Pitch Wam Appears Not to Function Properly

[syphus]

I transferred a preset fro Helix OG to the Stadium and for the most part it went smoothly (my simple EQ got substituted with the 7 band).

 

When I was testing out the patch, I noticed that my "Pitch Wham" block was getting artifacts.  The block is set to be a half step down and it seams to work on the lower freqs but as you run higher there appears to be "other" harmonic freqs being generated (not very musical).

 

The block is not working as it should (maybe they change it) - I actually used head phones to tune this (drop pitch)  Using both the "pitch wham" and the "poly capo" and they both seem to have the high freq artifact.

 

I'm posting this so if anyone else notices this please add your experience here to document.  I going to wait a bit before creating a support ticket.

Maybe it's me but so far I am not liking the tone these pitch blocks produce. Needs more work. Ttacking is fine but the tone is just not great.

I dont own a stadium hardware, but i know alll the fx are basically moved from old hw to new one without any algorithm changes. So i wonder how it is possible to have such kind of glitches when they should work as intended on new hw. Would be good if you can share the original helix patches so that other people can replicate and maybe to open a ticket with L6 support

I can share the preset - but for now I want to do more work on this before I sound like I'm crying "wolf".

 

Tomorrow I will spend more time on this . . .  I was quite satisfied with effect block on the OG helix for doing "half step" tuning drop . . .  Not so much on the Stadium.

 

I was just curious if anyone else had noticed a difference.   I will be setting up a better testing situation tomorrow.

OK... I'm back with an update.  There nothing wrong with the Pitch Wham.  It was user error!  I just did not isolate my guitar enough to stop the interaction of my speaker/monitors to cause me to mistake the guitar output from the Stadium.

 

Using Headphones and a little more volume (speakers) solved the mystery.  Under normal circumstances, I would be playing a lot louder that when in my studio . . .
