Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

Not my area of expertise. You need a frogman for that

And all of a sudden, out of left field, a disturbingly focused and coherent answer.

Went to eat at 801 chophouse and was goofing around with the waitress and staff and she called me squirrelly.. lol

Guess we will see with stadium

Has Line 6 really promised anything with stadium? More so laying it all out and letting the consumer decide imo

Please make the stomp version to carry same touch screen as Stadium!

Would that be more like an FM3 size vs stomp size ?

Dude, at 8" the Helix Stadium's screen alone is about the same size as a HX Stomp

Not what I meant by “promises”. Tim’s “and ye shall know the truth” post seemed to be alluding to some major revelation concerning his character. But then he zigged randomly back to the Stadium (which says as much about his character as anything LOL.)

Shirley Line 6 has already thought how they’ll move the UI from an iPad Mini sized screen to an iPhone sized screen.

Yep Laxu did a mock up and it was pretty much and FM3 size

 

[Cactusprick]

no i did not mean to keep it same size as the current Helix Stomp.
Stadium is still too large for my preference.
How about calling the FM3 sized one "Studio" then?

Let’s stay on topic.

HX Turkey Sandwich, damn it!

I think shrinking the touchscreen size is actually ok. The Hotone Ampero 2 Stomp has a 4" touchscreen, while the Stage/II has a 5" model. The 4" works just fine, even though the 5" is a bit more comfy. Even the 3.5" touchscreen on my Luminite M1 is alright.

For the HX Turkey Sandwich, shrinking the 8" touchscreen -> 5-6" would be fine.

5" in a similar-sized chassis would likely mean no dedicated parameter knobs. You'd be using the touchscreen for everything or the whole tap parameter-turn encoder, tap parameter-turn encoder thing (which isn't as bad as it sounds). It certainly seems to work for products like Hotone Ampero II, Headrush Flex, and select Yamaha digital mixers; not sure if it'd work for us.

Maybe we should come up with a few designs and workshop 'em.
