Helix Native delivers the power of award-winning HXTM Modeling technology in a plugin. Like the hardware members of the Helix family of processors—Helix Floor, Helix Rack, and Helix LT— the Helix Native amp and effects plugin features the authentic sounds of vintage and modern amps, cabs, mics, and effects. But this plugin’s repertoire isn’t strictly retro. Helix Native is an open-ended sound design tool that will inspire producers and engineers, film/TV/game composers, electronic musicians, and anyone else seeking exciting new sounds. Preset compatibility across the entire Helix family makes it easy to transfer your studio creations to your Helix hardware device and vice-versa.

• Mac or PC
• AAX, AU, and VST3 platforms
• Intuitive, player-friendly user interface
• More than 300 authentic amp, cab, mic, and effect models
• World-class polyphonic pitch-shifting effects
• Preset compatibility with hardware Helix devices
• Favorites and User Model Defaults for fast access to your favorite sounds
• Supports third-party impulse responses (IRs)
• Process any instrument or voice—not just guitar

AUTHENTIC MODELING
HX modeling digitally mirrors the circuitry of analog amps and effects, component by component. Every model sounds and feels realistic, including such notoriously hard-to-model devices as vintage fuzz and modulation effects. Simply put, the Helix Native plugin nails the analog vibe.

SEAMLESS WORKFLOW
Preset compatibility across the entire Helix family lets Helix hardware users bring their studio sounds to the stage, or transfer their stage sounds to their DAW.

INTUITIVE INTERFACE
Helix hardware processors boast the most player-friendly interfaces on the market. Helix Native brings the same intuitive design to your DAW. You can instantly access your entire signal chain and quickly tweak your settings via a single screen. Helix hardware users will instantly feel at home.

IMPULSE RESPONSE (IR) SUPPORT
Like hardware Helix devices, the Helix Native plugin supports third-party speaker cabinet impulse responses. That means greater tonal flexibility and more ways to personalize your sounds.

SNAPSHOTS
The Snapshots feature lets you create up to eight variations within a single preset and seamlessly transition between them. Enable and bypass effects blocks, change amp and effects settings, and much more—all within the same preset.

ENDLESS OPTIONS
Adding the Helix Native plugin to your DAW offers countless new sonic possibilities. You can have multiple instances of Helix Native, limited only by your computer’s CPU. It’s easy to apply Helix effects to vocals, drums, virtual instruments, or anything else. © 2020 Yamaha Guitar Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
