MarkJarvis Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 HELIX, When will we get a new firmware update?? Seems this is taking along time?

cruisinon2 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 It's like "Groundhog Day" in here... Congratulations on becoming the 4,389,883rd forum-ite to start a "when are we getting new firmware?" thread. I bet this one turns out to be TOTALLY different from all the others... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAmartin Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I don't want to be the bad guy giving the unpleaseant news around here... But I've been checking TGP Helix Forum and it seems that the Beta Testers believe nothing will be released until December... Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willjrock Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 With "awesome" fx like stereo width, the least of my worries is when the new firmware is coming out. I dont think id go around tooting my horn about that one.I dont even know if id call that an effect. Id probably just call it a gift or a bonus or something.

PeterHamm Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 We'll get the new update as soon as you nail the Andy Summers tone with what you have now. :ph34r: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inerzia Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 DI said this block wasn't a new effect, but rather just a "utility block"... It would be nice if, instead of having to look for them on any other forum those kinds of announcements or hints were posted on L6's own forum. Sounds coherent, right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexKenivel Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 This isn't your helix, this is a forum. Plus, I don't think your Helix would understand if you spoke to it anyway. Furthermore I don't think Helix knows when its update is coming out either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunedinDragon Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I have it from a solid source that the new Firmware update will contain the one feature that will turn you into the "Guitar God" you've always wanted to be...so it's probably worth waiting for... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikah912 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It IS taking a rather long time. You know what is taking an EVEN LONGER time? Any substantial new content updates from pretty much every other modeling company in the biz! Fractal hasn't added a new amp to the Axe-FX/AX8 since around the same time2.20 dropped. And they don't have a 7 amp, 7 FX update pending, either. All Cliff has teased for their next update is a new memory Man pedal model and Darkglass B7K model - both of which we already have in Helix. I believe Kemper's last big update - delays - was around this time last year. Ask Amplifire users when was the last time they got firmware with new content. Headrush has had, what, one amp model added since they launched in the summer? Boss? Digitech? Zoom? ISP Theta? You can practically hear those names echoing because there's nothing but tumbleweed and crickets in terms of afterrelease content being added to their flagship products. Meanwhile, Line 6 has a load of goodness ready to roll as soon as the *&^!%!*%$##@!&ing new editor decides to behave and makes it out of testing. We're getting the best of it....trust me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdanan0121 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 December?!?!?!? Argghghgh, Rabble, Rabble, Rabble. :D On a serious note - Sure I have a few specific requests, but honestly I am just really happy that we have an update in the pipeline with 7 amps, 7FX coming. I am even more happy that it doesn't look like it will be the last one either! Question: I assume that the updates will be universal for the Helix platform. Meaning Native, will get the same updates (at the same time) as Rack, Floor, and LT do? Or are we still not quite to update parity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what kills me about these discussions...nobody knows, except the select few who ain't talking. It's never been any different, and it'll never change. Yet I suspect the same question will continue to be asked until the end of time.

cruisinon2 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Well I don't want them either...;) But I maintain that they'd probably be easier to get than the relentless request for "inside info" that has never been, and shall not be forthcoming...

Thurston9 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I actually like these threads. Get us all excited about what's to come and eventually someone from Line 6 pipes in on one of these with a teaser. December is not that far away and would be awesome!

vertibration Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Eh, I can wait. Mikah912 has a point. Other companies are not popping out upates with this much content. Im just hoping for Diezel, and EVH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willjrock Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Which is why DI said this block wasn't a new effect, but rather just a "utility block"... Ok well what i heard was that he said it was the least interesting of the 7 fx, so this is a little bit contradictory to the way youre putting it.

jbuhajla Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I am hoping the "utility block" is a single block that sounds like Andy Summers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
