Line 6 Helix Stadium

Really holding out for that effect that makes me sound like I know what I’m doing. My bass player said it’s called a tuner.

That's the first lesson I taught my son, when he wanted me to help build a little bass board.

"What's the most important pedal on a bass board?"

"Uh, compressor?"

"Close. Tuner."

Yes, but not at launch.

And as it hasn't been answered: Will input level be available as a modulator?

Edit: It'd be pretty similar to sidechain inputs but possibly more straight ahead. And as drum triggers can be used as modulators, a kinda logical conclusion would be that input level could serve the very same purposes.

At launch, drum triggers effectively act as engage mechanisms, like a footswitch. So you can use them to recall presets/snapshots, start/stop a song, control the looper, etc. Nothing in Stadium pays attention to the trigger's signal level, other than whether it exceeds a user-specified threshold to engage the assigned function.

Ok, thanks.

One reason would be they've invested God knows how much to bring stadium to market. To only then go "oh well here's this new massive project/genuinely new product a year later" would be such a bizarre use of resources.

My theory was that I realize they put a lot of money and research and whatever into this new helix Stadium, but that’s gonna be considered the flagship now obviously but they’re probably phase out the old helix, and this will become the new helix, and then the next iteration will probably have a whole new namewhether that comes in a year or two years 10 years I don’t know, but that’s my guess they wanted to get this display the touchscreen in the gooey the GUI on this new unit called helix so that the next iteration can come along and this will be kind of like the HD 500 was when helix was released

Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify cancelling the preorder I guess

then the next iteration will probably have a whole new namewhether that comes in a year or two years 10 years

^this is the correct answer, if you want to wait another decade before buying a Helix

 

[Dom Mcsweeney]

they wanted to get this display the touchscreen in the gooey

yes, that's precisely what they wanted

Some of y'all act like you haven't spent a decade at TGP with Timbuk and it shows

Are you saying timbuk3 is just an interim TGF member between timbuk2 and the real flagship timbuk joining us next year?

 

[mbenigni]

Probably true for a lot of us. That’s when the Helix was announced, and THE Helix thread just about broke the internet.

 

[Fireproof]

Ha. I joined in 2010.

After the demise of Harmony Central.

I mean, Stadium hasn't even launched yet and you're thinking about when will the next product be released, when Stadium has arrived 10 years after OG Helix...

I'm curious about why you seem to be trying so hard to find a reason to cancel your preorder, tbh

Let's say you are right.....now what, what are you going to do with this information?

Cancel his order, because Stadium = Pod HD.

Oh, I agree with you that there will be a next iteration at some point. Don't know how it'll be called.. But imo it's reasonable to think we may see some more radical rebranding in terms of the names of the units eventually.

I just think if that happens it'll take a long, long time. Personally I would confidently buy a stadium if I was in need of a modeler/profiler and wanted updates for time to come -- or at least the possibility of a new unit some time in the future probably wouldn't deter me, considering what we know about the stadium.

If you buy a stadium but dislike the helix amp sims (if you do), how about not using them? Like, focus on the agora parts, the agora updates and the capturing process when it comes out, if that interests you :) I use fractal units a lot and also tend to practically disregard certain aspects of them.

Every piece of technology is an intermediate device. Ever. If that’s an issue, digital modeling products might not be for you.

Can we just move on and pretend this never happened?
