HLX View updated to support 3.0 presets

I have updated my HLX View app to display the new models included in Helix/HX 3.0 and Helix Native 3.0 which includes new amps, cabs and effects like: US Princess, Das Benzin Mega, Das Benzin Lead, Horizon Drive, Acoustic Sim, Poly Detune and many more.

The most exciting new feature for me is that now I can use 8 blocks on the Stomp, is perfect for adding a looper at the end without sacrificing a modulation o distorion in the chain. 

I haven't tested all the new effects but wanted to update the app right away because I'd like to check the new Artist Presets which are not available for the Stomp. This could be the right moment to add the functionality to load .hls files but that would need to wait until I'm finished trying the new sounds.

I have tested a preset with 8 blocks:


And some presets with new models:


This one downloaded from FluidSolo.

As always, this app is for my own personal use but I hope you find it useful.

HLX View updated to Helix/HX 2.90

I have updated my HLX View app to display the new models included in Helix/HX 2.90 and Helix Native 1.90 which includes new amps, cabs and effects.

Check it here: https://sensationnel-gerard-26922.herokuapp.com/

I like the name of the update: "The Always Level Presets By Ear at Stage Volume with the Rest of the Band Playing Update", but I dont get the level meters on the Stomp, I only get signal or clipping indicador on the input and output blocks.

You cand now use the HLX View to display your presets with the new models like the Alpaca Rogue, Revv Gen Purple or the new Split Dynamic node:





I would like to include new functionality like display stomp actions but I only use this app to quickly visualize and compare presets without loading them to the Stomp, which I think you should be able to do with HX Edit. This way I can decide if I would like to try the preset I have downloaded even from my phone. 

Another use for this app is to display all the parameters in one simple view, this way is easier to compare blocks, presets or even sharing your prefered block tone with others because they only need the value of the parameters.

As always, this app is for my own personal use but I would like to know if anyone find it useful.
