Helix

Helix is criminally underrated and deserves far more mention than it gets. The core sound engine + FX generate some of the most beautiful pad sounds I've heard out of a synth, hard or soft. It's crisp, not sterile. Of course, it can sound gnarly pretty readily, and can be coaxed into "phatness" -- although perhaps not in a "vintage" sense, and that's just fine. The breadth of sound-making options encourages me to explore new territory, rather than dwell in the sounds of yesteryear. Yes, the GUI needs a refresh, but I still find it sufficient. Comparisons to z3ta+ 2 may be a fair (and I own that one as well), but to me Helix is, sonically, on a different level.

i agree.. the sound on this is full and rich... i wish it were still being developed...

a little bit of a learning curve to get to grips with it's idiosyncrasies but that is so worth it.

Hi there.

"Helix is criminally underrated and deserves far more mention than it gets"
Oh yes, I totally agree (and yes, the GUI needs a refresh...)!.

I have most popular Synthesizer Plugins, in that case I'm a gear-junkie...
And Audjoo Helix is still one of my most used ones.

It can sound so great and its so flexible!
Try it!.

I totally agree! I used to use it loads on my hard trance tracks, it has a great timbre, much prefer it to serum which o think IS overrated. Helix has a strong digital sound but has warmth and fatness aswell. Ive made so many patches with it, used the beta version for a while, but haven't used it for ages since I switched to Mac OS X. Time to dig it out again I think.
