chasingMango Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 With the Helix Stadium announcement, is there any speculation that we'll see a version of the Powercab with a nexus port, or will Expand D10 be a long-term necessity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwandering Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I really doubt we will see a Powercab with a Nexus port, but that would certainly be cool. I will say I am disappointed that the AES/BEU isn't built into the Helix Stadium, but I'll bet the users of that are comparitively very few. I'm betting it is the long term plan.

rd2rk Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Probably not, but considering DI's reference to "Our loyal Powercab users", MAYBE they'll finally revisit the line and give us an update, maybe some more/improved speaker emulations? Not gonna hold my breath, but I am interested in whether or not the Stadium presets will support L6 Link control (through the D10) as the Helix does. If not, what would be the point of getting a D10 relative to the PC+? We'll see as more details are released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they had the ability to select a PC preset from the HX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they had the ability to select a PC preset from the HX. The presets are just speaker emulations in different combinations. It takes a second to set them up in HXEdit. I actually find that easier than remembering which preset is the combo I like. But yes, why you can't send MIDI over L6 Link is a mystery, along with why no Global EQ over L6 Link.

Wait, did he really say that, and what was the context @rd2rk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Yes, he said that, referring also to Variax users. It was in one of the intro videos while talking about the back panel I/O and how, to accommodate us, we could buy an add-on box called the D10, which will connect to the new NEXUS port and work with Powercab and Variax and also act as an 8 channel expansion for those of us who have AIs with optical ports. It wasn't "tongue in cheek" but it was definitely "roll eyes". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpspoons Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Thanks for that. I'm glad I don't have time to watch all the videos right now, I can't afford the GAS pangs (and being honest I've barely scratched the surface with Helix/Powercab anyway).
