This morning I wanted to make some non-guitar sounds for a bit, so that meant delving into some of the dustier parts of the helix - the legacy synth section. In here, my favourites are the Attack Synth and the Octi-Synth - do any other modelers have the variety of synth based tones that the Helix offers? Have I missed one?
Please leave a comment if you find this type of preset build useful, so that I know to keep making them!

I've decided to make it possible to grab both my Helix/HX Stomp bundles (the expression bundle with freeze presets has always been separate) together for £5 - www.paypal.com... - I will then email you a link to both bundles!

Thanks for shining light on a hitherto neglected corner of what this amazing machine can do - great sounds!

@TLMuse Год назад

That attack synth patch in the intro, and your choice of lines and phrasing, reminded me a bit of Pat Metheny's synth work on "Are you going with me?". Nice! -Tom

love the Helix, using some great synth sounds. this is a great video! Im running my Chapman Stick through the Helix... I can run both melody side and bass side of the Stick through the Helix. I have a synth on both sides. This video REALLY helped me dial in some Joe Zawinul lead synths tones and some great pads!

The poly effects beebo has a bunch load of synth modules, step sequencer and a looper ofcourse.

Interesting stuff as always! The HX family do have some very usable mono synth sounds. I've had some better results using a Boss SY-200 in one of the HX Stomp's fx loops, great for putting some pads behind the guitar as well as fat lead sounds. I'm now playing around with a Boss SY-1000 now, which is a very capable modeller even though it focuses mainly on the synth stuff. BTW I now have a SY-200 for sale if anyone in the UK is interested.

This sounds awesome

@canyondepths Год назад

I've been using Jam Origin's MIDI Guitar 2.0 plugin for a few years now. You can play chords with it. It is a plug-in, that allows you to play software synths in your DAW. It tracks OK. Usually I have to go back and take a few minutes to edit/clean up the MIDI tracks it generates from my guitar playing.

@johnnathancordy Год назад

Midi Guitar 2.0 is awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing what they cook up in the new release!

@Art-zs6sl Год назад

I really like the EH Key series. K9 is so much fun.

@lchown1813 Год назад

Maybe the next step for Line 6 is a combination of the Helix plus a bigger synth presence, otherwise where will they go from here....I look forward to that marriage. I always look forward to checking out your Helix patches. I'm sure you are going to reach critical mass with the Helix in the not to distant future, but for now it's still interesting. I really enjoy your little musical excursions at the beginning of some of your vids....The" Dial In Neo Guitar Sounds" one, and the "You Need this Joe Bonmassa and Eric Johnson Inspired Tones" and the "Friedman BEOD- Best Marshall Tones" intros you did were great and I am using them for practice all the time lately....Thx!

John, could you do a video on how to get good/authentic sounding Bass Guitar tones from a regular guitar by using an HX Stomp and other Modelers? There's going to be a good natured battle between bassist, Charles Berthoud and guitarist, Bernth who made his guitar sound remarkably Bass-like by Pitch Shifting his guitar and running it through a Bass Plugin. Can we get such realistic Bass sounds directly from our Modelers? Thanks

@omegasunn Год назад

So I wanted a synth pedal, and was also looking at a new distortion and some different reverbs too. All the while thinking of how I'd route it all and what switcher I'd need to get to prevent me tap dancing all over the place! Now I'm thinking just to get a HX STOMP! Thanks for the great videos. I have been putting off getting a modeller as I feel learning to use it will be a bit daunting, but this unit could clear a lot of my current board AND prevent GAS (at least for a little while!).

@GJSolo Год назад

Is there enough DSP to split your signal and use a Soft Synth ➡️ Vol Pedal ➡️ Delay/Verb to create a pad behind a clean guitar?

@theSpiritofSeep Год назад

Hey my friend! Fantastic! How did you get that beautiful synth sound you shredded with in the beginning?

@rajanchelliah8675 8 месяцев назад

Does your Gum road General pack have these synth tones? The're absolutely gorgeous

@JamesJLaRue Год назад

Since these are in the legacy area, if all I wanted was the synth block stuff, would the M5 do all the sounds in the HX Stomp? Or is there anything other than what was in the legacy products?

@timjx3675 Год назад

Which synth model matches the VH Jump synth ?

@GabrielFingolo Год назад

John, is there any chance you get back to make boss gt1000 core videos again? got one recently,and there is not much interesting content! Alredy managed to get good tones, but there i think it's a very needy comunity (very different from helix)

@vio4jesus 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. I do not think the tracking in the Helix is as good as the Axe Fx is. Also.... for foot switch generated notes; I wish you could add an LFO or something to modulate it a little over time to give it a more live feel.

@iambear.6526 9 месяцев назад

Does it have polyphonic synth options?

@GrantFunkyFrabe 7 месяцев назад

I'm pretty sire they do. But if not, you can always add a block like smart harmony yes.

@vg99 Год назад

The best guitar synths in the modelling world are still the ones from Roland 1) The VG 99 - still the king 2) The GR 55 3) The SY 1000

@shitmandood Год назад

But aren't they discontinued??

@vg99 Год назад

The SY 1000 , GR 55 and GP 10 are still in production. The SY 1000 introduced three years ago is their flagship product

@shitmandood Год назад

@@vg99 Strange considering you never hear anything about them anymore. I could've saved $1300 if I'd just bought an HX Stomp. Instead, I bought a Jamstik for the synth stuff, a Bias Mini for my amp head, and a Plethora X5. Had I bought the Stomp instead, I wouldn't have needed all of that.
