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

Give me a Stadium POD. Full size screen, all the same knobs and buttons, but in a desktop piece of hardware.

Well, the Pod GO was 36x23cm, while the Stadium is 41x24. Pretty close.

Or were you talking about the kidney POD?

Am I out of line thinking that we don't really need a new Native? Wouldn't it just be adding the new models within the existing plugin? So releasing an update just like they do following every firmware update for the Helix. I'm not saying it's like super easy, just that it's a VST that they already port their algos to.

Good point. Maybe a re-skin to match Stadium look? (Unless the UX will be updated on the new editor, then I would expect an update to Native as well)

The UI must be heavily changed, the new Agoura engine must be ported, Proxy will be added eventually (player block, not profiling), and keeping compatibility with Stadium and non Stadium devices would be a nightmare.

With these things in mind, a new Native is the right choice. Native for current Helix devices and Stadium Native for the new generation.

The kidney. Not a floor unit, a desktop one. It can be rectangular instead of bean shaped.
