Disruptr Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hi! I'm strongly considering getting the Helix Floor LT. From my understanding it comes bundled (?) with the Helix edit app, which is basically a software version of the Helix floor unit. But I also see that there's an upcoming Helix Native app that's coming out soon. So what's the difference? Is it that you can only use the Helix Edit app with your Helix floor plugged into the computer, whereas Helix Native is a standalone app I could use with my guitar directly into my Scarlett Solo audio interface and DAW?

Triryche Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Helix Native is a plug-in you would use within your DAW, it is not a standalone version. However, depending on your DAW's and computer's performance, you may be able to monitor the plug-in in real time with no noticeable latency. Helix Edit is a free editor for the Helix hardware.

rvroberts Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Helix Edit is not a software version of the Helix - it is essentially a remote control for the Helix with some saving and archiving added. (Backup) Helix Native is basically what you say - but I believe you will need your DAW to use it - the story seems to be that you can build a patch in Helix Native and export it to the Helix for live use. We suspect that the Helix editor will be redesigned to look like Native and will gain better archiving along with that.......... Whenever that is.........

Yes, Native will require a DAW or at least a plug-in loader to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normalmachine Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'm sure this has been asked plenty already but does anyone know when Native is set to be released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Yes, Native will require a DAW or at least a plug-in loader to run. At launch, but a Line 6-er has hinted that making a standalone version later is high on the list. I'm sure this has been asked plenty already but does anyone know when Native is set to be released? Okay, everybody has to take a drink again... no date has been set in stone yet. Beta testing is commencing and going well, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skisquash Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Is HXEdit consider a simple DAW and will Native work with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 No. HX Edit is not a DAW, it is an editor for HX hardware and cannot run Native. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
