Use Helix Live Recording Vst Plugins

Posted on by

The Helix Native plug-in features broad compatibility with popular DAWs, offering powerful 64-bit performance on AAX, AU and VST3 platforms. It also tightly integrates with Helix hardware so you can take your presets from studio to the stage—and back again. To use Helix you need a host program capable of loading VST or Audio Unit (AU) plugins. These plug-in formats are supported by all leading DAWs. Cubase, Sonar, Nuendo, Reaper, Ableton Live, Logic, Renoise, FL Studio are all examples of compatible hosts. Helix works with both 32bit and 64bit hosts. Equals not a gem VST. As I've heard on KVR: Most of the people releasing free VSTs are good at one thing, be it interface design or sound design. That means most free synths will either sound good, or look good.

How to Activate Helix Native

  • Download the latest version of Helix Native at http://line6.com/software/.
  • Run the Helix Native installer. We suggest you temporarily disable all third party antivirus programs during the installation. During the install, take note of the VST3 and AAX Plugin folder locations. If you choose to install the PC VST2 plugin, you will be able to choose your own folder location. On Mac, VST2 is installed at /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/.
  • PCVST2 only: Open your recording program's preferences and point it to the folder that Helix Native was installed to.
  • Start your DAW, create an audio track, then add Helix Native as a plugin (see below for links to your particular DAW).
  • On first run, you will be prompted to sign in to your Line 6 account to authorize your license.

Q: I can't find the Helix plug-in, even after following the steps in the articles above.
A. Possible causes:

  • The default VST3 folder on Windows is C:Program FilesCommon FilesVST3. Ensure your DAW has scanned that directory.
  • Helix Native is a VST Effect. When searching your DAW's plug-ins list, make sure to look under VST Effects and not VST Instruments.
  • Helix Native is 64-bit only, and therefore won't appear in a 32-bit DAW.
