rudomat Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 why doesn´t turning off the last fx block automatically make the unit true bypass...? could that be solved via upgrade or is it technically impossible...? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsdenj Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 If you mean Helix, because the input and output blocks are never off, and there's processing required for VDI input. If you mean Helix FX, although the input and output blocks aren't visible, they're probably still there, and just don't consume UI space. So true bypass requires specific user input - although Helix FX automatically goes into true bypass if you remove power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Which unit are you talking about? The three Helix models don't offer true byass at all, but on the HX Effects and Stomp, the main reason is that it's possible to have all the blocks bypassed and still have other things likes splits and merges going inside the unit. So it might be possible to have it behave that way, but from what I understand it wouldn't necessarily be simple from the programming side.

olivierJez Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Do you mean that all the unused blocks I keep off for possible use, are affecting the signal ??? That's a big news to me and a definitive request. I don't see why programming wise it would be difficult, "If block is off then go to next block..." It should at least be an option in the global settings, true byPass or not.... I will have to review all my patches :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post is talking about how the HX Effects and HX Stomp are set to analog bypass versus DSP bypass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olivierJez Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Ok, My mistake. I got sort of worried for a minute (than my ears would not spot that i messed up the signals more than my signal being messed up) :) cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
