~ Amp and Effects Plugin ~
Helix® Native delivers the power of award-winning HX® modeling technology in plug-in form.
Like the hardware members of the Helix family of guitar processors – Helix Floor,
Helix Rack and Helix LT – it reproduces the authentic sounds of vintage and modern amps, cabinets, microphones and effects.
But this plug-in’s repertoire is not entirely retro. Helix Native is an open sound design tool
that will inspire film / TV / game composers, producers and engineers, electronic musicians and anyone
looking for exciting new sounds. Preset compatibility across the Helix family makes it easy to transfer your
studio creations to your Helix hardware device and vice versa, and Helix Native also loads third-party impulse responses (IRs).
Peculiarities :
↬ AUTHENTIC TONE :
Feels and sounds like analog gear.
When it comes to authentic sound and feel, the Helix Floor and Helix Rack guitar processors represent a giant leap forward in modeling technology. Dual-DSP delivers massive power to accurately recreate the sonic characteristics and full dynamic response of classic and modern amps and effects.
↬ HX HYBRID CABINS :
A New Approach to Speaker Cabinet Modeling.
Helix HX Hybrid cabs represent a new approach to the speaker cabinet capture process. They deliver the same resolution and low-fidelity as a 2048-point impulse response or higher, while using roughly the same DSP power as a 1024-point IR. A choice of 16 different microphones and 23 recording distances provides additional sonic flexibility and real-time dynamic control. The Helix Floor and Helix Rack processors also allow you to load custom impulse responses, allowing you to further personalize your setup.
↬ EVERY AMPLIFIER COMPONENT CAPTURE :
Models that respond like the real thing.
With Helix processors, every stage of the amplifier circuit has been measured and matched to the original, so that each model responds and interacts with the turntable as expected. This level of dynamic circuit detail extends to areas such as power supply ripple, individual tube sag, and B+ voltage control.
↬ SPECIFIC EFFECTS COMPONENT CAPTURE :
Effects models with unprecedented authenticity.
HX Modeling accurately recreates the behavior of even the most idiosyncratic vintage effects by modeling their individual components. The Transtronic process emulates the behavior of virtually any germanium or silicon transistor diode, allowing you to faithfully recreate fuzz, distortion, and other pedals once considered too finicky to convincingly model. Throbber is a “virtual light bulb” that simulates the highly nonlinear behavior of the small incandescent light bulb and four photocells inside the original 1960s Uni-Vibe pedals that are essential to their unique sound and vibration. And the Bucketier chip and Panda circuit are virtual recreations of the Bucket Brigade (BBD) chips and compander (compression/expansion) circuits used in many old-school analog delay pedals. Accurately modeling the quirkiness of vintage analog delay pedals at the component level gives HX analog delay effects all their lo-fi grandeur.
Changelog v3.80.0 :
Helix/HX 3.80 (released November 19, 2024) includes 6 new Amps, 4 new Cabs, 1 new Effect,
bug fixes and is highly recommended for all Helix and HX users.

New Effect in version 3.80
Wah > Teardrop Bass Q (mono, stereo), based on* the Dunlop 105Q bass wah.
Bug fixes in version 3.80
Delay > Cosmos Echo was applying the same wow/flutter modulation to both left and right delays, making it appear as if the Spread knob was not working in some cases – fixed.
If Helix Native was left idle for many hours, some delay and modulation effects could stop processing audio until the preset was reloaded – FIXED. If Amp > Ampeg B-15NF’s Bass was set to 10.0, the model could gradually lose volume over 30 minutes or so – FIXED.
If Amp > Mandarin Bass 200’s Bass was set to 0.0, the model could lose volume over 30 minutes or so – FIXED.
Delay > Poly Sustain would sometimes produce a glitchy sound if the Random or Random Speed knobs were turned up to max – FIXED.
Other minor fixes and improvements.
Installation/Registration :
0.Uninstall the previous version. Clear “%APPDATA%\Line 6\” if needed.
Old license file name (V1): Purchase.dat
Current license file name (V2): PurchaseV2.dat
1. If you are using the AAX plugin, block access to the site “127.0.0.1 line6.com”. Otherwise you will lose your license.
In VST2 and VST3 the home call is already bypassed.
2. Install.
3. Launch our keygen.
