Hi Roger,
I certainly thought it was worth bringing this to peoples attention. You perhaps need to be aware of the following notes in the above when doing this:
Updating Helix/HX Hardware in the link above it says the following:
"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."
Then there is a nothing to see box indicating that you will get "Boot failure. entered update mode"
"HX Edit will display a message indicating the device must be reset. Click resume and wait for the second part of the update to complete."
My understanding is that they have made significant changes to the core engine, which makes it more efficient and uses less resources, they also say it can take 30 minutes or more to run.
It’s stated that the cabs use 66 to 80% percent less DSP resources, the dual cabs have parameters that you can change on both speakers independently by clicking each of them, so you can have different mic’s, position, distance and mic angle using one dual cab.
