Hi I would like to propose a new custom type of output for Helix where the user can select any combination of outputs between all of the physical ones (checkbox style), how can I enlist this idea?

 

Custom Output: Digital Out and/or XLR and/or USB 1/2 and/or USB 3/4 and/or XLR, etc..

I want a second page of stomps. if i have 15 effects in a preset, why am i limited to 10 foot switches? give us the option to add a second page with the additional foot switches for on the fly control over every part of a preset.

 

im using my helix 4cm with an amp and would love to not be limited to just 10 stomps 

A second page of stomps would be amazing!  Jamband musician here, and sometimes the moment calls for a certain effect that I don't use too often.

Has the Helix matched the mighty, rare and pricey Zoom MS-50G yet, by way of finally offering reverse reverb?

 

Doesn't Line 6 even have some people onboard that used to work at Digitech? Like, the company with the best reverse reverb in pedal form?

 

Just curious...

It’s simply because the Zoom Multi Stomp MS-70 CDR is neither rare, or pricey I have one around just to patch into the Helix FX loop should I feel the need to use one of it’s many oddball effects.

 

The same goes for my Mooer DTP Ocean Machine that can pull off a couple of reverb and delay tricks currently not available in the Helix, including reverse reverb with shimmer.


Yep, AFAIK, Line 6 does have a couple of ex-DigiTech guys with them, who were the reason you now have poly pitch options in your Helix.

 

Regarding your comment about reverse reverb, obviously you have posted here, but as there are no Line staff here to see it and it’s only very occasionally that 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 it been seen by anyone from Line 6:

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. Only then should you use this thread to let other users know what your suggestions are, with links to IdeaScale, so they can vote on it if they wish.


You did do all that before posting here, didn’t you?

 

Also, have you tried patching in your “rare and pricey Zoom MS-50G” while you wait?

 

Just curious…

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Footswitch behaviour gesturing

Just look at morning star controllers as a good example...i have been doing this for other OEM guys in python but once you use gesturing its hard to go back

Eg

Single/double press/hold

Hold is there for snapshots. .good start but long way to go

 

Should be a standard set of gestures along with robust options (eg controller editor from ni)

Example of use

Snapshots area amazing but also block out other uses. Lets say you use a reverb and ill call them states

1. Default. 20% mix, decay 1s

2. Deeper, 35% mix 1.9s

3. Ambient 40% mix, 3s

 

As you can see these are fixed states, not expression pedal where its infinitely variable. (Multi state stomp)

Using gestures would work like this

Single quick click = on/off

Double recall = 1. Default

Hold = recall 2

Hold again, cycle to next (more and more effect), recall 3.

Hold again cycle back to 1. Default

Optional: double press hold cycles backward, i use this a lot on Ableton controllers

 

 

Cheers

I really would love if you could link instances of an effect/amp in presets to a "master" in the favorites folder.

 

My use case is:

I use my HX Stomp XL mainly in the preset and snapshot mode. So I have a preset for every song on our setlist and use different snapshots for different parts.

Many effects and settings are repeated in the different presets. There are a handful of basic presets that I customize for individual songs and individual parts. Customization usually involves adding more effects to the base setup. For me this is less stressful and far more convenient than working with the stomp mode. 

 

But (!): whenever I change anything in my basic setup I have to update every single preset/snapshot. This is just a big pain in the a$$: open up every preset / snapshot, do the same tweak in all of them and save them. 

 

If you would have the possibility to link an effect instance to a master instance, you only would have to update the master instance. If you'd then wish to use individual settings in one preset, you could simply unlink it and make your changes.

When using an external expression pedal I can engage or disengage it with the Helix's pedal button (toe switch). In this case, however, the LEDs above the pedal always remain red. Could it be done that when I want to use the external expression pedal (for example with a WHA) and turn it on with the toe switch, the LEDs indicate it? By lighting both for example?
