a track recorded, you can use Worry about synch issues. Several firmware release have had bugs in the editor operation, known or otherwise. I could see an offline HX Edit actually substantially slowing down firmware releases due to the much more rigorous QA process and error-handling that would be required for bullet-proofing the synching of firmware and hardware to an offline editor. Not to speak of all the users new to their device who would complain that a bunch of their presets got mysteriously modified when they started up HX Edit, unaware that it was due to changes they made while they were offline. Line6 could provide a screen as a lot of mixers do to mitigate this to some extent by prompting the user with "Synch editor to device" or "Synch device to editor" but this also has inherent risks including the ones detailed above. Now, unlikely but watch L6 prove me wrong and add offline functionality to the next release :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites Author Share My use of the HD edit offline was not to tweak patches, but to look at the settings I had for certain patches so I could mimic those on another patch... Yes, I know about starting with the other patch and doing the save as thing... however, I may only want to tweak one thing.... so instead of writing down the settings (which I have done alot), I would start HD edit offline, load in my latest patches from the computer (where I

Recommended Posts Share Just keep getting a message that Windows can't open this file. This never happened with previous updates. I'm running Windows 7. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites Share Did you download the macOS version by mistake? You can also just open the Line 6 Updater application and let it pull down the firmware for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites Share Did you download the macOS version by mistake?

Don't try to open the firmware file directly and of course you want to have the proper one for your OS. But really, don't even bother downloading the Updater and firmware separately. Make backups with your current editor and download the correct version of HX Edit 2.51 for your OS and device. Unpack/install HX Edit 2.51 and it will automatically install the latest editor, Updater, and driver(if on Windows) on your computer. Then run the Line6 Updater and it will guide you through pulling down the correct firmware file and automatically install it for you and run through the upgrade process. One of the only reasons to ever download the firmware file separately is if you have a spotty internet connection that cannot be depended on to be persistent through the download portion of the Line6 Updater process. The Updater does provide an optional manual process for installing the firmware from your local hard drive but you never want to use that option unless you are forced to. The only other reasons to download a firmware(Flash) file are if you would like to keep the firmware file for posterity or a rollback if required(highly unlikely). Quote Link to comment Share on

Using the HX Stomp with the HX Effects - YouTube

Recommended Posts Share I was trying (yes, at work :) to look at a patch someone posted using the HX Edit.... it looks like it will not work unless a device is connected. Is that correct? I hope not..... It was nice to load patches with HDEdit without the HD500x connected. It was a great way to compare patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites Share Yes Helix has to be on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites Share Because you can tweak patches "without" the editor in Helix, the editor needs to see Helix so it can load in the latest information. You can't really "hear" what you have tweaked in the editor without Helix producing the sound. It's like wanting to run your motor without the rest of the car, without both what's the point?

I don't get it either. Yes, the old HD Edit would run in "off-line mode", but to what end? You can't hear anything without the hardware, so what are you accomplishing?

Probably not, just not something I'd ever considered. Currently at work or I'd give it a go. Helix presets are fully compatible between Helix Native and HX Edit/Helix devices. You can export any Helix Native preset to a file on your computer and then drag/drop it into HX Edit. You can easily transfer your studio sound to the stage. You can even use Helix Native's Hardware Compatibility mode to transfer presets among different Helix device (e.g. HX Stomp to Helix Floor).
