bueno, el release note lo titulan como "Missing link update" porque ellos entienden que están completando algo... ¿no?

I can answer that l, actually - it was us plugging holes in the amp list that have been complained about for a long time. We’ve been getting requests for EVH, Ecstasy, and Super Reverb basically since launch.

Hi DI,
already discussed that I know, but one can change ("old chesnut" is that expression correct ? (French speaker here).
Nam is open source and, with the benefit of hindsight, we can see various hardware Nam profiles player appearing.
I know your previous answer was an elegant "no". Anyway, does Line6 team could reconsider including a NAM player in a future Helix update ?
Yes, I know that NAM player would be CPU hungry... but could Helix run a NAM player ?
I mean can we imagine a NAM player module for Helix you could activate alone with only a few other modules (cab and not greedy modules). Thank you

Helix could potentially support a NAM player, but because we need to also run a bunch of effects and whatnot, the NAM block would need to be lower resolution than we'd be happy with. Sure, we could say "Hey, if you're okay with eating up XX% of your DSP, go nuts," but we're not itching to cripple our block allocation for bragging points. If the Helix/HX firmware/editor code for NAM compatibility just magically showed up bug free, sure, we wouldn't say no, but it's still work and for better or worse, we have bigger fish to fry at the moment.

3.80 is all models anyway, and not too many at that. (Told ya' it was smaller than 3.70.) Clearly the firmware and software teams have been working hard on a veritable army of new technologies and capabilities, but NAM might be a long shot even in those efforts. The problem with NAM isn't sound quality or accessibility, it's its inability for us to pivot that particular source code toward different avenues. If we're gonna do the work, we'd want it to reach beyond capturing amps and select effects. Perhaps even things we haven't dreamed up yet.

The best analogy I can think of (and it's still terrible) is that to us, NAM feels like the ability to import Akai CD-ROM sample libraries into NI Kontakt—sure, it's nice to have access to existing content, but is lack of specific existing content the real problem? I dunno, maybe it is?
