100% agree about the stop button, it's a necessity for live contexts! I encourage everyone to submit a feedback form regarding this: https://line6.com/company/contact/productfeedback/

It almost renders the looper useless for live contexts to not have a dedicated stop button. I also tried the MIDI workaround, alas to no avail.

100% agree, at least having the option to do heel down! Feel like it can't be that difficult from a software standpoint and honestly not sure why it isn't one to begin with.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I encourage anyone who feels similarly about these issues to submit feedback as well, I’m sure multiple submissions would encourage Line 6 to make these changes!

Let me first say that I love this thing; feels so much more inspiring to play through the Helix Stadium than the Kemper for me. Love the plethora of effects/routing options/amp models. That being said, I have noticed some issues in the past month of ownership that I feel could easily be fixed with future updates. The list: 1) HEEL DOWN TUNER Maybe this is just coming from Kemper, but I am so used to having the tuner activate when the volume pedal is in the heel down position. I rely on this for quick tuning changes between songs more than I anticipated, and I feel like it’s an easy thing to add. 2) DEDICATED LOOPER STOP BUTTON I do a fair bit of live looping for solo acoustic gigs; with the Kemper, there was a dedicated stop button to store the loop/not have it autoplay for when I want to loop a section and play it later. From what I’ve seen, Helix Stadium does not currently support this, which makes live looping much more restrictive than on the Kemper. 3) INVERTED COLOR OPTION FOR SCRIBBLE STRIPS Most of my gigs have been outside during the day, and even at max brightness I really cannot see the touchscreen or the scribble strips at all (especially wearing sunglasses). I feel like a simple solution would be to invert the blacks & whites on the scribble strips so that it could be black text on white background. Or maybe there are polarized screen protectors that help with this? If anyone has dealt with this issue and has another solution, please let me know. 4) NO DIRECT MONITORING USING HELIX STADIUM AS INTERFACE The Kemper has a very simple option on the output section to turn on/off Direct Monitoring when using as an interface (mostly for reamping purposes); I am not seeing a simple option like this on the Helix Stadium XL. Again, this may just be me not looking hard enough, so if anyone knows how to make this work please let me know. These are not dealbreakers by any means (the looper one a bit more so than others), but I really do feel these are easily addressable/improvable issues in future updates. Hoping the powers that be see this and consider implementing these changes. Would love to hear other people’s experiences!
