Helix Cab Upgrade
This tool can be used to upgrade the legacy cab blocks in Helix patches that were built before Firmware 3.50 to the new Helix cabs!
Important! This tool is a personal project in very early development. Please make sure you have a backup of your patches before using it.
It supports patches containing:
- Multiple Single, Dual and Amp&Cab legacy blocks
- Blocks on different DSPs
- Blocks on split paths
- Cab parameters controlled by Snapshots
Guide:Export your helix preset from HX Edit and use the Choose File button at the bottom of the page to choose your .hlx file then press Submit.
Your updated preset will be downloaded. Finally, import the updated preset into HX Edit.
Info
Some cabs were removed in 3.50. If your preset uses a cab which is not in the new Helix firmware, you need to choose a new cab to migrate to.
Please choose a Primary/Secondary target cab override using the drop downs to migrate to a new cab model.
The selected override cabs will be used if there is no corresponding new cab, or if Force Override is ticked.
If there is a matching new cab, and Force Override is not ticked, your cab will be updated to the matching new model.
If you don't choose an override cab, you may see an error attempting to map the cab if there is no corresponding new model.
You can force your legacy cab to migrate to a completely different new cab model by ticking the 'Force override' checkbox.
