How can I use a remote control to reset the recording to the beginning? I can't find a command for that...

If it's a custom field, you can turn on the Multi-Line setting for that custom field. Then the text will wrap and you can set the text-size by pinch-zooming the field while editing the layout.

Both devices need to implement Bluetooth over MIDI for this to work. BandHelper already supports that, so if the Helix also supports it then it will work.

Repertoire Help / Word wrap in layout fields?

Last post by thoseguys - November 25, 2025, 08:21:20 AM

Hi again Arlo,

Apologies if this has been asked already but I couldn't find results for it when I searched. Is it possible, or are there any plans to allow word wrapping for layout fields? Currently changing the size of a layout field automatically scales the text size and truncates anything that won't fit. I'm wondering if there would be a possibility of setting a fixed text size and allowing word wrap so that longer text can fit.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I use BandHelper with my Line6 Helix LT and a Yamaha bluetooth to midi adapter and it works great.

I just got the new Line6 Helix Stadium, which has Bluetooth built in. I'm not sure if the Bluetooth capabilities are limited to streaming audio or not, but wondered if a future BandHelper feature could be to connect to such devices directly over bluetooth and removing the need for the midi adapter.

Thoughts?

Repertoire Help / Re: Automation Track don't run

While resetting the local data typically doesn't hurt anything, this is a unique situation and I wouldn't recommend the same solution to others without investigating first.

Arlo has fixed it.

For everyone who has the same problem, here is the simple solution:

Go to Settings --> Account sync --> Reset Locale Data

That's it!

If a set list for the band is created in something like Excel, can it be imported into BandHelper?

I don't know what your Excel file looks like, but you could rearrange it to match BandHelper's import format and then import it to add those songs to your account:

After importing, you would create set lists within BandHelper. In other words, importing is meant for populating your account, not for doing ongoing work in another app and then copying your work into BandHelper.

I would also want to use this app to change programs on a keyboard through MIDI based on each song in the set list.

You can also set up MIDI presets in an Excel file and import that data:

You would need to do that before importing songs if you want to automatically link the songs to the MIDI presets. See also:
