Line 6 Helix Stadium

[AlbertA]

They are not implementing that same use half your DSP to do gapless switching this time DI has said that they are looking into other ways to do it not so taxing in the CPU so it is conceivable that OG Helix will have quicker switching on launch

Fender ToneMaster Pro best contribution to the field.

 

[KHAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!!]

You asked for it.

Perhaps with occasional and abrupt interjections along the way by Orvillain.

Stadium feature request - very cool

 

[ian_dissonance]

I totally get that method! But the same color ring configuration is available on Helix, and you can switch between any of 8 snapshots which would give you more immediate access than 5 GT-1000 patches in a bank.

You can pretty much make the footswitches do anything on a per-preset basis. Most of my live stuff is presets on one and two and then everything else is assigned somewhere else. And the preset number is also the tap tempo so I never forget which one I’m on, lol.

When I tried the tmp a few times the patch switching was very fast

Isn’t your signal chain sort of limited to what template you load? Do they all switch the same?

He once (long ago on TOP) described a scenario where he walked into a hotub store in his swimsuit, hoping for a test drive, and in my mind's eye this always plays out as a Sasha Cohen skit.

For real?!

Omg. I’m going to now think Tim is an Americanized Borat.

Is nice

 

[molul]

I'm drunk enough to consider opening a poll to vote if people think if timbuck will keep the stadium preorder, but not drunk enough not to see that it might not be well received by moderators.

 

[bucephalus]

No chance

Spoken like a proper American.

Full throughput latency

It sounds like it’s too early to say, but curious if you’ve noticed a reduction or increase in Helix’s latency for standalone usage with the updated platform.

IIIRC we’re somewhere between 1.5-3ms depending on configuration and the preset. I would be surprised if there was a reduction, and wonder if the increased complexity of the modeling perhaps adds to it at all.

For real?!

This is how I remember it, anyway. It’s possible he was just carrying his swimsuit, and was incredulous to find there were no changing rooms.

Tim, do you have anything to say for yourself?

(Those posts are probably still on TOP, actually. Just search “the” Helix thread for “hotub” LOL.)

At the risk of derailing a thread that has remained solidly locked on topic so far ... Can someone explain to me why all Youtube channels are Canadian?

Drinking early on a Friday I see, doesn’t sound like a bad idea

And yeah if he doesn’t cancel the preorder he will 100% find some nitpicking reason to return it, I mean he’s already looking for them and he hasn’t even played it yet.

I'm surprised we haven't seen quite a few of these already. I don't think I'm too drunk to remember any...

My God you guys you are insane
When I was looking for hot tubs, I was going to shop at this particular store that said come on in and try our hot tubs. We have quite a few models full. Just bring your suit and jump in.
So yeah, I wore my swimming suit there cause you know as guys it looks like a pair of shorts anyways and I went in and I said hey I’m here to test the tub and the guys like oh you have to make an appointment and I said that wasn’t on your website. Can I just jump in and try them? I mean I’m interested in buying And they said no so I left no big deal.

I might be remembering wrong but I though I had read it was date night and he brought a guest, floating lounge , Chardonnay and mood lighting ?

Tim can you clarify or are these just unfounded reports

Your version isn't near enough fun.
