How to use Synth and Note Generator

Hi,

 

I wanted to play around with the Synth features in Helix LT, especially the 3 Note Generator is really interesting to me. But these units are giving me a really hard time to get them sound good. With the synth I have the weired problem, that there are allways a few seconds with no sound once in a while. I don't know if it is not reacting to the input or some filter thats working in the background. It is also very hard to find good sounds with synth and note generator. I allready searched the web and youtube, but there are no real tutorials on how to use these things in the best way. Do you know where I can get these information from?

 

Thx!

Hi,

 

I have got a very BIG question! How can I use 4 OSC generator, or 3 note generator?

I mean, when I apply it, it plays only one note continuously and I don't know how to set it like in that video.
So I want to turn my guitar into synth, but I don't know how to set up those effects.

 

Sorry for my bad English, I hope you guys understand my issue!

The trick is to use snapshots to change the pitch that the generator is playing.  You can do this to create sounds to play over, but you can't use your guitar to trigger the note generator, as you would with a synth. 

 

If you download my patch, the link is in the description of the YouTube video, it is setup with snapshots.  You can just adjust them as needed, if that works for you. 

 

Also in the new 2.50 firmware version they are including the synth type effects from the older Line 6 units.  Those may be useful to you.  

 

The new firmware update should be released any day now. 

 

Hope this helps.
