Impulse Response (IR)
Impulse Responses are mathematical functions representing the sonic measurements
of specic audio systems (for Helix LT, speaker cabinet and microphone combina-
tions). Helix can load and store up to 128 custom or third-party IRs at a time.
Loading Custom IRs
Loading custom impulse responses requires connecting to the Helix application in
your Mac or Windows computer. The Helix application is available as a free download
from line6.com/software.
1. Connect Helix LT to your computer via USB and open the Helix
application.
2. Click the Impulses tab.
3. Drag one or more IR les from the desktop or any Finder win-
dow directly into the Helix app's Impulses list.
The Helix app updates the Helix LT hardware's IR list automatically. Helix LT can
load and store up to 128 IRs at a time. 48kHz, 16-bit, mono, .WAV type IRs of up
to 2,048 samples are natively supported. But the Helix app allows you to import
IR.WAVlesof dierentsamplerate,bit depth,length andstereoformat, and
the app will convert these attributes automatically before sending to the Helix LT
hardware.
• Go to the Helix app's Preferences to set the preferred behavior for importing
Stereo WAV IRs - there you can choose to import the left or right channel data
ofthele,oramixofbothchannelsfortheHelix(mono)IR.
• The imported IR is automatically shortened (or lengthened) to 2,048 samples.
You may optionally choose a 1,024-sample version from the model list to
save DSP, which fades out the IR halfway through.
