NEW FEATURES
Snapshots – Helix Native now supports up to eight Snapshots per preset.
Drag block to clear – Click and drag a block signal to clear it.
Dragging an amp / effect block nudges neighboring blocks out of the way to allow insertion
Dragging a split / join block reveals insertion points between amp / effect positions (basically the same as previous behavior).
Split / join positions can be nudged from any direction at any point along path A.
IMPROVEMENTS / CHANGES
12 of Helix’s 17 reverbs appeared in M-Class processors and Verbzilla. As such, they’ve been moved into the new “Legacy” subcategory within the Reverb category.
Helix’s tempo no longer responds to pressing TAP at tempo lower than 40.0 BPM (Beats Per Minute). This is to ensure that multiple fast tap entries are recognized properly. You can still be saved with tempi down to 20.0 BPM.
BUG FIXES
If its Mid and Bass parameters are set to 0.0, the Cali IV Lead Amp / Amp + Cab model can sometimes exhibit a decrease in gain.
The Tempo Host Sync would be lost when reloading a session.
Pro Tools: Latency Compensation broken when Helix Native plugin is bypassed.
KNOWN ISSUES
Recalling an effect or instrument rack in Ableton Live with Helix Native instantiated.
Workaround: Uninstantiate and re-instantiate the plug-in.
When using two 1024 IR’s in a preset, moving the upper IR block before or after a pre / post split block can change the sonic character of the IR block.
The copy / paste clipboard may be cleared after closing and reopening Helix Native.
