Everyone Loves Helix - Hotone Ampero

Been interested in this product since it was announced awhile ago (still looking for a smaller backup for the Helix) and the videos sounded decent, but I just saw a screen grab of the editor...

Anyone else think this looks like a port of HX Edit? Starting to think these smaller Chinese companies don't even know how to have an original idea.

That kind of stuff has been going on since there were computers. The first Windows operating system sure looked and worked a lot like the Mac (or whatever it was called back then) Even down to an hour glass graphic instead of a watch/clock graphic next to the pointer to indicate it was still "working" on getting something going. Doesn't make it right. But the Chinese companies ain't the first to do it. I do see what you are saying though.

I actually like that too. Sooooooo....if Ampero can take then they can give i.e. Line 6 take that idea.

Same here, at least for the editor, and Native. I think it could be a nice asset. 

 

Everyone borrows ideas from everyone in this industry, and in pretty much everything else. 

Remember Behrin%$&?

There are only 12 notes in Western music, within a limited number of octaves, and only so many time domains. As musicians we should all accept the fact that we borrow ideas, techniques, melodies, etc from one another.  We were all inspired by someone in the music world, and a lot of it overlaps.

Yeah, and they made enough money from selling back-engineered stuff to buy big companies and now they sell probably the most used mixers for small-medium venues anywhere. 10 years ago, I wouldn't buy a Behringer practice amp. Today I have two XR18s, one for each band.
