Helix 3.7: The Freeman Update

[the swede]

I have no idea what this could be

Me neither… damn it, this is a 3.7 thread about updates… and it isn’t amp, cab or effects related… I swear it’s something we know!!!! Think you fools!!!

Dear Line 6, can we have 2203, 2204, 800 that has the stock KERRANG please?

Ok, so I spent about an hour last night trying to dial in a tone with some of that Marshall “kerrang” and failed miserably. Anyone have any presets or tips they’d like to share?

Knob parameter mapping for play view mode for the HX Stomp

At this very moment, that's a feature I'd applaud more than pretty much anything else.
Ideally, the onboard knobs could work the same way MIDI CCs do, allowing you to tweak multiple parameters at once. Would just love that.

Something like the “wave” thing that Boss has?
Pedal wave or what it’s called. Can be a fun thing for the Stomp people, Wah and ramping parameters automatically…

No?

Nah… that’s not it

I hope: Marshall 800 so everyone shuts up already, less CPU for the Poly pitch stuff, awesome Poly synths, less CPU for the newer amps, profile player, but damn, I'm really pretty damn happy with the helix lately!

When they see it: "This is so stupid. What's DI smoking? Who would ever want this?"
Weeks later when they dig in and use it: "Holy hell, this could change everything."

Ah yes, one of them extra funky DI features.
Does it still needs a guitar to do things?

HX0 + HX interactive touchscreen projector that turns any surface into a pedal board?

 

[ragingplatypi]

They're not amp, cab, or effects-centric, no.

HX cup holder confirmed!

HX cup holder confirmed!

Cue fractal releasing a cupholder which also warms your drink. Neural DoucheSP will also bring one to market two years after the others but it won't have a bottom so any cup under a certain size will just fall through the hole. Neural defenders will call this a safety feature to make sure the unit never overheats.

Possibly something related to the routing chain or managing blocks.

The 800 in my NUX Amp Academy is compressing way too much.

The NUX Amp Academy uses their MG30 (newer and "better") modeling engine.. but supposedly the older MG300 was more pleasing to many folks allegedly. Long story short the models on mg300 are different from mg30/amp academy.

In fact I think I saw your name as a submitter of a similar idea from YEARS ago on ideascale

Oh internally automated expression ramping/expression assignment and LFOs would be awesome... A feature folks have apparently been asking for for ages.. I have a OBNE Expression Tamper in my cart right now.. but I am going to control myself for a year.

To my ears this gets me to the ballpark of having something like that: a rat with lower gain and filter quite open going into a Plexi Brt Trem with drive at around 20%ish.. low master volume.. EQ to taste.. And having an EQ right before the cabs to compensate for the low drive + master.. going into some Marshall classic greenbacks or similar cabs.. with an ambience in the end if on headphones...

Pulling all this from memory. So take it with a grain of salt

Ahhhw you crazy bastard you…

You finally installed the original Doom game into Helix Core!!!

It does things without a guitar, but it can do really cool things if you have a guitar.

You put a tiny John Mayer in the Helix?

You put a tiny John Mayer in the Helix?

When you hold down one of the footswitches, it plays the intro to “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room.”
