Hard to compare apples and oranges... Tip: Take a glimpse of the manual (pages 36 foll. - you'll see ;) ) http://de.line6.com/support/manuals/helix-native/ Check this out, too: https://helixhelp.com/ More discussion here, please: http://line6.com/support/forum/90-helix-native/

Let's see what happens with firmware / software vers. 2.30. Guess some harmonization / unification will come (DI held out in prospect)...

Well, I see... Anyway, check out wich version of the app you use: Should be 64bit! (Fishman, Native and / or DAW host) https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/when-i-launch-my-fishman-tripleplay-software-it-only-scans-my-32-bit-plug-ins-how-do-i-make-it-see-the-64-bit-plug-ins/ http://line6.com/support/page/kb/_/recording/helix-native/helix-native-faq-r866

I'm curious: Where did you find that?

I had to update each and every firmware - but now Variax and HELIX sound absolutely fine. The JTV here sounds much better through Helix (even if the communication with DT amps is not provided (as with PODs...) ). I guess you have to adjust your modeled guitar sounds (string volumes) and improve your Helix patches (tones)...

Yep. Works fine. Sometimes for bass, too ;)

Just for clarification (and to armchair quarterback ;))... Fishman triple play is a midi pickup (and converter software) mainly and needs sound generators or (soft)synths. Helix Native is a modeling software for 'regular' pickups (or Variaxes, NOT midi guitars) and works as an audio plugin - not as a virtual instrument (VSTi's)... Anyway, check your host software / DAW. Helix should be listed under VST audio effects.

Right. Helix Native needs needs an active network adapter - but you can block network traffic...

I guess you have to update Line 6 Driver2, Helix firmware 2.21, Helix editor 2.21, too...

(...and If you deactivate that PCI interface, for example, then Helix quits :mellow: ) As I mentioned above, Helix Native needs a (specific) active network adapter. Obviously, the computer activation is dependent / related to that adapter. That's why I marked this thread as solved: We have an 'adapter dependency' ;)

Sorry, I have to be precisely. If I unplug the cable (WLan-Stick), adapter is deactivated => Helix Native quits...

Excuse and information: This is for the paid, fully licensed and activated version of Helix Native: After checking out each and every alternative here, I have to declare that Helix Native needs no (permanent) connection (to the internet) BUT it needs an active network adapter (LAN module, card, WLAN-stick, [...] If that deactivated, Helix Native won't work. Obviously, the computer activation is dependent / related to an adapter (or card [...]). Sorry if I caused any inconvenience.

...it's a little speaker icon you have to activate... https://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=121497

Trial period for the full license?? [...] Helix Native needs internet...

Same here. Needs internet connection, though.

For the moment, Helix Native works 'only' as a VST-plugin for sequencer software / DAWs (like Reaper, Cubase, ProTools)... In other words: You need a host software to run Native.

No. The sentence is too long. It should be: 'Internet connection required' (full stop).

I bought & authorized Helix Native. Seems not important to be signed in. Native needs internet.

Right. THIS IS NOT THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR. I don't talk about signing in / off (or computer authorizing). Native needs an (active) internet connection. See what happens if you physically disconnect it (or disable network adapters)...

Maybe because you use a different network adapter / interface? And how do you disconnect?! Computer here is connected via WLAN-Stick - really disconnected when it's unplugged.

Signin or authorizing is not the problem (here)... I don't have to sign in again. Online = Native works. But Helix Native needs that active internet connection, without it (computer offline) it doesn't work (connection failed). Guess that's kind of an 'internet dongle' (copy protection).
