Helix 3.2 when?

84% woo-hoo

Okay - I think I get that. But what is the scenario you guys are wanting to use this in? I‘m probably just being slow today, but I can’t think of when I would want to use that…. Care to share an example? Or @HotRats ?

Read the back and forth between HotRats and me on this page:

Helix 3.2 when?

It would seem this is the most hyped up Firmware update ever, by any company this means really high expectations, which usually means that when it is released it may disappoint, hoping im wrong :bag I really don't know what to expect from this update at this point. The only thing I know is...

The new cabs.

Also Dual IR in a single block with proper mixing controls, FINALLY.

 

[HotRats]

Explain what this does in practical terms…

Me to… like I am a five year old.

Footswitch assigned parameters were always tied to snapshots, now you can 'kick in' a parameter and jump between snapshots without it changing.

Something that @HotRats has been requesting for TWO YEARS.

Think this is what Ill do
ill save / export all my personal presets to a folder on me desktop
and do a fresh/clean install my Helix is quite messy so this is great start from scratch

OPTIONAL: Performing a factory reset loads the new 3.50 Factory Presets, but restoring from your backup will overwrite these.
So no restore from Back up

I'm excited about this. Sometimes I have to turn encoders a ridiculously long time to get to the value I want.

Or, before restoring export the 3.5 factory presets to you computer, restore from the backup, then re-import the 3.5 factory presets over the restored ones.

You can restore individual preset banks, no need to overwrite the new 3.5 Factory banks after update, just restore only the User banks.

The reducing of dsp in the cab block may help to use certain combinations of blocks that was not possible before. I need to test it, but I can say that I’m always riding on the dsp with my use of several reverbs and delay. This is mostly because I’m almost always using a A+C block. The new cab will help me squeeze more into a preset.

man i just gotta say i am again impressed with how Line 6 actually listens to what people want and then gives it to us. i think we all were saying the cab sims could be better and different mic positions would be nice and then bam... there you go and its free by the way you dont have to buy a whole new piece of gear like with fractal. i think this is one of the best parts of having a helix, the updates have been so good and each time have been exactly what the users were asking for.

Not to turn this into a fractal v line 6 but the insane amount of updates that have come to fractal units, specifically the Axe Fx 3 is wild and all have been free. Both the frequency and content

Lets just be happy with this major update and not ruin it by comparing to other gear
