Line 6 Helix Stadium

20% off of nothing is still nothing.

Just sayin', I hate that 3D picture type crap. It's a waste of the screen real estate.
Jeez, this again? Stagescape M20d's Smart FX was pretty much the exact same thing. This time we simply chose to show an image of the selected model instead of a big, boring empty field:
Line6 StageScape M20d Digital Mixer - Muziker


There are obviously other screens to look at. IMHO, the signal flow view is the lamest, least helpful, most engineer-brain-centric view in any multieffect. It should only be used when organizing your blocks while first making presets. That might be why I like using HX Effects so much—the signal flow view is hidden in a menu and 90% of the UX is just 1) touch a switch to select, 2) turn knobs.

Once Stadium is shipping, y'all can suggest alternatives for what you want to appear in the Focus view field.

I’ve had a Kemper for many years so for me, anything due North of writing is good :)

Seriously, not slagging my Kemper - it’s been great. I’m liking the pictures you’ve shown so far personally.

No UI, just the ability to SSH into it and edit values in configuration files 😈

Yes, this again (though I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve said it in regards to the Stadium). Just stating my opinion, I just don’t like this stuff on modelers. I guess it’s my IT guy brain, but signal flow is all I want. If I can just set it to that, then I guess I’ve got no complaint.

I detest the Fender, because their shitty graphics for the workflow looks like Baby’s First Modeler.

Don’t be such a sensitive peach when someone shares an opinion.

I'll split the difference and say Baby's First Modeler is in the Turdblaster's signal chain, not in the graphics depicting the blocks themselves.

I'm with Digital Igloo on this. The signal flow becomes basically just a quick tap access to blocks once you have laid out what you want in a preset. So it could be used for something else too.

Focus view is one option and you don't have to use it.

I'd like to see a view that can show multiple blocks at once. This is useful if you are adjusting e.g amp vs cab, drive vs amp etc. With real pedals and amps you always see where your knobs are but in the virtual realm you have to toggle back and forth between blocks which is ass.

Well, I’ll obviously try it when it comes out, and give my honest opinion.

I mean, you'll miss out on the ability to quickly dial in each amp or effect. Or move the mic in relation to the cab with your finger. Or any number of other things we have planned for Focus view in the future.

It's literally a harmless static image to fill in what would otherwise be a big empty field. The purpose of the images is to incentivize users into taking a breath, slowing down, and checking each model out (perhaps trying a few different focus zones to see how the sound/behavior changes) instead of "skip model, strum, nope, skip model, strum, nope, skip model, strum, nope, skip model, strum, nope..." A list of model names one above each other does no one favors, although those sensitive to rendered gear images can even switch the Model List to list view. ;)

Can you add an option for it to be plain, like your older product? Or even better, black with Linux terminal green? :D

I’m pretty sure you can still use the classic signal path view, you don’t have to use focus view, and even then you could try it out, and then save it/back out and see the signal chain
