the controls you will use
the one thing
Learn three things: how to change what the footswitches do (press MODE—and hold it to see every mode, not just two), how to save (press Save twice), and how to reach more parameters than the knobs can show.

Every control on the Helix Stadium XL Floor, and what each press, hold and turn does.

touchscreen
The main interface, where you touch blocks directly instead of navigating to them.
- Tap a block
- Selects it. Its parameters appear in the Inspector below.
- Tap the selected block again
- Opens its actions: copy, paste, clear, Favorites.
- Drag a block
- Moves it along the path.
- Flick a block off the screen
- Clears it.
- Worth knowing
- Input and output blocks glow green with signal and bright red when they clip. There is no other level meter.
modes are the whole game
The footswitches do not have fixed jobs. What they do depends on the mode, and to change it you press MODE—and hold it to see every mode, not just two.
A Line 6 modeler that looks broken is usually in a mode you did not choose. Change the mode and it works again.
save, or lose it
Changes are not saved until you tell the device to save them—press Save twice. Until then, an “E” beside the preset name marks it as edited.
Change preset while that E is showing and your work is gone with no warning and no undo.
Save before you change preset. An unsaved edit is lost on the switch.
