Line 6 Helix Stadium Pre-Launch Discussion

Digital Igloo said:
The CDC has a program called the Dog Aging Project. In exchange for answering behavioral questions every year, they give you a free DNA test. Bill&Ted's a rescue mutt from the pound, but we found out he's:
  • 29% Chihuahua
  • 22.1% Unknown
  • 12.9% Pug
  • 10.3% Toy Poodle
  • 7.7% Pomeranian
  • 4.5% Dachshund
  • 4.3% Jack Russel Terrier
  • 3.4% Pekingese
  • 3.1% Yorkshire Terrier
  • 2.9% Miniature Pinscher

Not at launch and likely never all 8 tracks, as that would eat up at least half our coprocessor.

He looks like a very good boy ! :)

Thanks for the reply :)

For practice purposes, being able to slow down a single stereo track would be more than enough if possible at some point. Here’s hoping - I’m over the moon with the stem splitting stuff anyway but this would be a nice addition if it ever happens.

A small subset has been asking for more advanced controls for some time. I'm not saying it'll never happen, but maybe that's a bit visually messy and unwieldy for what they're trying to do with Stadium.

I can see them opening up more, tho:
  • Selectable bright caps (on/off) on every Agoura amp.
  • "Boost" parameter that either adds a carefully chosen pedal or tube/gain stages (up to two additional ones)
  • Power amp tube selector
Probably would address 80-90 percent of what people want to tweak with just those three.

Bright Cap -yes.

Boost, I just want more boosts in the pedal section.

Power tubes really don't do anything - it's more like 6V6 vs the rest that mostly sound the same.

EDIT: Where's that guy who promised to pony up $500 for the Agoura Animal Shelter if a new Helix didn't drop by the end of 2023?

30% Chihuahua and 13% Pug, I would have never guessed. What an interesting mix!
 
Three of my former bestest boys (and girl). I have no puppers in the house until January when we get another. Coincidence that good things come in twos (Stadium and new puppy)? I think not.

My kinda crazy idea would be for Line 6 to have an AI Modder inside of Stadium (and maybe it's already on the roadmap for @Digital Igloo):

It would work like this: Line 6 would have every possible cap, capacitor, tube and voltage on an Agoura amp tweakable - but not to end users Fractal-style with page after page of arcane parameters. Instead, your AI Modder would tweak it with natural language queries. So if you wanted to "Jose Mod" the Plexi. it would look up what values he changed on the internet (or have them banked already) and just do that.

Or if you wanted to Caswell mod it for that Appetite/#34 type groove, you just say it and it does it. Change the preamp or power amp tubes to ____________? No problemo. Add a bright cap or take it away? Just say the word. Add a tube stage or diode clipping? Easy peasy. If it doesn't know it, it scours the Web for the deets.

Agoura gives Line 6 sound engineers all of the tools at their disposal to do whatever, but this would give customers the same power, but with convenience and guard rails so they just follow in the footsteps of people who've already done it.

Oh, and there should be an "FX Designer" too that lets you tell it how you want the existing reverbs, modulation, pitch and delays changed. Then it generates some weirdo mutant offshoots that you can save and share.

My thought is that AI is apt to be part of the cloud profiling/stem separating functions when they comes online, and my thought is they could probably build on the "proxy/stem cloud" and add all kinds of adjunct functionality, with or without AI, without having to worry about executing AI or other functions on a hardware platform that might not be well optimized for it, or without having the unit tied up doing heavy offline calculations and not being able to use it in parallel.
 
So, I guess we have nothing further to discuss on Stadium till the thing actually drops.

I'm signing off for a bit
