Helium AUv3 MIDI Sequencer by 4Pockets - Released

creativmotion

Hey Ecou, just tried this setup and worked ok, you can’t sync and use the media browser while the main play head is running. for example I will run a kick drum in AUM and then tap a file from the helium media browser unsynced, if I like it I’ll then drag it to the helium track and then press sync. When I am previewing files I am always unsynced. Also be sure you are using a loop in helium like in my screenshot.

When you tap sync make sure you tap it again to unsync, and it should be in time with the main playhead.

Question before buying Helium. From what I read, I should be able to preview my drum groove midi files. Can I preview the beat in time with my music playing in Cubasis ?

What is your favorite drum Auv3 to use along with helium?

Does that workflow work well for you to build drum tracks !

Hi Ecou ,

This is exactly how I use helium with my midi collections. In AUM for example, I’ll run 4 instances of helium for melody, bass, drums and rhythm into LK and out from LK to my instruments/drums.

Using the helium browser allows me to “mix” midi loops ‘live’ to create fills and breaks from other midi files, all recorded into LK. I then have a midiFX lane in AUM for pre-post midi effects to play with the LK recording. I end up using LK like midi tape recorder.

This whole setup gives me more of a live feel, I’ve added some screenshots if it helps.

I tried to get this running in Cubasis and Audiobus with no luck. When I click on a clip in the media bay it does not play in time with my song. If I click on sync, no midi is sent to Beathawk from Helium.

A quick question. How do you stack the midi processors (Helium instances) on top of each other on the left?

Hi Purpan2, you can swipe up on a channel if you’re asking about the fundamentals, as far as inputs I use midi ch 1 2 10 and 3 and route them to the LK inputs/outputs, My setup has changed a bit but here are the connections to LK:

Thanks a lot! I'll try that.

I had asked the following questions : Can I preview the beat in time with my music playing in Cubasis ?

You told me yes it is exactly how you use it. Now you telling me no you don't. Why?

It worked very well. Thanks for answering my stupid question. It makes AUM much more useful to me!
