Yeah. I have trails on the delay. There's a very audible 1 second delay. The patches themselves are very simple Dist - Amp - Cab - Compression - Delay and Volume pedal. I would have thought due to the increase in DSP the switch time would be quicker or at least similar. I would have never guessed it would be a second. Other issues I'm having is I have a patch with a Simple Pitch up and octave. Mix 100%. Sometimes when I turn on this patch the volume drops and no pitch is audible. If it switch to another patch and go back it works fine. I know these are all teething issues and will hopefully be sorted. I just feel it's not quite ready for being my main board. I've used the Stadium XL this past 2 nights and I just don't have confidence in it yet. It didn't feel polished or professional and it did affect my show. \m/

I'm not gonna lie. The jury is out on the Stadium XL. I've been a Helix user for 8 years and I fully understand that this is early days for the Stadium but I'm going to continue using the OG Helix until simple things like the unacceptable delays between changing patches is fixed. Yes there was a slight delay on the OG but it was workable. The Stadium is simple not gig ready yet. I've also noticed a few other bugs but I'll report these separately.

Yes. I use it all the time along with my Helix Floor. Cakewalk should detect it automatically and it will appear in your VST plugins once installed. \m/
