Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

I just had a thought about this so forgive me if I’m wrong…but…for those who aren’t running their actual set list on Showcase…

I think you could load, say 5 presets, each with a flag to call them up. Create a song with no music. Just have a 5 measure 4/4 length to it.

Spread the flags evenly on the downbeat of each measure. On beat 1 it calls the preset, it silently advances to beat 4 where the pause flag stops it from going to next measure.

Loop the 5 bar song.

Set it up so you have a toggle foot switch to start or reverse the play back

You end up with ‘Performance Mode à la Kemper!

I have literally not even touched Showcase. My band doesn't use clicks or backing tracks or have lights to program or anything like that. Your solution could work, but, seriously, I just want eight-stomp mode back.

@Digital Igloo, is that a possibility, or could you give me an idea of when the "better solution" you discussed below might show up in an update? I really don't want to go through my 60-plus presets to add Preset Up and Preset Down in the Command Center, and then remember to do that for every new preset I create.

There's no 8-switch Stomp mode in Stadium; both Stomp A and Stomp B are 10-switch. We ditched it because eventually, there'll be a better solution and we didn't want methods conflicting with one another. In the meantime, you can assign FS1 to Bank Up and FS7 to Bank Down from the Command Center, but this is per-preset. Easy to copy/paste them into other presets tho'.
