fabriziodalisera Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Hi, I am Fabrizio D'Alisera a saxophone player from Italy, maybe it sounds weird in a guitar forum, but I'm a user of the Line 6 HX FX. I am running a mic through a small preamp and then to the hx fx. I have always been a bebop oriented player, but lately I am experimenting nu things. I will get an expression pedal to use the unit to its full potential. What do you think? I have used a delay in the first part and a bitcrusher and a pitch shifter in the second one. Here's the link 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsieurkozo Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Hi Fabrizio, Happy to read it, my sax player also bought one and is very happy with it, I will send him your video! We are 3 HX/Helix users in my band, and all very happy (maybe we should be endorsed ;) ). Cheers, Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjbassoon Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I use it with my bassoon. The flexible of the Helix makes it a good choice for us wind players. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabriziodalisera Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi tjbasson, which effects do you use? Do you have a video or a track that I could listen to? I am curious about the application to wind instruments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjbassoon Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Most of the videos I might have are with me using a TC Helicon Voicelive actually, as I haven't actually incorporated the Helix into any groups that have gotten far enough along for recording. I have some recordings where I was using an M13, so a lot of the same effects. Look up "Art for Hunting" on youtube or here: http://www.artforhunting.com/videos.html (old website) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Nice bassoon! Reminds me of Soft Machine concert stuff....I love that. Having used both a Voicelive and Helix for sax processing, I find the Voicelive to be vastly superior when it comes to "smart" harmonies and octaves. Helix has better modulations, delays and reverbs, however. Here's a video example of TC Helicon's Harmony-M (just the harmony engine from Voicelive) on looped alto sax. Video is near bottom of page, sax starts at about 2:45. FYI, the guitar is an old Variax Acoustic 700! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
