Line 6 Helix Stadium

[Richard_G]

Bummer… I guess used old Stomp it is then

I actually picked up my used and reasonably priced HX Stomp at the post office today. And since the seller hadn’t used the one-time opportunity to buy Helix Native at a lower price (I asked before I bought the Stomp), I’ve now used that opportunity. (Perhaps I could have waited until the next sale, but I wanted it now (finally)).

Still very interested in Stadium, especially the Stomp successor and Stadium Native. Meanwhile, the HX Stomp will be a nice grab-and-go solution.

We've discussed expanding the snapshot count but I can't remember what the deal was.

It would be awesome having a second page of snapshots. Not sure how you could cycle through the pages (maybe with Mode FS?) while also being able to change presets, but I could really use that feature.

Are we talking -maybe- more than 8 Snapshots -or maybe- more than 64 adjustable parameters per Snapshot -or- both ?

Bummer about the editor not being fully capable at launch, but I voted to ship it and catch up by EOY. Unlike Neutered DSP, I have full confidence Line 6 will deliver, without having to debate what the word “soon” means.

Eric:

The editor is actually more important to me than stage. I like my floor device on the floor so I can use my feet as the guitar gods intended. I don’t want to be hunched over the device any more than necessary.

Fully agree. It sounds like theyll only need a month or two to release the full editor, but that seems like a much bigger deal than Spotlight being delayed until EOY. I was planning to keep mine under my studio desk connected to the Borg, so this mildly complicates things in the interim.

If the editor is available a few months after launch, then that’s not bad. If it’s going to be 6+ months then it will be something to consider more seriously.

@Digital Igloo

What’s the current projection for the full editor?

 

[StarF666]

I could live without the editor if you gave me Stadium Native. That and then Stompium for me next, please.

Eric:

For the record, the editor is actually much futher along than we imagined back in June. So that particular bullet isn't an "Awww, the editor won't be available at launch" (which again, almost never happens), it's more "Dang, editor development is so far ahead there was a chance to get it at launch (instead of 6 months later like with Helix Floor—or years later like with some other products), but to be safe, we might have to stick with the librarian for 1.1." If anything, it was good news, not bad news.

Couldn't remember but Igor just set me straight. Unlike in Helix/HX, Snapshot assignment is now independent of controller assignments:

• Snapshot assignments: 96 per preset
• Controller assignments: 16 per source ("source" being a built-in Stomp A or Stomp B switch, built-in expression pedal, external momentary footswitch, external expression pedal, external trigger, XY Controller X-axis, XY Controller Y-axis, incoming MIDI CC, incoming MIDI note, etc.). Collectively this means potentially hundreds of controller assignments.

Conversely, Helix/HX is limited to 64 assignments total per preset, which are shared across both snapshot and controller assignments.

Or…you know… a basic live-streaming setup where we don’t hear the guitar strings clanging over the audio on an open mic :)

OK, now your request makes a lot more sense to me.

In 10 stomp mode there will be 2 pages for a total of 20 assignable foot switches.

I can imagine having the extra snapshots available in this mode might be a solution.

Snapshot 1 to 8 if you use the standard snapshot view, snapshot 9-16 available via command center.

You can relax I am kidding sorry for the mild heart attack

So at least one of the deaths is DI forcefeeding stale case candy to a victim for hours and hours, correct?

 

[timbuck3]

The "Stompium" is - I imagine - still some significant time away.

However .... whenever it drops, it will still be 5 -7 years ahead of when the Amp X is slated to drop.

Amp x is a joke at this point

Watch it, or Thomas Blug will show up at your house and play guitar at you.

 

[timbuck3]

Are you just trolling or you mean this?

I guess I would rather the editor and looper were finished on release so releasing next year would be ok by me. The whole go try for 45 days is somewhat worthless when getting a product released unfinished in a lot of ways. So I would rather they release it more complete but they need money to fund that so releasing early likely helps with the funding.

He would likely be too ocd to even make the effort.
