Helix 3.2 when?

[Stone]

Pretty Much

 

[Fireproof]

Nice forum! Like walking into the wrong house but still seeing a bunch of familiar faces.

I am sticking to my September 28th prediction for 3.2 to drop.

It’s like walking into a big party you heard about and then being surprised by how many people you know!

Just about the time I get back from vacation, so I can live with that

Does it do this from both the hardware and HX Edit?

Yes

What about exporting and re-importing the preset - does that exhibit the same behaviour?

I don't think I've tried that yet -- I've been bogged down with learning songs. Took off my nerd hat and put on my musician hat these past few months. I try my best not to replicate the issue and get back to work. The issue has been submitted so hopefully it gets a fix.

 

[pablo retamal]

thanks for the invitation!!!, what a great initiative!... nice to read you again james! (we suspected you were present, but I couldn't have guessed about your alias)

Someone sent me a CV/resume to review. The person whose CV it was also did some research. One of the key lines in the paper that made me think of Helix and this community in specific:

The research found that fader-only designs were preferable to dial-only designs

There you go knob lovers!!! You're wrong!!!

I have a mini poll with a single option.

1. If you want this mind numbingly idiotic knob vs slider joke to die already and never be mentioned on TGF again, please upvote this post with a shit emoji.

Stop looking at me, I'm not the one who brought it here.

I get my fix in that other place.

Hi all !

This might be *old news* but I just saw this posted by phil_m over at TGP in a FM9/QC/Stomp XL Comparison Thread => 3.2 *may be* only a few weeks away

In case the link doesn't work, he simply wrote in response to the TGP Thread Posters "review" that ..... " If you can hold onto the XL for a few more weeks, you will need to redo your comparison… "

Fingers crossed it keeps looking good and tracking well :)

All the best,
Ben

Which should apply to all the Helix units (maybe not Pod Go) which makes one happy to keep holding on to precious little Stomp.

 

[James Freeman]

Quoting the op form tgp:

maybe I should just go back to my Stomp XL. It really does all I "need" while sounding good, but it doesn't have the same feel as its Fractal and Neural counterparts. The question is....how much is that feel worth?

Looks like the only problem the op has with the Stomp XL is "feel"?

To which Phil replies:

If you can hold onto the XL for a few more weeks, you will need to redo your comparison…

It reads like Phil is implying that FEEL will be improved in 3.2 aside from the new Cabs?
Very interesting!

Also, "few more weeks" can be any amount of 2+ weeks, how do you define 'few'?
Does that mean it's in public beta already? Nice!

PS.
Does this really deserve a separate thread?
I think it can be merged with the main 3.2 thread?

PPS.
Why is Phil not here yet?

 

[dronerstone]

It's not improbable Beta testing is already going on. As a non-native speaker, what would "a few weeks" imply, 2 weeks? 6 weeks?

Anyhow, I suspect 3.2 might drop sooner than some expect. Even if it does not until November/December, color me happy when it finally rolls out.

The Helix/HX units already sound stellar and are truly feature-packed, so any addition is a welcome bonus treat! :)

EDIT, Google says: "Literally it means 2 weeks. In popular usage, it means a period around two weeks, say two to three or even four weeks."

 

[sleewell]

Soon

 

[Rewolf]

I am pretty sure that phil_m is an alpha tester or pre-view beta tester.

He frequently posts about stuff that others on the wider public beta programs don't know about (eh @BenIfin ? )

Wouldn't he be removed from the program as soon as NDA is broken?

Not if the "accidental" reveals are approved in advance by Line 6.... you know how DI likes playing games with us

Phil is often very active immediately after a Line 6 release explaining the new features and answering a lot of questions. He isn't a Line 6 employee, but he definitely has had preview versions of new hardware.

The beta program that many of us might or might not have signed up for is more of a wider public shakedown, phil has on more than one occasion indicated he has had conversations with L6 about features before they were fixed.
