Helix 3.50 Release Notes | 您所在的位置:网站首页 › line6helix中文说明书 › Helix 3.50 Release Notes |
Helix/HX 3.50 (released November 3, 2022) includes 24 new cabs running on an all new cab engine, 5 new amps, 7 new effects, new features, additional improvements, and bug fixes, and is strongly recommended for all users.
How do I update to 3.50? IMPORTANT! The 3.50 update process may take 30 MINUTES OR MORE TO COMPLETE. This is totally normal, as it includes significant improvements to Helix Core and thousands of IR files.
Updating Helix/HX Hardware With Helix/HX connected to your computer, launch HX Edit (3.01 or higher), and make sure you're signed in. HX Edit knows when a new update is available and will walk you through the entire update procedure for both hardware and software, including backing up everything to your computer. IMPORTANT! If you're running HX Edit 3.00 or older, download HX Edit 3.50 and repeat step 1. HX Edit 3.50 (macOS): https://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=11599 HX Edit 3.50 (Windows): https://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=11598 Helix Floor/Rack/LT only: Halfway through the update to 3.50, Helix's LCD reads "Boot Failure. Entered Update Mode!" THIS IS NORMAL. Breathe deep, everything is fine. You're almost there.![]() Updating Helix Native Before updating Helix Native, it is highly recommended that you export a preset/setlist bundle. Click the gear icon in the lower left, select the Presets/IRs tab, and then click Export Bundle. Some hardware compatibility modes (HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, HX Effects) do not have this feature as they have only one setlist. In these cases, at the top of the preset list, click the yellow EXPORT to export the setlist. Quit your DAW and download and install Helix Native 3.50: Helix Native 3.50 (macOS): https://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=11601 Helix Native 3.50 (Windows): https://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=11600 Open your DAW and open an instance of Helix Native. OPTIONAL: The only way to hear 3.50's new factory presets is to restore them. IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE YOU'VE EXPORTED A BUNDLE (OR ANY IMPORTANT SETLISTS) FIRST, AS RESTORING FACTORY SETLISTS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR WORK! Click the gear icon in the lower left, select the Presets/IRs tab, and then click Restore Factory Setlists. Click Yes.NOTE: Presets created in 3.50 are not compatible with earlier firmware versions.
I updated but why don't I see [Model X] in HX Edit? HX Edit can't magically pull new model names and graphics from your Helix/HX hardware; you must update HX Edit as well (which you would've done had you followed "How do I update to 3.50?" above).
My Helix/HX is at version X.XX. Can I go straight to 3.50? Yes, but note that if you're starting from 2.80 or lower, the update may appear to happen three times and will take notably longer than 30 minutes. This is normal.
All New Cab Engine/New Cabs in 3.50 Helix Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT, Helix Native, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL
Thousands of impulses were captured with Sound Design's all new IR capture system and consolidated into 20 guitar cabs and 4 bass cabs. As such, cab subcategories have been updated: Single—One new cab Dual—Two new cabs Legacy Single—One older Hybrid cab Legacy Dual—Two older Hybrid cabsAmp+Cab subcategories have been updated as well: Guitar—Guitar Amp+new cab Bass—Bass Amp+new cab Guitar+Legacy—Guitar Amp+older Hybrid cab Bass+Legacy—Bass Amp+older Hybrid cab
With Cab > Dual blocks, you can now also choose whether changing the first cab automatically recalls a matching cab for the second. From the Global Settings menu, select the Preferences page. Press PAGE> until you see Link Dual Cabs. When set to "On" (default), changing the first cab automatically loads a matching cab for the second. Choose this option if you want to emulate the sound of two different mics (or two of the same mic with different angles or positions) on the same cab. When set to "Off," both cabs are completely independent of one another. Alternatively, in HX Edit (and Helix Native), click the Link Dual Cabs icon. Off (left) and On (right):

Choose from Center ~ Cap Edge ~ Edge. Cap Edge may appear in a different location depending on the selected cab Distance—Sets the distance of the mic from the speaker cone. Choose from 1.00" to 12.00" in 1/4" increments Angle—Sets the angle of the mic. 0 degrees is pointing directly at the speaker, 45 degrees is pointing off-axis Low Cut—Applies a low cut (high pass) filter, letting you remove all audio below a certain frequency. May be useful in removing undesirable low end rumble High Cut—Applies a high cut (low pass) filter, letting you remove all audio above a certain frequency. May be useful in removing high end harshness Level—Sets the overall level of the cab Pan (Dual only)—Moves the signal left or right across the stereo sound field. For example, if you're running a stereo playback system with two or more speakers, panning the first cab to Left 100 and the second cab to Right 100 can make your tone sound notably wider. Press the knob to return to Center Delay (Dual only)—Although the new cabs in 3.50 perfectly line up with one another, there may be situations where you want to delay one side very slightly, to perhaps impart a bit of phase incoherence or at higher values, to increase the apparent stereo spread.

New Amps in 3.50 Helix Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT, Helix Native, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL
Amp/Preamp > MOO)))N T Nrm, based on* the normal channel of the Sunn Model T. "The Moon model is based on a 1974, silver knob Sunn Model T amplifier. This is the early version with the more traditional tone stack. Though it has been repaired over the years, the circuit has every component at stock value. This specific unit has been well used, well maintained, and regularly enveloped in fog. "This amp circuit can best be described as a Fender Tweed Bassman/Marshall JTM45 preamp mated with a very high volume, very flat, ultralinear power amp that uses 6550 tubes. The result of this configuration is a tone with a raw growl that really has a strong punch to the gut. In addition, this configuration takes pedals very well; adding a distortion or booster can turn the amp into a high gain, doom machine."
—Ben Adrian, Sound Design Manager
Amp/Preamp > MOO)))N T Brt, based on* the bright channel of the Sunn Model T
Amp/Preamp > MOO)))N T Jump, based on* the normal and bright channels jumped in the Sunn Model T
Amp/Preamp > PV VitriolCrunch, based on* the crunch channel of the Peavey Invective (Master boost off). Peavey designed this 6L6 tube-powered monster in collaboration with Misha Mansoor of Periphery, with the goal of offering no-compromise, high-gain performance and flexibility.
Amp/Preamp > PV Vitriol Lead, based on* the lead channel of the Peavey Invective (Master boost off)
New Effects in 3.50 Helix Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT, Helix Native, HX Effects, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL
Distortion > Pillars OD (Mono, Stereo), based on* the Earthquaker Devices Plumes distortion
Gain—Sets the amount of distortion Tone—Sets the overall tonal balance of the distortion Level—Sets the overall level of the block Mode—Chooses the type of clipping circuit—1 is LED, 2 is Clean Opamp, 3 is Asymmetrical
Distortion > Vital Dist (Mono, Stereo), based on* the Earthquaker Devices Life pedal (Amplitude side)
Gain—Sets the amount of distortion Filter—Applies a high cut (or low pass) filter to the signal, letting you remove treble frequencies. At 0.0, no filter is applied Level—Sets the overall level of the block Clipping—Chooses the type of clipping circuit—Opamp, Asymmetrical, or Symmetric[al] Octave—Blends in a signal one octave up. At 0.0, no octave signal is heard. Works best when playing single notes
Distortion > Vital Boost (Mono, Stereo), based on* the Earthquaker Devices Life pedal (Magnitude side)
Boost—Sets the output level of the boost circuit
Modulation > 4-Voice Chorus (Mono, Stereo), Line 6 Original
Rate—Adjusts the speed of the chorus’ low-frequency oscillator (LFO) from slow to fast Depth—Adjusts the amplitude of the modulation, from mild to deep Voices—Determines the number of voices in the chorus (2, 3, or 4) Low Cut—Applies a low cut (high pass) filter to the chorus, letting you remove the effected signal below a certain frequency HighShelf—Applies a high cut (low pass) filter to the fills, letting you remove the effected signal above a certain frequency Mix—Controls the wet/dry mix of the chorus. When set to 0%, no chorus is heard; when set to 100%, no dry signal is heard Level—Controls the overall output level of the block
Modulation > FlexoVibe (Mono, Stereo), Line 6 Original
Rate—Adjusts the speed of the chorus’ low-frequency oscillator (LFO) from slow to fast Intensity—Adjusts the amplitude of the modulation, from mild to deep Warp—Controls the shape of the LFO. At 0.0, the LFO waveform is a triangle; at +1.0 and -1.0, the waveforms exhibit more chaos, or "warping" Spread—Controls the phase offset between the two LFOs. At 0.0, no offset is heard; at 10.0, the two LFOs are separated by 180°. Generally sounds best somewhere in the middle Mix—Controls the wet/dry mix of the FlexoVibe effect. When set to 0%, no effect is heard; when set to 100%, no dry signal is heard Level—Controls the overall output level of the block
Reverb > Dynamic Ambience (Mono, Stereo), Line 6 Original ambience reverb. At less extreme settings can be used to "open up" the sound of your amp without applying a notable reverb effect. Also utilizes less DSP than other Dynamic reverbs.
Room Size—Sets the size of the hall (8, 10, or 12 meters) Predelay—Determines the amount of delay heard before the signal enters the hall. Can sometimes result in more definition between the dry and effected signals Damping—Determines the frequency above which the reverb will be absorbed. For example, if your hall is full of people wearing fake ocelot jumpsuits, more high frequencies would be absorbed than if the room were empty Diffusion—Sets the amount of smearing between discrete echoes, sometimes resulting in a softer effected signal Shape—Controls the blend of the Early and Late reflections. Turning the knob clockwise adds more Late reflections; turning the knob counterclockwise adds more Early reflections. Press the knob to reset to "Even" Mix—Controls the wet/dry mix of the reverb. When set to 0%, no reverb is heard; when set to 100%, no dry signal is heard Low Cut—Applies a low cut (or high pass) filter to the reverb, letting you remove the effected signal below a certain frequency High Cut—Applies a high cut (or low pass) filter to the reverb, letting you remove the effected signal above a certain frequency Level—Controls the overall output level of the block Trails—When on, reverb decay continues to ring out after the block is bypassed
Pitch/Synth > Boctaver (Mono, Stereo), based on* the BOSS® OC-2 Octaver
–1 Oct—Sets the level of the signal one octave down –2 Oct—Sets the level of the signal two octaves down Dry Level—Sets the level of the dry (unaffected) signal

New Features in 3.50 IR > Dual Block Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Effects, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL
3.50 renames the Impulse Response > Mono subcategory as "Single" and adds a new subcategory—Dual. The IR > Dual block can accommodate two 1024-point IRs, you can pan them independently, flip the polarity of either one, and even slightly delay one vs. the other to account for any phase inconsistencies between IR developers. IR Select A—Selects the IR file for the first (A) slot Low Cut A—Applies a low cut (high pass) filter to the IR, letting you remove the signal below a certain frequency High Cut A—Applies a high cut (low pass) filter to the decks, letting you remove the signal above a certain frequency Level A—Sets the level of the first (A) IR Pan A—Pans the IR left or right between stereo speakers. Press the knob to reset to Center Polarity A—Flips the polarity of the IR's waveform. If your IR block suddenly makes everything sound thin, try setting this to "Inverted" to see if it helps IR Select B—Selects the IR file for the second (B) slot Low Cut B—Applies a low cut (high pass) filter to the IR, letting you remove the signal below a certain frequency High Cut B—Applies a high cut (low pass) filter to the decks, letting you remove the signal above a certain frequency Level B—Sets the level of the second (B) IR Pan B—Pans the IR left or right between stereo speakers. Press the knob to reset to Center Polarity B—Flips the polarity of the IR's waveform. If your IR block suddenly makes everything sound thin, try setting this to "Inverted" to see if it helps [Both] Delay—Some IR files don't line up perfectly, especially when mixing and matching files from two different developers. This can result in phase incoherence or a thin, unfocused tone. Turning this knob clockwise delays the B side IR by a tiny bit; turning it counterclockwise delays the A side by a tiny bit. Press the knob to return Delay to "None" [Both] Mix—Controls the wet/dry mix of the IR block. For Cab IRs, you should leave this set to 100%, but when utilizing body resonance IRs for acoustic guitars, you may want to find the right blend between the IR and dry signal
New Cabs and IRs now use 66-80% Less DSP Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, Helix Native, HX Effects [IRs only], HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL
Due to further improvements to Helix Core, new Cabs and 1024-point IRs use roughly 66% less DSP as older Hybrid cabs and IRs in 3.15 and earlier versions. A new Cab > Dual block uses less DSP than a single Hybrid cab block and the new IR > Dual block uses less DSP than a single IR block in 3.15. 2048-point IRs use roughly 80% less DSP, although they still use a lot of memory, so they're still limited to one instance per path. NOTE: Older Hybrid cabs use the same amount of DSP as in earlier firmware.
Disable Snapshot Control over Parameter Assignments Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, HX Effects, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL Prior to 3.50, when assigning a parameter to a physical control (EXP 1, footswitch, etc.) or MIDI, Snapshots are also always assigned. In 3.50, they still are, but there's an additional "Snapshot Control" parameter on the Controller Assign page that lets you bypass this behavior. From the Controller Assign menu, select the desired parameter and turn Knob 2 (Controller) to select any value other than "None" or "Snapshots." A second page appears. Press PAGE> and turn Knob 1 (Snapshot Control) to "Off." It's set to "On" by default for all parameters.
Other Changes and Improvements in 3.50 Encoder ballistics have been drastically improved. For example, tonestack values can go from 0.0 to 10.0 with one turn Helix Floor/Rack/LT only—SHORTCUT: While the Model List is open, pressing [AMP] jumps to highlight the Amp category without having to scroll down to it Helix Floor/Rack/LT only—The Impulse Response category's name has been shortened to "IR" (now matches that of HX Stomp/XL) to accommodate a wider subcategory column in the model list as well as accommodate longer IR names in the inspector header
Bug Fixes in 3.50 Reverb > Shimmer's Pitch parameter was inconsistent between hardware and HX Edit—FIXED Reverb > Dynamic Room's Mot Rate value range was inconsistent between hardware and HX Edit—FIXED Delay > Stereo > ADT's Mod Rate value range was inconsistent between hardware and HX Edit—FIXED Delay > Tesselator and Ratchet's Operation is set to "Mute All," the signal would be muted even when bypassed—FIXED When Global Settings > Preferences > Snapshot Edits is set to "Discard," holding FS12 (SAVE+EXIT) while in Pedal Edit mode did not always save edited parameters when controlled by snapshots—FIXED After loading a preset containing a Command Center > Instant > Ext Amp command, EXP Pedal 1 could sometimes stop functioning properly—FIXED When a snapshot is reloaded, a duplicate MIDI PC message was not sent—FIXED When many Command Center commands are assigned, snapshot names could sometimes disappear—FIXED While in tuner view, attempting to restore globals could sometimes cause Helix to crash—FIXED When assigning block bypass to an expression pedal, Behavior > "Heel Down" or "Toe Down" could sometimes revert to "Toggle"—FIXED HX Stomp/HX Stomp XL only—Upon receiving MIDI CC73, changing views was not functioning as expected—FIXED HX Stomp/HX Stomp XL only—Overly long favorite names could result in graphical glitches—FIXED HX Stomp XL only—After changing presets using footswitches, capacitive sensing could become disabled until pressing a stomp switch—FIXED HX Stomp XL only—When a Command Center > Snapshot Up or Down command is assigned to Footswitch 7 or 8, an extra Snapshot Up/Down message could occur—FIXED HX Edit only—Copying and pasting an IR with more than 31 characters in the name would truncate the IR's name—FIXED HX Stomp w/ HX Edit only—After restoring from a 3.01 backup, if path B exists, blocks move 1 position to the right—FIXED Many other minor fixes and improvements
Known Issues in 3.50 In some cases, the Input block's Variax Tone Knob setting is not recalled across preset changes In some cases, sending MIDI CC49-59 (footswitch emulation control) to engage stomp switches assigned to snapshot commands can result in inconsistent behavior. Instead, send Helix CC69 messages (values 0-7) to recall snapshots In rare cases, attempting to fill all 128 user IR locations can result in a "Failed to get impulse names" -8207 error and the device will appear to be frozen on "Transferring data." In the meantime, load 127 or fewer IRs at a time If Global Settings > Footswitches > Stomp Select is set to "Press" or "Touch+Press," engaging multiple block bypasses assigned to the same switch (set to momentary) can sometimes appear to lag In the Command Center, any MIDI notes assigned to a footswitch can sometimes unexpectedly trigger upon snapshot changes Helix Floor/Rack/LT only—If Path 1 is routed to Path 2, engaging the Tuner while Tuner Trails is on can sometimes mute the processed audio signal Helix Floor/Rack only—While in 10 Stomp footswitch mode, the momentary state of FS1 or FS7 can sometimes become reversed HX Effects only—If HX Effects is receiving MIDI clock, loading a new preset can sometimes cause the TAP LED to flash at double the tempo (audio is not affected, however) HX Edit only—In specific cases, moving a Path 2 block across a Split or Merge block can sometimes cause the block's location in the hardware to become out of sync
