aleclee Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Frank indicated the other day (either here or TGP) that it was still on track for a "spring" release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhead Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 That's calendar spring. We would prefer to use solar spring for this: :D June Solstice in Calabasas, California, USA is onTuesday, June 20, 2017 at 9:24 pm PDT ... and as PeterHamm says we have to add a day just for pi$$ing them off.

twpmeister Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 IMHO if you say 'Spring' you get peoples' hopes up and fail to deliver as quickly as they expect since it has now been spring for quite some time with no release. It would be better to say' We aim to release by the Summer' then everyone is happy if it turns up before June 21. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twpmeister Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I got fed up of waiting and scored a good deal on an LT - maybe that was their plan all along lol. £719.10 including 12 months Interest free credit. Sounds great in the return of my Laney Lionheart (which also sounds great alone BTW) Happy days :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital_Igloo Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 This week I began swapping out POD Farm (and a few Scuffham S-Gear) instances with Helix Native on my will-never-be-finished record, so it's definitely working. We're in serious bug squashing mode and hoping to stretch into beta this week. The beta team is MASSIVE. Sadly, anyone expecting to download Helix Native on June 21 should probably curb their enthusiasm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're killing me DI, you're killing me! :D But seriously, would rather have a working program than just shoveling it out to meet a deadline. Take all the time you guys need.

You're killing me DI, you're killing me! :D But seriously, would rather have a working program than just shoveling it out to meet a deadline. Take all the time you guys need. (But hurry. ;)) Helix Native 1.0 is our top priority. Later, Helix FW 2.30 for Floor, Rack/Control, and LT will add new amps and effects and will drop with the new HX Edit application, which is a from-the-ground-up rewrite of the Helix editor that matches Helix Native's UI/UX. Helix Native will also be updated to Helix Core 2.30, and will continue to receive updates until its features are in parity with the hardware. (For example, it won't support snapshots right away.) Going forward, the plan is to update Helix Floor, Helix Rack/Control, Helix LT, and Helix Native at the same time, so they always have the same models and features. This has required a metric ton of fundamental architectural changes, but in the end, this effort allows us to release firmware and software (and future hardware!) more quickly and efficiently. It also opens the door to some pretty nutty things in the future. Line 6 is ALL IN on Helix. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the math as far as how much income I'm GUESSING Line 6 has received in the first two years of Helix, and I would think that the future is very consequential based on that. But moreso because it's obvious in my dealings with the Line 6ers that they, frankly, love doing this and are passionate about the music as much as the tools. Thanks again! You guys really do go above and beyond constantly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
