Quite a nice design and sounds from the little bit I can tell. Would like to see loads more presets and a preset browser of some form.

Hi guys.
Which is the latest valid version downloadable of Helm?
As there are actually two working links:
a Helm_32.msi one
and a Helm_32bit_v0_4_0.msi as well.
Same goes for the 64 bit versions.
And how/where to set up midi keyboards in the standalone version? Not able to find it..
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Hi,
small installation issue:
I choose some folder in "program files" to install the vst, but it installed to "program files (x86)",
so I had to manually copy the dll.
(Helm_32bit_v0_4_0.msi on Windows-7/64)

Hey everyone! Just released a new version of Helm
You can grab the new version here: http://tytel.org/helm
Added some features including Audio/MIDI settings under the logo button and retrigger for LFOs.
Also fixed a bunch of bugs so Helm should be more stable.
Here's the full list of changes in version 0.4.1:
- Add Audio/MIDI settings page under Helm logo button
- Fixed occasional hang when using MIDI learn/automation
- JACK support for GNU/Linux
- Better MIDI default device connection.
- Reduced aliasing in sub oscillator a bit
- Added DC blocker
- Added retrigger to monophonic LFOs and step sequencer
- Added playhead sync to monophonic LFOs and step sequencer
- Improved portamento slide function
- Change white noise LFO to Sample and Hold
- Added Sample and Glide to LFO waveforms
- Fixed unintentional automation cancelling in some DAWs
- Fixed zippering when modulating some parameters
- Windows installer now puts shortcut in Start Menu

I had a similar issue in Cubase 6. Maybe try double checking that the VST dll is in the right folder.xenophobic wrote:Aww man cubase 7 64bit artist doesn't see it,and i was excited to try this one too

I absolutely love the modulation routing. The interface is very clear. This synth is a bit heavy on CPU, but still reasonable.
My only problem is I can't load factory presets in Reaper 32bit on Windows 7. Init and user presets load fine.

Because this also installs as a VST3 version, it will hide the VST2.4 version. You should find it in the VST3 folder "Synth".xenophobic wrote:Aww man cubase 7 64bit artist doesn't see it,and i was excited to try this one too
(Disclaimer: I'm using the full version of Cubase 8, but there's no reason why Cubase 7 Artist should be any different in this respect )
Btw, thanks for the Audio/MIDI Settings page for the Standalone And I think it sounds great!
I did get a life,once...but it was faulty, so I sent it back.

Hi,
some questions:
- What does the switch Unison-H do?
- Is Osc-Crossmod ring-modulation or FM or what?
- Is the Lowpass Filter 12 or 24db?
- How to set the Osc level to zero (if I want only the noise for example)?
