Helix Talk

[dronerstone]

Well, DI explicitely mentioned that this would not mean EOL for the old HX series - but they might as well just have to sell some old stock, you never know.

DI explicitly said this is not the case

Thanks, this is a relief.

Anyhow, Stadium looks mind-blowing.

Expand D10.... A VDI(variax) port that can also interface via toslink

I wonder how much that is...

$219.99

I think Line 6 just ended The Modeler Wars for good.

I don't know that they ended them, but almost everyone else is going to have to either ramp up quickly or go away.

You don't destroy a mega thread!

The XL is October and vanilla Stadium in December, at least I have 2 extra months to beg on the street corners!

December is plenty of time for me to be at the new job and make the order.

I'd bet Cliff already has something cooking. It will be interesting and much more than a re-packaging like another of the big 3, if I had to guess

Oh lordy that Matrix mixer looks

I actually don't know what to think about all the work that surely went into the multitrack audio playback and stem splitting.
I don't know any single person IRL that would use this. But otoh, it might start a new trend. And it might become the second coming for one-man-bands. DovyDas certainly approves.

I will be shocked if the next FAS unit is a huge departure to the current UI

Yupp looks like I'm gonna sell my QC this summer. lol

You better sell that POS now!!!

Honestly; this thing looks DEEP. It'll be interesting to see the kind of questions people are going to have once it's in hand.

Yeah, that's defenitely a great thing. You'll finally be able to comfortably use it as your IEM return it seems. That's actually a *very* handy thing.

 

[SillyOctpuss]

God dammit. I really don't need a Helix stadium and it's a complete 180 for me to go for something like that but so far the new features are really interesting.

I wonder how the UK price will differ from US.

 

[mavrick102000]

stadium all touch screeny...

 

[Sascha Franck]

Will the switches be closer to each other than on the old models? Given the size comparison, it actually looks like. Not sure about that being a great idea...

 

[Baba]

I mentioned the same thing above. Unforced error, IMO. But I don't *really* care that much about the strips, as I tend to just look at switch light color coding anyway.

Now that you say that, I go back and forth between my Stomp XL and Helix, and honestly, I don't know what the hell I look at, but probably mostly color, since the XL doesn't have strips, so, that may have just made my decision right there.

Guess I'll be asking my sweetwater rep to absorb that into the price

 

[Baba]

Here's the real question. Does that separate expression pedal have a switch?

The current Mission pedal's switch does not work with the Helix, only the Stomps.

 

[HotRats]

Haven't watched any video therefore I know nothing about this new product.

I have a question, though.

Is this an Helix 2, the products digital igloo said will never see the light, or something else?
