To Export a Setlist - Select the Export Setlist command to display the Save As
dialog. By default, setlists are saved to:
• Mac - /Documents/Line 6/Tones/Helix/Setlists folder
• PC - \My Documents\Line 6\Tones\Helix\Setlists folder
Changing Setlists
To change the active setlist shown in the Presets panel, click on the Setlist menu and
choose from among your device's setlists. The currently-selected setlist will be indi-
cated with an “open folder” icon in this menu.
Renaming Setlists
To rename the current setlist, right-click on the setlist name within the Setlist
menu and type in your desired title.
HX Device Owners: The single Setlist on your HX Stomp/Eects displays no
name on the hardware or within HX Edit. However, you can edit the Setlist's le
name when Exporting the le to your computer.
Importing and Exporting Bundles
A Bundle le (.hlb) includes all 8 setlists' contents of your Helix device, including all their
presets and saved settings, wrapped up in a tidy package.* This makes it easy to export
to create and store a backup of your Helix device's complete Preset library - and easily
restore your device's Presets library to your device (or to the Helix Native plug-in) by
importing the bundle.
NOTE: Bundle les do not contain any of the Helix device's Global Settings or Im-
pulse Response (IR) les. To include all these Helix items, use the Create & Restore
Backups feature - see page 16.
*HX Device Owners: HX Stomp/Eects devices do not support Bundle les,
therefore, you will see no available Bundle options.
The Import Bundle and Export Bundle options are found in the application's Prefer-
ences > General window (see “The Preferences Window” on page 32).
Bundle options within the Preferences window (for Helix devices)
To Import a Bundle - Click the Import Bundle button and you'll be prompted
to replace all setlists and presets within your Preset library. Continue through the
“Open” window to select the bundle you wish to import. Note that you can option-
ally import any bundle that was exported from the Helix Native plug-in or any Helix
device.
To Export a Bundle - Click the Export Bundle button to create a copy of all pre-
sets and their last-saved settings that exist in all setlists as a Helix bundle (.hlb) le.
By default, all .hlb les are saved to:
• Mac - /Documents/Line 6/Tones/Helix/Bundles folder
• PC - \My Documents\Line 6\Tones\Helix\Bundles folder
NOTE: On the next power up of your device after importing multiple presets, or
importing any setlist or bundle, you may see your device perform an additional
“Rebuilding Presets” process during boot up. This process is normal and optimizes
preset loading times on the hardware.
TIP: Wanting to restore the Factory Presets & settings for your device? You can do
so by performing a Factory Restore - please see your Helix or HX device's Owner's
Manual for details (and remember to use HX Edit to rst do a backup of your cur-
rent presets!)
TIP: Visit the line6.com/customtone site to share your tones and download from
the huge online library of artist and user presets!
