Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

[JiveTurkey]

You mean this online knowledge repository?

Correct. It sends the signal to Paths A and B evenly. Helix/HX works the same way; what would you expect it to do instead?

Too much to read through

 

[AlbertA]

When I first came across that, I expected the signal to B to be muted.

Yeah, this ^

Sorry for the slightly off topic!!

Good afternoon Digital Igloo/ Eric! Are the Stadium XL units still shipping to US distributors for order fulfillment between now and Christmas? Reason I asked, I received mine early on from AMS around Nov. 21, but there was an issue with the unit and had to return to American Musical Supply. They assured me I would be at front of the que since I had already received my Stadium early on. But it doesn't look like any of the US distributors are receiving any over the last 10-12 days or so based on their "availability" information. I'm just anxious to get mine replaced!

Thank you sir for any insight! Kind regards!

Sorry; no idea. If you ping Frank on the FB group, he'd have a much better idea than I.

Thanks brother! Appreciate your quick response!

There are four different types of Splits—Y, A/B, Crossover, and Dynamic. For A/B, bypassing the block gets you the Y state for a two-stomp A/B/Y switch (one assigned to Route To and the other to Split bypass). For Crossover and Dynamic, bypassing the block disables the special path handling. We erred on the side of maintaining bypass behavior consistency for all split types.

@Digital Igloo , perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly, but when I used to run dual amps in full stereo, I noticed that once I panned left and right at the split, I'd have to put in a gain block of +3dB before it to keep the signal level the equivalent of just going straight with mono.

I still think there's some ambiguity whether a stereo signal is hitting an amp harder than a mono signal, or if it's just collapsing down. Let's take the following examples:

1. I put a mono transistor tape in front of a Deluxe Reverb, everything is fine.
2. I then put a stereo transistor tape in front of two Deluxe Reverbs split to paths A and B. The split and join are A left 100, B right 100 for full stereo.

For 2, do I need to put +3dB gain block before the split to keep the signal input level to the amps equivalent to mono? Do I need to adjust the join dB level to keep the total output level equivalent to mono?

I've turned off the auto-assign block to switches. I added a deluxe looper to an empty preset, then manually assigned it to a switch using the capacitive hold mechanism, and no matter how much I mess with it, the looper will not record. It activates, but when I'm in the looper view, none of the switches do anything.

So baffling.

I feel seen!

@Digital Igloo instructions were spot on!

We did change the pan laws in Stadium, but I can't remember how.

Fixed in 1.2. Not too much longer now.

I almost posted about this last night when I found it too. I thought maybe I just don't know how the loopers work. Glad it wasn't just me.

Got my Stadium two weeks ago and been too busy playing it. There are several bugs, some already reported but I feel like there is still some work (and updates) to do. One thing I haven't read about yet are some annoying audio pops when jump changing certain parameters. That's something I didn't notice with OG Helix nor Native. And is there a beta application form somewhere?

...oh and the most important thing:it sounds amazing and it's really a lot of fun just playing around with it.

To be fair, they did ask if people wanted to get it earlier or wait until the Showcase update. People overwhelmingly voted to get it earlier. If it got delayed, I'm sure more bugs would be ironed out.

That's one of the funniest shows I've seen. It's so good.

My favourite episode is the dog episode.

This may seem odd, but I find most software metronomes to be horribly inaccurate.

The Stadium metronome is fantastic.
