I'm sorry Les what is the problem exactly? Are you using a director? I've been spending a lot of time with the ultra the last couple months and didn't run into problems. I use 4.65a and there is no 465b

I don't have the gear yet, I am using Demo mode to learn the software. If you look at that pic I posted, there are arrows pointing to 4 channels. I cannot keep them changed to anything else. I change them, save, close and reopen, and they revert back to how they are in that pic.
You won't have any problems after you are connected to the dsp. At least those issues cleared up for me. There is no 465b
Does anybody know anything about the augmented bass enhancement? I've heard people say good things about it but for me when I turn it on the low end even vocals sound kinda like a deep robot
I think thats a known bug with that version software. I think(?) theres a 4.65b version available

Yeah I downloaded the 4.65 beta version and it won’t get out of demo mode - I had to go back to 4.50 version to tune the car...

Been a while since I did a software update not sure if I did it right....

So I installed 4.52, does not have that issue but does not have the Ultra either. I am working around that by using the BRAX Demo. I did send some into to AF
What you should do is create a demo template set the things that won't save when you tried it on ultra on mk2 demo. save it open 465a and choose ultra demo go to load button and open that file up that you made for the mk2
I just tried that for you and it worked fine. When are you getting the ultra?
It is like a night and day difference than the previous ones especially if you have the director remote installed with tone control on. Also the Bluetooth hec is great also. CD 441k through Bluetooth

Sometime this summer. I'm doing the Suspension on the car now. Then interior restoration, sound deadening, carpet dyeing, then Audio. So I am investigating. Settled on the Ultra though. Definitely with BT and the Director.

Thanx! Hopefully that works and I can get to more play time.
On another note. How do you delete old setup files? These files are in the root of my C drive. You cannot see them at all, they are hidden from everything but possibly an aftermarket file manager.

That didn't work for me. Keeps setting those channels back to defaults
So weird man, I also tried the helix ultra demo and everything saved fine. Maybe you should just try uninstalling 4.65 and reinstalling it with all the drivers

Yeah I did that last night. It's just those channel names. It doesn't affect anything done in the crossovers or anywhere else I can find. I can do anything in DSP Pro MK II and not have an issue either. It's just when I do the Ultra and those channels. But I am getting ready to do a 12 channel system and want to practice it, hence the Ultra
So I just loaded 4.65a and setup as Brax and I can do everything and it saves fine. I think that will approximate an Ultra sort of for me

Ultra may vary from Brax setups in the sense that you can use the virtual channel architecture.

Yeah I don't see that in the Brax section.
I'll go back to the Ultra section to look that over. Definitely a learning curve there.
