MrCitron Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hello everyone, I recently tried the IK Multimedia Bias X application, which introduced an AI‑generated preset feature. I found it very cool for quickly getting started and crafting a sound for a cover, for example. Since I couldn’t find anything similar for my Helix Floor, I decided to build it myself. And here it is: https://github.com/MrCitron/helaix This is a very simple first version: you describe the sound you want, and the AI assistant suggests an effect chain based on real‑world devices. You can then chat with the assistant to refine the rig, and once you're happy with the result, you can build the rig into a Helix preset and export it as a file to upload to your Helix device. Hope this will be useful, any suggestion or contribution will be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCitron Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Make sure to download the latest version of the app. There is a bug that I will fix that prevents the "Test connection" button to work, before saving the settings for the first time. Anyway, if you enter your API Key and lick on save, then you should be able to use the application. Going back to the settings page after, the Test Connection button will work, and you should see a more complete list of models : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbehrens Posted Monday at 02:46 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:46 AM No problems getting it to work in Windows 11 using v 0.9.0. I have a JTV model Variax and a Helix Floor as well as the new Stadium. However, I found the LLM suggesting Strymon pedals rather than Helix Models. a full Helix Model selection would be more useful. And eventually specific Helix model settings would be good as well. It would make a more suitable starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And eventually specific Helix model settings would be good as well. It would make a more suitable starting point. Hi, actually, the selection of the Helix models is mainly used to compute the DSP consumption and use two DSP for compatible models. I have only an Helix Floor model and the Helix Native plugin, I am not able to test on other devices, but I would be happy to have users with other models doing some tests and or asking for specific features/settings. Regarding the issue with the Strymon pedals, can you send me a screen capture, or the json file ? If you have a Github Account, do not hesitate to raise a bug with the details, I would look at it and fix it with best effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
