Feature request for Helix

[govtmule]

Don’t know why it’s just occurring to me to make this request but here goes.

something that I would personally find incredibly useful is if the switching mode (PRESET, STOMP, SNAP, STOMP/SNAP, SNAP/STOMP, etc) could be changed/assigned per preset. Some presets I want all snaps… others I want stomp/snap. Not much missing from these devices but this would absolutely streamline my setup.

Hi,

 

”Don’t know why it’s just occurring to me to make this request but here goes.”.  

 

No - Neither do I.

 

This is a user to user forum. There are no Line 6 staff here and only very occasionally do they visit these forums - (See the “sticky comment” in the black banner stripe at the top of this page entitled “Welcome to the Line 6 forums”).

 

Also, they would appear to be rather busy at the moment with the Helix Stadium XL launch. (Note: I’m sticking with my Helix).

 

Oh, I really love this part of your comment - “Not much missing from these devices but this would absolutely streamline my setup.” - especially the “my setup” bit.
 

Very considerate of you to think of other Helix users, even though we are 10 years down the line, you think Line 6 would drop everything to streamline your setup.

 

Try posting your request over in the Digital and Modeling Gear - Helix  section on TGP, or the Line 6 Facebook page and see what happens there!

 

Jeeziz, I despair!

 

Hope this helps makes sense

I have a Helix LT.  So I'm in a band with programmed lights and when the lights go out I can't see my switches when in preset or snapshot mode. It would be great if there was another display mode that would show the dimmed LEDs that were not currently active. So when in preset or snapshot mode the up/down and MODE switches would be dimmed orange or yellow. While the non selected patch or snapshot would be dimmed green. So the active patch or snapshot would be the on red color that it currently is.  That way in the dark you know where the buttons are to switch patches and snapshots. Plus you would know which patch/snapshot is active. It would be great to know if something like this already exists.

A couple of things.

 

First, this is a user-to-user support forum. Nobody from L6 hangs out here.

 

Second, the Helix line is approaching EOL. There will be no further MAJOR updates, just bug fixes and maybe a new effect or two.

This is per L6 by way of the forums they are active on, such as The Gear Page and Facebook.

 

Third, the LT is the budget model. The full-fat Helix with scribble-strips solves those problems.

 

Lastly, the new flagship line, STADIUM, is on the shelves. IDK if it solves your problem but it's a major step up from Helix and certainly worth looking into.

Any new "features" requested by users in the various online forums (other than this one) are likely to be implemented there.
