Blackstar Live Logic MIDI Controller.... Bought for advanced control of a Pigtronix Infinity, and it's just amazingly easy and efficient (and sturdy).

Has anyone tried the new 1.06 firmware for there G10T
PierM replied to PsychoPops's topic in Relay Digital Wireless
Because they rather you not downgrading than paying a million dollar lawsuit for a unit burning down your house. -

PierM replied to PsychoPops's topic in Relay Digital Wireless
I think you can get around 3 hours with units pretty much new, but those which were getting ~2 hours after the 1.05, they'll be getting the same after 1.06, just without glitches during charging, which is good tho. I believe none of them lasts 6 hours as advertised. -
New 1.06 update is only for the transmitter (G10T).
-
They were probably worried about users dealing the old G10 firmware via PM....lol...(btw, yep, pm are gone)
-
What about barefoot translucent toppers (and setting no led at all for the off-status)? If you can't see those, then it's time for a eye-check. :D

The firmware does only fix the erratic behavior of the G10T when charging under warm environment, whatever this mean. Once charged, the battery lasts the same as 1.05; average 2.x hours. -
It's not possible to add Send/Return and Looper blocks within Helix Native. Those are only present when importing an hardware preset (but they do nothing, since there is no hardware for those functions).
-
Fair enough. :) As for my setup, yes and no. Pedalboard it's basically reproducing my typical setup on my average Helix patch, so it's redundant in terms of stuff I need. I'm now moving more on the pedalboard (quicker, more reliable, tone is better), and using Helix just for record and get a better routing for specific projects, but I'm fading out form using it outside the studio/home.

What about switching to Helix Rack? This way you'd have the main LCD in a completely different angle, and you can put it where you want. Also much easier to protect from the light. You also said you do a lot of "on the fly" editing, so this is another good reason to use a rack. I do use a rack, never had a problem under any kind of light, direct, diffuse, whatever. Another good thing of using a rack, in daylight conditions, it's that you can put fans on the back to the rack, to control overheating, which can be really bad under the sun, on a Helix floor. Just food for thought... :)

It would make it worse if Helix LCD were already sporting a polarized screen, which I don't think it is, since this should black out the vision through a polarized lens, and it doesn't (at least not on my Helix)... If you do this with an iPhone, which does indeed use a polarized LCD screen, then yeah, it would make it basically black. Anyway, was just an idea. In theory, you could achieve same thing using a polarized film for LCD screens, this should absorb a big part of glare, making the screen much more readable under direct light. With sunglasses, you would also see scribble strips and footswitch rings. I quickly did a short clip using a polarized lens for camera, just to show what I mean. https://www.dropbox.com/s/p5ct2lm7xgr5xcy/IMG_2872.mov?dl=0 More reference; http://www.lcdparts.net/Film3D.aspx

Have you tried wearing sunglasses with polarized lenses?

I installed the 1.06 on my brother's G10T, and battery duration seems pretty much the same (average 2h), but the erratic led flashing (red, then green then red, then red flashing base, white etc. etc..), seems fixed. Dunno if battery behavior will improve on next discharge/charge cycle, I'll keep monitoring it, but I guess what they fixed is the bad charger-receiver/transmitter communication, in warm environments (which would kinda explain the randomness of the glitches)...
-
Damn! Im selling my Helix Rack....but now Im curious.... :D

There is a firmware (1.06) for the G10T. Should take care of the flashing glitches. Not sure will improve the battery charge lifespan, but I'm happy they quickly reacted to a evident issue. "We have determined that certain Relay® G10T wireless transmitters with v1.05 firmware may not charge optimally within warm environments. The v1.06 firmware update addresses this issue to ensure correct charging behavior, as well as improving the response of the LED to more accurately display charging status. The v1.06 update also incorporates the important safety updates from the v1.05 firmware released in March of this year."

Rotary encoder is weld on the main LCD screen PCB. I can only think of a bad repair from someone who tried to fix it at home.

Hi, I think the Volume Knob on the PC112+, it's the same knob as Helix Phones Knob. Check with the British Audio guys, they are great! https://britishaudio.com/collections/line-6-parts/products/line-6-helix-phones-knob

For those finding the tone a bit muffled, you should try the HF trim, that does allow you to control the gain just on the high frequency driver. At +6dB it's making me happy. Give it a try! ;)

Bridge height also depends on neck joint angle, which always has a tolerance. Mine is basically bottomed out. Either way, as soon as it does feel and sound right, shouldn't be an issue. -
I was just wondering if Helix has all the hardware that's needed to drive a similar effect, but I have seen the Freqout board, and indeed looks all driven by a DSP and a Bios...so, I think would be all a matter to write the correct algo. I was wrong in my doubt. :)
-
Honestly I don't know. I just posted what I've read from a L6 guy over here, or TGP, don't remember. :)

Maybe they also approach tasks by priority, doing pedals that most people wants and/or that have some "heritage". Freqout is cool, but it's something you use couple of times, in a song o two.... and that's it. Also not even sure it's doable just with DSPs...
