mikeolivercgp Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 If you’re looking for a solution to use HX Edit while “on-the-road” without resorting to hauling around a laptop, take a look at the various Windows 10 tablets that are < $150. In the accompanying photo, I’m using a NuVision Windows 10 tablet (8.5” x 5”) to run HX Edit that is currently priced at $125. https://www.amazon.com/NuVision-Definition-Touchscreen-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B071DW87JG 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuhajla Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Very nice, thanks for sharing. That's a great option to have to restore a backup in case of an emergency as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thark Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 This is likely a dumb question but how does it connect to the Helix? Usb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a Surface Pro that was given to me. Works like a charm once you get the fingers accustomed to how Edit works with a touchscreen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, USB (as would also be done if one were using a laptop). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0stenning Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 out of curiosity - have you tried the tablet with Ableton ? clearly it won't be very zippy but might support a few tracks if the plugins etc don't consume too many DSP cycles.

d0stenning Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Also.... anyone using Surface Go for Ableton? ( and / or Helix Native or Ableton ) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be reluctant to attempt that. There’s a big difference between passing parameter data between a Helix device and the HX Edit application versus the consumption of CPU to attend to the demands of A/D & D/A conversion and real-time streaming data capture that would be characteristic of DAW applications and Helix Native (I’m saying this as someone who’s worked for over 30 years in information technology as an application developer). I was only interested in having use of HX Edit in a small form factor that would ride easily inside the flight case containing my Helix Floor. Thanks! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
