Helix Stadium wishlist

[Gary_W]

Yes. If you load two or more audio files to a song, it just adds those files as separate tracks. If you load a single audio file to a song, however, the Stadium editor gives you three options:

• Split Stems—Splits a stereo file into the following tracks/stems: Drums, Bass, Guitar, Vocals, and Other
• Tempo/Time Signature Analysis—Generates a tempo/time signature map using Time flags
• Song Section Analysis—Generates Marker flags at obvious song section changes (Verse, Chorus, etc.)

Stem splitting and analysis takes place on Yamaha's servers using their Music Connect service. As with all of these types of services, some tweaking may be required.

If you prefer a different stem-splitting service (say, one that can separate lead guitar from rhythm guitar or lead vocals from background vocals, which Music Connect does not currently do), you can also use Logic, Moises, iZotope RX11, LANDR, Lalal.ai, Fadr, etc. and drag the resultant stems to a new song (up to 8 stereo).

Fantastic thank you - I paid for mine yesterday so all I have to do now is wait and hope the ship experiences pleasant seas on the way….. Are we still going to be treated to more teaser videos in the next few weeks until they turn up? I hope so as I’ve enjoyed the build up so far.

Steve Sterlacci is walking the same tightrope.

Helix can already switch amp channels etc. I use it with my Mark III, Budda, and Recto all the time. Were you having trouble there?

I’m totally with you on the others. I’ve had BIG noise issues mixing HXFX and Helix fx loops with basically any high gain scenario and I don’t even use a ton of gain. I’m frankly not sure if that’s been addressed, but it severely limits where and how I can use Helix, which is in part why both my hardware devices have been sitting in boxes for months.

Day one with Stadium XL I will be introducing its loops to my amps. If there are noise issues, it goes back immediately and I move on. At $2k+ those just aren’t issues I’m willing to tolerate.

I agree if any noise at that price it’s unacceptable

I’m willing to accept some noise, as it’s hard not to raise your noise floor with digital loops and high gain tube gear. I’ve run into full on white noise as loud as my guitar signal in some configurations or with certain dirt pedals. I’d love for that behavior to improve.

You all are just adding to Tim's reasons to return

It's already an extensive list as is

My asks: an updated BOSS Dimension C stereo chorus (from the current one in the Helix Legacy section), and a Mimiq-like doubler stereo effect (like the KMA Geminus!)

I like doublers and dimensional effects to fatten up a tone. Add this old Sony boombox and there’s a switch on it and it just makes the stereo dimension like huge. I keep it on all the time I mean the switch on so I like that on the boombox so it’s a good idea to put it on tones in the modelers.
