Are you using the balanced XLR outs from the Helix to your interface? If not, I'd try using those first and check their ground settings, too.

From that pulldown:

Better don't use them if you really want a rotary effect. They're among the most dissapointing FX in the HX series.

I'd simply forget about it. They've got more than enough issues to sort out with the Stadium line. The Variax is pretty much a dead product. Not manufactured anymore. So I wouldn't bet on them to care about the software anymore. Well, kind of in defense of Line 6, they have supported the original Helix line for quite a long time. I'd say that users got quite something for their money there. Could it be better? Perhaps. Will it happen in a capitalistic world? Likely not.

If at all, Line6 will offer NAM support for their Stadium units. But it will *never* come to any of the older units. I'd hold each and every bet on that. They'd shoot themselves in the feet with that.

Most tone knobs are just that, passive high cuts.

The + is only out for a pretty short time.

He's asking about the Tonex One. Which doesn't support MIDI natively at all (hence the existance of the new Tonex One +, the main purpose of it to exist being to add MIDI). There's a "hack", though. Some clever dude came up with a GitHub project and a DIY box that adds MIDI to the TXO. You can find it here: https://github.com/Builty/TonexOneController You can as well buy a readymade box from Pirate MIDI: https://piratemidi.com/products/polar?variant=46533908693044 I bought their Polar Pico and am now controlling my TXO via MIDI. Works absolutely great.

The entire HX series IMO has a rather huge visibility issue (one of the reasons I sold my Floor), but for me it's never been worse on the Stomp (which I still own) than it was on the Floor. You rather get used to remembering what's behind a patch number, though.

I actually doubt there'll be any updates worth much, if at all. But ok, let's see once there's something beyond (as in: new FX) amps coming up with the Stadiums. Then we will know. One thing is for certain: There won't be any noteworthy usability updates anymore. And these are in fact the things I'd want.

This is one of the things I constantly use. But I'm not trying to make an electric sound like and acoustic but rather enhance the piezo signal of my acoustics. Recorded the same stuff twice through the piezo and a decent mic (Rode NT2-A), then used Spectrum Thief (freeware Match-EQ plus IR generator from Ghost Note audio, one of *the* most excellent tools!) to obtain an IR from the mic'ed signal. Now I can just slap that onto the piezo signal. Getting incredibly great results IMO.

What silverhead said. I'd possibly not bother too much as the latest internal cabs of the HX series are pretty damn good, so you'd likely be wasting a lot of time hunting IRs without much of a substantial win (if any). Add to this that you'd have to "waste" an extra block for them whereas you could just use a single amp&cab block in case you're doing fine with the internal cabs.

It's quite weird. I never got it to work until I did a single quick voice memo recording with the Stomp connected. All of a sudden, playback from Android to the Stomp would work as well. Doublechecked on two devices (Samsung A55 and Tab A9), so you might want to give that a try. Edit: Just tried again, worked one time, then, after a dis/re-connect, it wouldn't work anymore. Pretty bad.

No, that's not possible.

Given inflation and what not, the price is quite comparable to where the OG Helix once was. The big difference these days is possibly because L6 and their retailers want to get rid of the last units. Would be interesting to know whether they're still in production, though - but my bet would be no. I actually think that's pretty unreasonable given the current state of the flagships. There's really a lot of stuff to do for them and the rollout has been somewhat slower than expected already - so I really doubt anyone at L6 would work on any OG line updates unless it'd be a piece of cake to implement them. I'd happily be proven wrong, though (as I still use my Stomp and HX Native here and there). I'd rather see some usability updates (such as better parameter list for the Stomp, being able to completely disable the touch capacity of the switches and what not), but I think that's even less likely to happen. But hey, maybe we do in fact see some drives or FX, in case they're not too CPU hungry and in case porting them over is easy. Business wise, I defenitely won't hope for anything, though. If at all, L6 wants us to buy their new hardware.
