rickrussos Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 YES.... It worked. I did it a bit different than the video, I just reversed the amp learning process. I had the amp learn the switches after I programmed the Instant (lightning bolt). If you play with your amp and Helix enough you should be able to get it working. I guess the tech guys at line 6 should take lessons from Lan Eisenberg, because they said it couldn't be done. Good Luck guys! THANKS HonestOpinion I really appreciate it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurentJoulzy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Another one for those who want to use the Helix as a midi controller for external systems, like pedals or amps. During gigs, everything should be automated on preset or snapshot change. But when jamming, or looking for a sound, or if anything goes wrong, I'd like to be able to jump quickly to a page where I can easily control my MIDI pedals. http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Custom-footswitch-layouts/865069-23508 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0stenning Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Auto-Calibrate and Generate HELIX Global Eq curve using a measurement or other type of mic http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Auto-Generate-Global-Eq-curve-using-measurement-or-other-mic/865124-23508 Adding a way to quickly calibrate generate a global EQ curve by making the HELIX or the HELIX editor generate a swept sine-wave from 20-20Khz and then adjust the EQ curve on-the-fly based on what is being picked up by a connected measurement microphone, or known microphone such as a Shure SM58/ Neuman etc etc or even an iPhone or iPad mic - or the mic in a Mac - would be really useful. IK Multimedia sell such a room-measurement system along with a plugin is designed to be placed in the Master channel of a DAW - to calibrate a home or pro recording studio. But this is expensive. But a google search reveals that measurement mikes are available for as little as £39 ( from StudioSpares UK ) and these days its possible to just compensate for different mic characteristics so a range of mics could be supported 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laser Cannon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxAWX_afgA0 I have the edge activator and its pretty awesome, and it works well on acoustic guitars too.

richardantonelli Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Don't know if this was posted or not... One thing I hope that Line 6 will do in the future is not have to make the ext amp switching assignable to one of the switches. Storing the state in a snapshot or preset would free up the switches for other things. I use a friedman amp and while I can do the channel switching, I have to use up 2 footswitches to do it. I'd like to be able to save the ext amp's state per preset or snapshot and not assign it to one of the switches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdiddy5000 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Adding the ability to select impedance and pad the input on any on the FX returns and the AUX in would be killer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbuhajla Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Different colored signal paths depending on if the path is stereo or mono. Also handy in seeing where your mono blocks are since the signal path after would be a different color. https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Helix-signal-path-stereo-mono-indicator/867136-23508?submitted=1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdiddy5000 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I would love to see the unused switches in looper mode be assignable to a FX block. This would allow me to stay on the looper mode and have access to a lead boost without having to tap dance. An alternative that would also be useful would be to be able to assign necessary looper controls to stomp switches. In my solo gigs, I never have had need for the 1/2 speed or reverse controls. Would be nice to free up that space for other things like a boost or whatever... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiepenner Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/USB-multichannel-output-through-sends/871298-23508 USB multichannel output through sends The ability to assign the "audio interface" part of the unit to default USB 1,2,3,4 to Sends 1,2,3,4. The idea is to allow users to have their DAW output something like click, cues, and backing tracks through the Helix (USB 1,2,3.4) and out to the 4 Sends without the need for additional hardware and without taking up unnecessary real estate in a patch. This is sort of done now with USB 1/2 being able to be sent out directly to the 1/4", XLR, and Digital outputs. This would be an expansion of that concept allowing additional USB audio channels to be directed through the Sends as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncann Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I would consider the Mystery Filter an autowah also. Take a look at the Deluxe Flanger too, I think that's the one or maybe it's the Dynamix, which has an envelope filter, which can create a wah effect with a flangerish flavor.

wilkinsi Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I would really like to see an extra parameter for the SPDIF IN so it can be made to act like a word clock input on the Helix Floor. Likewise, I believe the AES OUT needs a timing fix, as I occasionally lose clock on the recipient device. I would also like to see Guitar to MIDI/USB added, so that Helix can be used like a MIDI keyboard for a soft synth. An FX block modeled after the Morpheus Droptune would be very welcome too.

Global reverb level. https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Global-Reverb-Percentage-amount/799771-23508 I upvoted it but I also added this comment; I like the general idea but maybe change it to a Global Reverb Compensation. I think that it should be a +/- 100% so that you can globally add more or reduce the reverb. The way it is now in your proposal, you can only add to the reverb (0-200%). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
