Karl_Houseknecht Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Why does the Scale parameter at 75% on the Mod/Chorus Echo and Vintage Digital stereo delay types behave differently than any of the others like the Transistor Tape, Adriatic, or Elephant Man at 75% scale? On the Mod/Chorus Echo, it's pretty much a straight ping pong delay. With the Tape, Adriatic, or Elephant Man it's what I'd expect: dotted eighth and quarter. Shouldn't the scale parameter behave the same across all delay types? While we're at it, why does the Dual Delay's chorus mode sound like a phaser/flanger and the vibrato mode sound like a chorus?

Schmalle Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 The Scale parameter works the same across the models. Their Feedback is different: some feed back their output signal, others the input signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl_Houseknecht Posted October 10 Author Share Posted October 10 Hmmm. That's...interesting. And the difference between the Line6 and Fractal delays, I guess. In Fractal land, the Scale and Feedback works the same across all delay types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Possibly the best way to find answers to these sort of questions is to invest in buying this handy dandy guide to the workings of Helix. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AndertonHX-e--sweetwater-publishing-the-big-book-of-helix-tips-and-tricks It's full of interesting information, including complete descriptions of Helix effects parameters Hope this helps/makes sense.

Karl_Houseknecht Posted October 10 Author Share Posted October 10 Not sure a book is what I need right now, but thanks for the suggestion. I've been a Helix user since before it was released. And for some reason, I'm just noticing this little quirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.K. fine, but I have been using my Helix almost daily since October 2015 and I still found things in the book that I was unaware of. Just saying. Maybe you could put a shout out to @craiganderton, and see if he is willing to enlighten you without buying his book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
