[ROBALLUSUS 0]

Hi,

is possile  that line 6 launches an App to manage Helix Edit on iPad?

i dont own a computer, and to install News presets i have to go to my neighbour s 

appartment,

thanks

Line 6 is the only one who can make that happens, as they are using their own propietary protocol.

 

The standard MIDI implementation is pretty limited, but at least you can build your own MIDI template to load presets, replicate FS with buttons, change snapshots, control the looper, activate tuner, etc

Would LOVE to have an editor on my IPAD pro. Love how easy it is to edit patches using my H9's. Leaning over is killing my back!

 

 

Another cool option would to have a small hardware controller that you could plug in to the Helix allowing you to place it on a desk etc. Replicate just the buttons on the Helix.

Where can I get the app to use this/what is it called?

I think I know a way to do this...

 

I have a mac in my studio but it's a pain to stand up and do lots of work on it for long periods of time so what you can do is use a mac (or you can use a pc) and run the helix edit as you normally do.  while running helix edit, you can run either Teamviewer (or a competing product to team viewer) which allows other computers or an ipad or iphone to control your computer remotely.  It's a remote control program and it works great.

 

a smart phone screen may be too small but in theory should work.

The computer, Helix and iPad would have to be in the same room. What's the point?.

Sometimes I feel like an iPad, sometimes I feel like a Mac. ; )

 

Options are always great, so yes Id like an iPad app of Native/editor too.

I would also appreciate an editor on the iPad.
Now I can call the presets and some CC events with my iPad setlist program. (Songbook+ via Yamaha Blutooth-MIDI) 
A function that saves me a lot of tap dance. ;-)

Count me in, I’m ready to hook up to my iOS devices!

 

My iMac creates weird noises/artifacts when playing single coils - which goes away when I put it to sleep or turn it off. I feel sure the iPad wouldn’t do the same..

I just purchased the new iPad pro 11".  With the usb-c interface it would be awesome it they could launch helix edit for iPad.  It would be easy to get a usb-c to usb-a connector.  I ran my Firehawk fx off my iPad for a long time and this is honestly my only negative to upgrading to the helix.  I don't own a laptop and I have to bring my helix home to a desktop whenever I want to make changes or update.  I really miss the iPad connectivity.  If any line 6 people are reading this I would love to see this support come to iPad pro.

Be sure and also post this request over on "The Gear Page".

I love the stomp... but at the very least, why L6 didn’t make it w/Bluetooth capabilities to have the app option later on is perplexing.  I know my way around it, but it’s way slower than what a gui could be on a mobile device.

You do understand the protocol being used for communications is a high speed, highly dense two-way communication protocol.  This is why when you change a value in HXEdit it gets reflected immediately in the Helix, and if you change the Helix value it gets reflected immediately in HXEdit.  Not to mention the rapid enumeration and reflection of values as you move dials and such, or limitation on the allowable range of values for each given control dictated from the Helix to HXEdit.  Standard MIDI would never be able to accommodate such things because it wasn't designed for such things.  It was designed for simple control commands delivered sequentially.  Not exactly a great choice for tightly bound, two-way applications and hardware integration in the 21st century.

Yet this is exactly what was used for communication from helix to my PowerCab + for months before 2.8 was dropped. ; ) I don't think midi is "that" outdated just yet. Also, remember not very long ago the Line 6 Firehawk 1500 was release and its "only" editor is on an iPad.
