  • @chickenchaser - that'll work as an external audio device, but it won't work as a low-latency interface. You'd need a proper interface for that.

    @digitalscream that'll do me. I'll have a play about with it. Thanks!


    Additionally, i've just started playing with my Helix, and so i'm in the very early stages of seeing how it works and what I can do with it. If someone could point me in the direction of where to get some tips and tricks on getting the most out of it without reading the whole thread, that would be much appreciated!

    Plenty out there but see if this helps. 


    I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.

    • 2.70 is a major update from a development standpoint, but on paper, it's minor
    • 2.70 has no new models
    • 2.70 has only two things, both of which may be controversial
    • 2.70 will not be ready this week. Next week hopefully
    • 2.70 is not particularly related to the other news that is still happening this week

    Red ones are better.

    Well, if you look at the HX Stomp videos, there's a totally different tuner in there.

    Given that they use the same framework for all units in the Helix family, it stands to reason that the rest of them will also get the updated tuner.

  • @neilg @rossyamaha thanks for the guidance, interesting to see some different approaches to building patches. I had initially just loaded up a patch with amp and pedals but it was good to learn how to use some of the post reverb ideas.

  • Also looking at the stomp’s manual tempo sync via midi is coming too. Unless it’s already arrived in a previous update and I missed it?

    Have you tried putting the tuner in a different signal path?

    Also, the tuner has a mute setting?

    Type B-Type A converter arrived today. Tried it with that USB sound card and it didnt work. The sound card doesnt receive any power from the port to power it up

  • Jumping into this in prep for buying the stomp probably but can helix do a decent transpose for drop tunings? What patch does this well?

    Hope I've posted this in the correct place!

    following the release of the helix stomp, I am considering either a stomp or just the fx unit. Primarily to get a 'Somewhere in time ' type sound, see link below 



    Would the stomp or the fx be the best option ?

    This would be going into a Boss Katana.

    cheers

    No is the short answer at the moment.  It has a pitch shifter block which is sort of just about ok-ish for single notes but truly awful with chords.  However the hints and rumours are that something vastly superior is in the works for a future release as Line 6 hired some pitch shifting gurus a while back.

    Line 6 have been on the Ball with their updates - would be surprised if they didn’t do this now the range has expanded so much
