Description

Helium is a lightweight AUv3 MIDI sequencer plugin designed specifically for AUM. It supports up to 16 tracks of unlimited length with the ability to direct output to 16 channels on up to 16 MIDI output ports.

One of the great features is the ability to import and maintain libraries of MIDI clips using Helium's 'Media Bay'. These clips are freely available all over the internet and may contain individual chord sets, chord progressions or drum tracks. You can quickly build a song by dragging and dropping your MIDI clips from the media bay onto your timeline. You can also save your own clips directly to the media bay to create your own personal MIDI clips libraries. Long press on a clip to preview its contents using the currently selected MIDI device.

Helium now ships with a library of over 7000 MIDI clips, consisting of every chord and chord progression you could ever need.

Helium allows many different ways to import additional MIDI clip libraries. Simply drag and drop your ZIP collections directly to your PC/MAC web browser and they are automatically unpacked into the clips library folder. You can also drag and drop files between the Media Bay and the iOS Files app.

Helium supports a sync mode called 'Remote Looping'. This was something we recently introduced into our MultiTrack Recorder plugin and is very useful for breaking down the timeline into sections.  You can define up to 12 loops which can be used to specify the locations of say the intro, verse, chorus, and outro within your song, then trigger these loops seemlessly in sync with the host tempo. Once captured, these loops can then be triggered by incoming MIDI notes.

A new addition to Helium is the ability to piece together loops into songs, so you just concentrate on creating a single verse, chorus, bridge etc. and piece everything together without the headache of having to re-arrange your timeline.

What’s New

Version 1.39

v1.39

Added a preview button to the Chord Definition window. Press and hold to preview a chord using current settings.
Fixed an issue loading custom layout templates using the Layout editor (rather than long press GRID).
Added a 'Set Defaults' button to the Custom Layouts window.
Added a new Tone Packets video link in the help manual.
Added a new divisions option to the Chord Definition window.
Fixed an issue with anticipation set on Tone Packets when looping is enabled.
Tidied up the layout editor.

v1.38

Added Tone Packet support.
Added a new Chord lane which can send MIDI chords and Tone Packets on a per track basis.
Added lots more scales (using Tone Packets definitions).
When a scale is enabled, the editor now shows horizontal lines of differing colours to match the selected scale.
Improved copy/paste/duplicate that allows selection of a block of notes so that can paste leading space.
Simplified Deep Copy and Deep Paste to use the same method and not relying on loop settings.
Removed the replicate option as it is no longer needed.
The controller selection menu can now be edited to include only CC items you wish, as well as being able to rename them.
You can do this by selecting Edit Controllers from the Settings page in the main menu.
You can also load and save CC templates from the Edit Controllers toolbar.
The Track selection menu now contains the track name and color.
Modified the Mixer so that it is not so cramped on the iPad and increased the fader length.
Moved the Mute and Solo buttons to the bottom of the mixer and allowed a line for each rather than cramming both onto a single line (iPad only).
Added an option to configure and enable the Chord lane for a track (long press Track button).
Added a snap to 'End Notes' to the Grid toolbar which is ON by default. When turned OFF you can freely resize notes quantized to 1/256th notes. You can't be resize a note to less than 1/128th in length,
Added the 1/16 and 1/32 grid lines when zoomed, and made high contrast grid the default.
Added an about box with version number to main menu.
Fixed an issue where long pressing on some toolbar buttons would leave the button highlighted.
I now only adjust the loop boundaries after you finish setting a loop. This means resizing or moving a loop only repositions the play cursor once and not continually when dragging a loop. If a loop changes in size or position (during host sync) the play position has to change accordingly, but this only happens after you set the loop.
The mixer now retains its position between opening and closing during as session.
The mixer now cannot be accidentally dragged by clicking on or between the mute/solo/fader objects.
I have now allowed double the zoom level to help with shorter notes.
The controller lane now allows copy/paste/duplicate of leading space in the same manner as the note editor.
Duplicate no longer closes the toolbar, allowing successive duplicates.
The Mixer 'Mute' and 'Solo' buttons are now square buttons in the mixer.
You can now set/reset multiple mute/solo Mixer buttons (iPad only) by TAP, HOLD and DRAG.
Fixed an issue where the clear button was not always visible in track name popup.
Default CC template is installed on first launch.
Fixed an issue with the static and scrolling menus which caused a menu to be opened without content if you open and close quickly.
Increased the safe touch area around the transpose buttons. You cannot dismiss this without having to tap well outside the button array, but this cannot be any bigger due to the iPhone display size.
Fixed the grammatical error on the 'Explicit Timestamps' prompt.
When editing in the controller lane, and in selection mode, the TOP half of the controller lane now allow selection only, the bottom half allows editing.
Fixed an issue where swiping down on some buttons with the blue chevron leaves the button in the wrong state (iOS 17 bug).
Added a new video link in the help manual.
