Line 6 mystery product speculation

[GTR37]

No doubt. I love real controls too, but we all use phones constantly. Not necessarily a great thing , but we can work our way around a phone like nobody's business.

Maybe we are looking at this wrong and should add encoders to

Some people are trying to fight gravity. DI has more experience with this shit than anyone, and he said they barely lost a coin flip on using a touchscreen ten years ago. That’s with the decade old components and software they had at the time, and he was still fighting for it.

In five years time you won’t be able to release a premier tier device without a touchscreen or equivalent UI.

When you think of the fact Line6 actually did release a product w touchscreen the stage source mixer which was a couple of years prior to HELIX but even back then the graphics were pretty damn good, and that touch para eq looks somewhat familiar

Besides every modern phone having one.

There’s nothing wrong with them, but I think in reference to guitar modelers they are over hyped.

I’ve used them all and there’s not that much difference between using one with and using one without

Maybe instead of a touchscreen they add a camera so you can just use hand gestures instead of reaching down and touching the screen.

One thing I’ve noticed with both QC and TMP is that once you’re in the middle of a gig playing, the touchscreen is pointless and mostly just wasted space.

Companies that are going to incorporate a touchscreen need to spend more time thinking about how best to utilize that screen space for live performance

This is why I don’t care about a touch screen on a device in general. Though as with many technologies, I’m happy to be proven wrong.

Honest question, In a gig how do you for example quickly change the level of say the delay or reverb in a QC?

IIRC you would just click on the reverb or delay block
Then the parameter show and you would adjust the corresponding encoder and hit save

Tap block, turn knob.

Ahh another thread has become about UI

Well Apple is supposedly adding a camera shutter button to the new iPhone, so there’s something to be said about having the right mix of touch and tactile controls.

 

[pipelineaudio]

It doesn't actually apply to any tech at this point in time. Advances in performance vs. cost have largely plateaued. This is subject to change, of course - nature of the beast.

But you can’t possibly say that the same sized dsp when the helix came out wouldn’t be way more powerful for way less money right?

 

[the swede]

I like three knob pedals with a switch.


Sorry… im outahere

And using them with traces of sweat on your fingers sucks.

Sure you will.. fractal will not have a touchscreen

 

[timbuck3]

The QC has proven how badass a touchscreen UI can be. Now we just need a company that we actually like to implement it.

Fractal or Line 6 would kill the game.

I would bet on line6 releasing a touchscreen before fractal

On tmp a lot of wasted real estate

I've taught you so well.

Yes. Yes you will.
