Helix 3.1?

[Madmax25]

Agreed, except they could have created a release candidate yesterday (after DI posted here), which is being checked out now and could be released tomorrow.

I live in hope.

No, you live in fantasy land...

Is it possible to share the instructions?

I'm just here waiting for more 3.1 news. Not been any teases in a while.

FWIW, this did not fix the issue for me on a M1 Macbook pro running MacOS 11.2.2. Guess I'm stuck waiting for official Big Sur support. Still, really appreciate the information, DanRad!

Sorry it didn't fix your problem. Strange how it works just fine for some people and not for others.

Quick question: Will Helix 3.1 continue to support guitar players with chops well below 2.0?

Quick question: Will Helix 3.1 continue to support guitar players with chops well below 2.0?

Sadly not. On detection of weak chops you will be prompted to send your unit to guitar sanatorium where the units talk in chair circles about you doing the 1395th attempt to play Stairway to Heaven (and failing at that). You will be compensated with a triangle for that.

Quick question: Will Helix 3.1 continue to support guitar players with chops well below 2.0?

AFAIK Helix is backwards compatible to the first beta release 0.11b aka, "smoke on the water"

It better, because my chops are still in pre-release beta!

 

[Lady Gaia]

So long as I have company in the pencil-sketch-on-a-napkin stage? I'm good.

I'm also coming to terms with the news that Stomp XL support was not predicated on the 3.1 development train, but that somebody evidently knows better than that and forked 3.0x to ensure that hardware could get out the door without software adding risk. It's like they know what they're doing, even when what they're doing isn't 100% focused on fulfilling my every whim. Expectations have been reset, with anticipation of flight metaphors in the not too distant future.

When Frank, or someone else from Line 6 starts talking about 'Flight 3.1 on approach to land' then you can bet it is days away.
Until then it is measured very loosely in months.

 

[Jackellerby]

I miss Frank and his planes

 

[pezib]

with the benefit of hindsight, look what Line6 offered from the launch of Helix :

amp models

effects models

cabinet models

I remember those early days. I pre-ordered and was so excited to get the Helix. Now I'm excited to get updates.

can you pm me your pre release beta chops... I can't find them in my HXFX.

I jumped the Helix wagon in January '21and had a HD500 before (since 2011). I took and take all of what we have for granted. I guess seeing this from the perspective of an early adopter must be really exciting.

I was so bummed that they never released free updates for the HD500. Just 3 amp packs that alltogether were 1/5 of the HD500's initial price and had 0 new cabs for rock players. (My biggest gripe regarding the HD500 to date).l

So having all this new stuff is just awesome. And I don't need to hope for new cabs bc of IR ;-)

The lack of updates & ongoing support for my HD500 is what kept me from buying a Helix. I have an HX Effects now, however.

Thank you, I will try it tonight.

It worked like a charm, thanks again DanRad

It had that effect for me, too. Yet the other manufacturers did not appeal to me. Kemper was in my thoughts, but I either would have gotten a Rack/Toaster and had to buy a footcontroller or the Kemper Stage and would still need another pedal for wah sounds. It was until now when my wife asked me "Why the heck are you stomping your feet that much in the attic???" "The buttons on my HD500 only work like every 4th time" "Okay, buy a Helix ffs"

 

[MIJLOVER]

Helix is just in totally different price basket, and having the different SKU's means even the cheaper units in the line can get updates that would otherwise be unfeasible.

I'm very satisfied with the way Helix has matured with great new functionality and content. I was always satisfied with the HD Bean because I never expected new stuff from it for the price.
