The Presets panel
You'll nd the same commands for copying, pasting, renaming, importing, and export-
ing within the application's File & Edit menus. These commands are also accessible via
“Keyboard Shortcuts”.
TIP: Helix device presets, setlists and bundles can also be imported and utilized
within other Helix devices and the Helix Native plug-in! Please see “Preset Compat-
ibility” on page 4 for more info.
HX Device Owners: All functionality described in this chapter is the same for
use with all Helix and HX devices, unless otherwise noted. At this time, preset
and setlist les are not compatible between HX and Helix devices or Helix Native
plug-in - see “Preset Compatibility”.
Premium Marketplace Presets
If you've purchased and downloaded premium Helix or HX presets from the Market-
place, you must be Signed In to your Line 6 account within HX Edit and have your
computer Authorized to allow HX Edit to initially Import or Export these presets (as well
as for any setlists or bundles that include premium presets).*
*NOTE: Once you've initially imported your Marketplace assets to sync their li-
censes with your account, you don't need to have HX Edit actively Signed In to use
them - and it is not necessary to even be connected to the Internet once your com-
puter has been Authorized, except to Deauthorize the computer. Please see “Autho-
rize / Deauthorize Your Computer” on page 35.
Premium Marketplace presets are otherwise able to be utilized just like any other Helix
presets. When imported, these premium Marketplace presets are indicated by a guitar
pick “badge” to their right within the Presets panel.
Premium Marketplace presets are indicated with a golden guitar pick badge
Selecting & Loading Presets
It is important to note there is a dierence between the selected and loaded preset
within the Presets panel.
To Select a Preset - Click once on a preset location in the Presets panel and you'll
see it become highlighted in gray. This indicates the preset is selected, meaning
that a preset command (Copy, Paste, Import, etc.) will act upon this preset (even if
a dierent preset is the one currently loaded within the Signal Flow).
To Load a Preset - Double-click on any preset (or click once to select it and then
hit your Enter/Return key) and you'll see the preset with an amber colored highlight,
indicating it as the preset currently in use. If no other preset is currently selected
(highlighted in gray), menu commands will act upon this loaded preset, since it is
eectively also the selected preset.
TIP: Before editing a preset you may wish to rst copy it to another location in the
Presets panel, or export it to be sure you have an original version of the preset
before making changes.
