Helix Native - Tap Tempo Pitch / Global Settings

[elliotmoose]

I was wondering if the Tap Tempo Pitch is something that will be coming to Helix Native? I don't seem to be able to find that option.

 

I use Helix Native to power my live setup, and transitioning between BPMs while having a swell patch is something that I've seen some other guitarists with a similar setup struggle with.

Hi,

 

The information regarding the editing of Tempo settings (including Tap)  is covered in the Helix Native Pilot’s Guide 3.70 (Rev U) on page 36.

You can also choose the Pilot’s Guide from under the menu.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Thanks for the reply! I’ve read the Pilot’s guide, and it does not include a way to edit the global setting for Pitch Transparency specifically. 

 

For more context, there is a thread about this issue for Helix hardware pedals, but I believe this feature is not on Helix Native:

Hi, again.

 

Yes, you're correct - that option doesn't exist in Helix Native. and it never has. To me, it appears fairly obvious, that the smooth transition of tempo changed delay effects are going to be far more important in a live performance scenario - in fact mission critical to a live situation.

 

In a recording there will probably more time devoted to capturing a good "take", along with a DI dry signal that can be used to reamp, and also change as many things as you like, until you achieve your perceived/desired result. Tempo changing delay times in a recording situation generally requires a completely different approach.

 

Here's  a quote from Line 6 regarding Reamping - Why, How, and Why Not?

 

There are a number of benefits to this kind of scenario:

 

1. You can change the core tone of the guitar at any time: if you get to the final mix and the printed delay on the guitar track is too loud and the amp is too crunchy, reamp the track and turn down the gain and delay mix while you’re recording it back to disk.

 

2. You can punch into a solo or part that has printed effects at any time, even months later. Normally, punching into a part with a ton of printed time-based effects is impos- sible, because you can hear the punch point when the delay and reverb tails stop. With a direct track in the scenario, all you have to do is get the performance right using as many punches as you like, and then simply reamp the part using the same sound and setup. It will sound as if there are no punches at all, because as far as the reverb and delay are concerned, there really aren’t.
