What's the next Helix Stadium SKU you'd like to be released next?

[Frodebro]

My uneducated guess would however be that they will release a new Stomp earlier than 3 years after the big boys, given what a success it has been.

They can call it the Cordy Stadium.

The very first next thing I'd like to see is the HX Edit Successor. I'll be interested to see what they come up with for a mobile app, but I suspect I won't get on well trying to do much on a small phone screen, and I don't want to buy a tablet. When I decide between XL and notXL I'll be pretty set I think with hardware form factors.

I voted for the one that's actually out first.

 

[Sascha Franck]

Oh, I thought it was the other way around: to control the hardware from the plugin.

It'd work both ways.

 

[Sascha Franck]

Basically everything about how Helix Native currently works is so there is parity with HX Edit and I think it means that many of the benefits of using a plugin on a computer get lost.

Which benefits are these?

 

[Sascha Franck]

I voted for the one that's actually out first.

I'd take a bet on Native.
People very likely just expect it to go hand in hand with their hardware. One of *the* killer features of the HX line IMO (I don't use that connection all that often, but whenever I do it just makes me smile).

Can't you see what he voted? Or am I the only one for opening the thread?

Anyway, it was Helix Desktop App.

 

[Sascha Franck]

Can't you see what he voted?

Oh whoops, didn't see you can click on the voters and then see their names. And I didn't even realize HX Edit was there - because that's an obvious one I think.

At some point we'll get a Stadium Stomp, and it's going to make waves just like the OG Stomp did back in 2018.

[Dom Mcsweeney]

+1 for Native, with the new Agoura amps + Proxy models + fingers crossed, support for NAM models.

Also, just for the people crying out for more Amps:

Guys, is the mobile app. L6 already confirmed it's coming out first, before even a desktop editor.

maybe both?

Well, DI voted for the desktop app and said he voted for the first one to come out.

Something without footswitches but isn't as huge as a rack processor. I understand the screen would make it huge so this may never exist, I don't care about a touch screen, could even offload that to a pad on a mic stand for all I care. I just want the brains disconnected from the switches and not to lug around a big ass rack case.

native native native.

Wouldn't mind a paid update as long as Agoura sounds super duper.

Maybe if they increase the Stomp screen size, it might be reused in the Rack.

 

[MirrorProfiles]

Which benefits are these?

Lack of graphics, limited number of controls, sliders, the overall look, method of building presets. Even the way the plugin oversamples is done to match the HW, when they could potentially do things in a way that sounds better by not keeping it 1:1 with the HW (for instance, check the phase response of an empty Helix Native patch).

Metallurgy has a kind of half attempt to take advantage of what a computer based Helix product can do but it was kind of fudged and ultimately abandoned. I hope they give it another crack and learn from the things that didn’t turn out like they hoped.

I hope Line 6 have something coming up tailored for the bedroom / home studio musician… a plugin version, a compact desktop device or something completely different that nobody is expecting. ;-)

IMO a small desktop device without foot switches - just the touchscreen and some analog and digital I/O (SPDIF, please) - would make a lot of sense. Or - if Line 6 provide proper low latency drivers - a DSP powered audio interface, that could really be the centerpiece of a home studio.

I would like to get Helix Stadium Native, too.

But I highly doubt that it will be just an update to the existing plugin. I guess - if it ever happens - it will be a completely new product that has to be paid for (and I‘m 100% fine with that).
