Reverting back to a known version of the firmware that showed the Joystick worked predictably indicated to me that this was a bug, Initially my main concern was that there was nothing physically wrong with the hardware Joystick after having it repaired only recently. I then tried many other selections and presets, reboots, resets etc, with increasing frustration that if felt that if the joystick was not actually broken then my annoyance may do the job. Then, out of the blue, I clicked on a modulation block to swap it to a delay and got no response to the click. I have to admit it did seem very odd because I had been playing around with 2.81 for a couple of days and it seemed to be working without problems.

I will update to v2.81 and see how it performs. This is a valuable bit of information - thank you! If you're willing to re-update, maybe give this a try. It seems that v2.8x instructs that device to ignore any 'long' presses - and its idea of 'long' is still pretty short.īut, if you tap it in and release relatively quickly, I believe you'll find the control function will work predictably. Specifically, the push straight in to select. I was able to point someone else in the right direction with what I believe is the same behavior as you're seeing here - I believe that with the new options available for the joystick control, some internal parameters for the joystick controller functions have been adjusted.

I now have it working, as it should, in both modes and I don't think my "Press, Click to Select" technique has been modified in any way.Įxtra special thanks to MonkeyXT for the tip. My main worry was that it was a hardware failure again. Things had been working just fine for a couple of days then - Joystick encoder malfunction! I specify "BUG" because this phenomena sprang from nowhere. Simple reinstall of v2.81 seem to have squashed the "bug".

Makes preset creation very difficult using only the Helix hardware. While using the Joystick to select a block it would function normally in “jog mode”, but when you “press down to click select” It doesn’t always respond. This week I installed 2.81 and all was working fine until this emerged today.Īs the Line 6 service engineers gave me a 3 month warranty on the repair, I needed to verify that this was not a repeat of the hardware problem. It seems that this is down to something in the 2.80 and the 2.81 firmware and all the usual reset procedures didn’t resolve the buggy Joystick.ĭowngrade to earlier firmware fixes this. When it returned from repair I installed v2.80 with no problems. The reason for my worry was that prior to v2.80, I had sent off my Helix for a repair to the Joystick which had a solder connection that had come adrift.

I encountered this issue this afternoon and I have now reverted to v2.71 and everything works as it should. Just when you think that everything is going perfectly. BUG - Another one for the intermittent Joystick function fault pile.
