  1. Hi, You might want to read through this thread for a clue. Hope this helps/makes sense.
  2. Hi, Helix Native is an AAX/AU/VST plugin for a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) such as Pro Tools, Reaper, Studio One, Logic Pro, etc. You do not need to have your hardware connected to use it, but it's a helps if you should yo need to use it as a USB Audio Interface to get your basic guitar sound into the DAW More info and video here: https://line6.com/helix/helixnative.html Hope this help/makes sense.
  3. My mistake - I was confusing this with another issue elsewhere.
  4. Hi, It might be worthwhile having a read of the Helix Floor v.3 Owner’s Manual - page 56 - Re: CC Toggle commands for the 2 states (Dim or Lit) https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a3f041b611d61cac763b/application/pdf/Helix 3.0 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense.
  5. Hi, Here we go again, another first post without doing a little research. I cannot see this happening after being on the market since 2015, especially has it has been discussed may times previously. I don’t want to type out all the reasons again - See my reply in this thread:- Oh, here’s another - Lots of other beat creation options out there in the world. Hope this helps/makes sense.
  6. Hi, If it is the big knob that is damaged, then you can find a replacement here: https://www.fullcompass.com/prod/525522-line-6-30-45-0053-volume-knob-for-helix If it is the shaft on the potentiometer, then maybe a regular electronics repair shop could fix it. Hope this helps/makes sense.
  7. Oh, I know what you mean. I ran the Native Access recently and noticed that some items will no longer download automatically - I guess these are now to be regarded as legacy products? It’s all planned obsolescence and madness. Aaarrrgghhhh!
  8. As previously stated the key word here is MIDI. It was me that posted the link to Sweetwater that mentioned "Half Damper" pedals, and I asked if you had read that, because you seemed to think this was a solution, when obviously it is not. If anyone had managed to create the same functionality as the Gamechanger Bigsby pedal, by using a mucho cheapo keyboard damper pedal, then YouTube, TGP and the rest of the guitar forums of the interwebs would be alive with the info on how to do it yourself. As you have discovered, this isn't the case and your's would appear to be a futile quest. Buy yourself a copy of "The Big Book of Helix Tricks 1.4" by @craiganderton and read Chapter 4|Poly Block Techniques which seems to cover all available tricks. Hope this helps/make sense, but probably not!
  9. It's the same every time Apple put out a new OS, the whole house of cards comes tumbling down, and they blame other developers for not keeping up. PITA.
  10. My guess that this is just the same as all the panic about OS 11 and M1 https://line6.com/support/page/kb/general-faq/operating-system-information/macos-11-big-sursilicon-m1-chip-compatibility-r985/:~:text=Both Intel and Apple Silicon,M1 systems at this time. Hope this helps
  11. Hi, This has been discussed many times in the past, but … There are no Line 6 staff here and only very occasionally do they visit these forums - (See the “sticky comment” in the black banner stripe at the top of this page entitled “Welcome to the Line 6 forums”). This link is where you need to go to have any hope of your suggestion been seen by anyone from Line 6: https://line6.ideascale.com/c/ Before posting any new ideas, please do a search to see if it's already been listed. Multiple requests for the same thing will thin out the votes. Also, post your ideas one at a time. Many users don’t vote for combined suggestions. Then you should use the “sticky thread” in this forum to let other users know what your suggestions are, with links to IdeaScale, so they can vote on it if they wish.
  12. Hi, The Gamechanger pedal has a SHARC audio processor, along with a custom algorithm to allow it to perform it’s Poly Pitch Bigsby style jiggery pokery. So, yesterday using my Helix Floor, I decided to give this a whirl. I set a Poly Pitch block on Path A, and that didn’t really leave enough space for an amp and cab, which I added on Path B, along with a Plate Reverb. I selected the poly block and set it to be controlled by FS1 as a momentary switch with a +1 shift. I then played around with the timings for the shift and return, plus messed with the curve. Yup! That works - up, down up, down etc. I did the same thing by changing the shift to +2, and also -1 and - 2. No problem. The downside of this is you sacrifice one entire DSP and risk breaking a foot switch with constant clicking, plus it it limited to either shifting up or down, not both by travelling through a zero point. Right from the very start of Helix users clamouring for the addition of poly pitch shifting, they were made aware of how much dedicated processing it requires. If you’re willing to lose half of the power of your unit, and subject a foot-switch to intense wear and tear - fine. But consider this, by thinking you may have “saved hundreds”, you possibly risk causing physical damage to your LT, and that could be very expensive-(note: check out some of the many posts from @theElevators regarding LT switches). You may be better off with a MIDI switcher or even the real GA Bigsby pedal. Another option is to buy a guitar that is fitted with a Bigsby. There are many good reasons that people use dedicated external hardware solutions. Hope this helps/makes sense.
  13. Hi, I found this that may, or may not, have some relevant info you can checkout. It seems that you need a gizmo that has a built in DAC (Digital Audio Converter). I don’t know how good the info in this link is, because if I need to do what you want, I have both an iPhone and iPad. https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/y9uq6x/how_do_i_enable_audio_over_usbc_for_my_pixel_7/ Hope this helps/makes sense.
  14. Well, to be quite honest about your quest for a cheap, simple solution to creating this function - if this was a real possibility then Gamechanger Audio would not be asking the the price they do for this product. It is obviously not just a repackaged keyboard “damper/sustain pedal”. https://gamechangeraudio.com/bigsby-pedal/ You might want to try investigating the possibility of using Command Centre to trigger momentary switching with the attack and release functions of pitch shifting options. Maybe time to bite the bullet, and buy the tool to do the job? Hope this helps/makes sense. EDIT: You said - “But in experimenting with pitch, I did think the quality was decent” And so it should be. Did you know that the poly pitch shifting functions of your Helix were created by the same team that had previously worked on, and developed the DigiTech Wammy?
  15. The key word here is “MIDI”. That suddenly appeared from nowhere. Have you been reading this? https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/half-damper/ The thing that baffles me is why you appear to be set against using a dedicated expression pedal? Then you seem to have dismissed the PolyPitch function without actually trying it.
