The interest for me comes from whether they include all the good bits from the DD500, MD500, and RV500 in there.
It has bluetooth app control for on the fly editing like the H9 and functions as an audio interface, has parallel fx routing etc
This is going to depend on price point... if this is cheaper than Helix FX, they will sell a boat load.
Looks quite a clean and useful design to me. Nice big patch number and colour strips are pretty useful. Especially since the colour strips are above the switch, which I think is preferable to a light up switch myself, I think it’s clearer in a hurry.
When you’re playing all you need to know is you’re on the right sound.
Also, that means a lot's going to ride on whether they've got seamless patch switching and spillover. It's OK to have that stuff missing when it's the first product in a given price range, but when there are already three or four heavily-marketed and mature products which have solved that problem, folk won't be particularly forgiving about missing features like that.
£761 and expected mid Feb in the US
Usually, seamless switching is a function of processing power and can only be partially mitigated by software.
The switching flexibility...there just aren't enough switches - with the bank switches being fixed-function, and needing to stay that way so that you don't have to start switching modes in the middle of a song, I can't see how they'd be able to manage it in an ergonomic manner.
Just noticed - the way they shaved the height is by using an external power supply. Not a fan of that approach at all.
Exactly, can't call it a pro piece of kit with a nasty external power supply.
