user error found and remedied.

this is a bit confusing as i can already see the settings, per snapshot, via the Command Center window. i'll have to look into a monitor program as i've never used one.

stupid question- how does one post a patch? I've never had the need to do so. if you're not inclined, i get it.

I've been using midi messages for a while now via snapshots, solely to assign a given H90 program to a given snapshot. Given that the H90 can have two presets per program, i'm trying to mute one of the presets within a H90 program via snapshots. On the LT i use 4 snapshots per preset. the way i was able to mute an H90 preset specific to a snapshot on the LT is: midi channel = Base CC# = 1 Value = 1 Wait Time = 0 Conversely, to have the H90's preset unmuted: midi channel = Base CC# = 0 Value = 0 Wait Time = 0 these values allow me to have the chosen H90 preset muted on two snapshots (first group of settings). perfect. but on the other two snapshots that i want the H90 preset to be UNmuted, only ONE snapshot gives me the unmuted H90 effect, despite having the same exact midi settings (2nd group) assigned in Command Center i'm sure it's user error, but i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. Eventide Output Gain CC# is set to 1, FWIW So basically i've 3 out of 4 snapshots doing exactly what i need them to do, but that one snapshot (#3) refuses to give me the unbypassed/active H90 preset, despite snapshot 1 giving me just that, despite using the same midi values. make it make sense. Oh, and i should add- these exact same assigned parameters work perfectly in another preset...which makes me wonder if i've a buggy preset?

correct, but you'd be on the brink of running out of CPU...at least i would as i use poly pitch and other CPU hogs.

i don't know, as i haven't taken the Stadium plunge yet. i'm sure 3 clones of each channel can be done in a single preset as another person mentioned, but i'm guessing there's little room left CPU-wise for any moderate to heavy effects processing...especially if i'm to use pitch-based effects, which i do use. probably isn't going to work for me.

Long time LT user here who’s been holding out on Stadium, but now I’m feeling a bit more incentivized to possibly purchase one w/the recent release of Proxy. Question regarding Proxy’d amps and possible CPU limitations: Let’s say I want to clone all three of my amp’s channels. Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems that I’d have to store each cloned channel as its own block within a given preset, which is where my concern lies in terms of running out of CPU...and i'd need them all in one preset to call up via snapshots. That said, i'd just be cloning the amp head, no speakers, so that might save me a little bit of CPU, but still, 3 Proxy's in 1 preset, along with other effects blocks seems it would be munching up CPU quickly. Warranted concern or is there a workaround to this.

i'd be happy for one more update that'll fix the problem i've been having w/my LT for over a year now: if i scroll presets too quickly via the foot switches, the LT locks up, forcing me to reboot. usually by the 5th preset scrolled is when it'll lock up. by now it's become 2nd nature for me to slow down, or just use the rotary knob if i have to scroll great distances, but it sure would be nice to see this get taken care of.

It's a Suhr PT15IR, which gives me all the core tones i need for my current band. As such, i'm only using the LT to control the amp, and effects. I was just messing around trying to get a cool Vox-y edge of breakup sound outside of my band when i'm just noodling at home. I'd purchased Worship Tutorials' Z-80 pack and achieved what i wanted to hear and then some, by just eliminating the IR's (keeping the full amp model, vs preamp-only). This was just more of a curiosity question, as i'm hearing what i want, just not via the route i expected.

I find that I get a better sound using a model of the whole amp, sans speaker modeling, when I go out to any amp’s effects loop. When I select a preamp model by itself, it sounds dull and lifeless. This doesn’t make sense as I’m putting a (modeled) power amp into a physical power amp. On paper it should sound worse. Is there some step I need to be taking when attempting to use a preamp only, out to my amp’s effects return? At the end of the day, I’m more than happy w/what I’m hearing using whole amp models, but I am curious as to how/why the preamp alone sounds crappy in comparison.

Yes, i know it's in the manual but i'm at work and my new computer refuses to open or download the manual. i'm going to be talking with an amp builder and he'll need this info to ensure my LT can switch the amp's channels. something to the effect of, "hot to sleeve" ...or something like that from what i remember.

i'm just looking to be able to subtract guitar or bass (whichever i'm playing) from any given stereo recording.

can anyone comment as to whether the stems function is at least on par w/Moises? better? worse?

i wonder if it was something that they were specifically aware of and addressed as such? i'm holding out for at least a few more updates. way too in its infancy for me. i'd liken it to a pre-mature baby at this point.

still doable with snapshots? i never assign a dedicated footswitch to the amp as it's done solely within snapshots.

I just noticed in a pic of the back panel that the stadium lacks the Amp Out jack that my OG Floor model has. Did they ditch this functionality with the Stadium, or is it something that can be assigned to one of the other outputs? I often use my OG as a dedicated, effects-only floor board, and to do channel switching on my PT15IR. I'm hoping the Stadium will allow me to do this as i wouldn't want to have to add a midi device such as Suhr's microMIDI Control, or the like. not to mention it would make upgrading to Stadium $120 more expensive, and it'd be another device on the floor.

Tell me if this can be done with Helix or H-Stadium: I’d like to send a preamp/power amp block (along w/other effect blocks) out to an external power amp into a guitar cab via ¼” output, while simultaneously sending the same signal chain, with the addition of a speaker block/IR out to the board via the XLR output. Due to the amount of effects blocks I’m using, I wouldn’t have enough CPU to create (near) identical paths on the individual A/B paths and give each path its own output assignment. In a perfect world I’d be able to assign the cab block to just the XLR out, but I’m pretty sure that’s not doable. And yes, this scenario may beg the question, “why” …which I’d rather not get into. I’d just assume mike the cab and send that to the board, but unusual circumstances have that out of my control.

appears to be more Variax-oriented, not for run of the mill piezos. i'll try digging around

From the guy in the video linked below, go to 6:45: "Here's a piezo into a 3 sigma Audio Taylor IR. I’ve found them to be as good or better than my Taylor 414CE-R running direct [ES2]." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfRc2F8H0uc&t=405s Does anyone have any tips for getting some decent faux-acoustic tones via a piezo pickup into an acoustic IR loaded into the Helix, like the guy in the video? I have a few acoustic IR’s that I’ve tried in my LT and they all sound dull and plastic-y, no matter where I move the sliders on all the available IR parameters. Unless there’s been a quantum leap of improvement in piezo pickups since the time my 2008 Parker Nitefly’s piezo was designed, and the piezo in this guy’s PRS? That said, my Parker’s piezo does NOT sound dull on its own, it’s all happening post-IR. My signal chain: Piezo into LT, then into IR, out to ProTools, out of my Mackie HR824’s. Tried adding a clean amp block to see if it improved anything, but it didn’t.

Longtime owner of an LT here. Live, I use it solely for effects, and to control my Suhr PT15IR. Up until now it’s been enough to do everything I need, but things may be changing. My new band has a few songs (and growing) that have acoustic intros and/or breaks, so I’m considering using my Parker Fly’s piezo system, and upgrading to a Floor for the added I/O that can hopefully make this happen (and hopefully tame the pesky piezo quackyness via an acoustic IR and EQ’ing, etc). The idea is to do it all within one unit, and not have to get into buying a dedicated acoustic preamp/stompbox, an A/B switcher, etc…and of course having snapshots for bringing my piezo in/out of the chain would be huge. My LT’s I/O is tapped as I’m also using an Eventide H90 in its effects loop. I would imagine it would be no problem for the Floor to receive/process my Piezo pickup in addition to my regular output, no? I’m also guessing I can send the Piezo’s signal out of the Helix via any available output jack? As far as inputting the piezo signal, would I just use an available FX loop In jack for the piezo, or something else? Most importantly, are there any cautionary tales in using this kind of setup from anyone who’s done it?

My amp's a Suhr PT15IR, so i'm going to assume its spec'd for pedals. it doesn't specify in the PT's manual, it only says, "tube-driven, buffered"

I'm using my LT solely for effects and controlling my amp via 4CM. Is this one of those "just use your ears" settings, or is one more ideal as far as selecting Line or Instrument for the Send/Return jacks. Manual doesn't really say (specific to 4CM), so i'm inclined to stick with Instrument level setting unless there's some good reason to switch to Line that i'm unaware of.

not to mention, it could be argued that due to all the updates (some quite major), helix is technically more like, 2-4 years old...as are QC and others.

i can't wrap my head around needing "hundreds" of IR's...and then auditioning through them. i hate when people say this, so i'm saying it with a bit of reluctance, but here goes- Just PLAY.
