Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

[Orvillain]

I think scribbles would still be superior if the unit is on the floor. The overlay looks good, but I imagine the text is small enough that when standing up you'll be more like "yeah that looks like the right color" rather than being able to read the text well.

That's exactly what I experience with the scribble strips....

I don't remember having problems reading the Helix or Fractal scribble strips. But there is definitely an aspect of "I know switches #1-4 are snapshots" type aspect to it.

Doesn't mean having the option for the overlay would be a bad addition to the XL!

I think the text would be as big or bigger than what’s in the strips, benefit of the big screen. Also, big colour coded box with icon.

Yeah, I was talking about me.

Screen > scribbles.

If I ever end up dipping my toes into the Stadium pond, I'll want the scribbles! White on black text (as opposed to Fractal's medium blue on lighter blue) would be a major selling point. I can read my (old as dirt, original) MorningstarFX MC-6 with smallish fonts just fine. The Fractal mini-displays? On good days...sometimes. (It did help when they made them bigger. My superturbocharged FM-9 with the playskool sized mini displays is readable....but I still don't like the weird look of 'em.)
