Helix's new Stringmodel and Arpeggiator (Mac and win32)

[poonna]

what could be better?

Bowed strings

How about a comb module (a la Zebra 2) then?

What's the difference between a comb module and a comb filter? Helix already has one, under the name DELAY/DLYFB on the filter section.

i think Jonas' string is a bit more complex than basic Karplus Strong
the arp speaks the language of pure love tho'

simple example of something slightly different than usual arp

I'm sure I saw the cpu meter move, really, I'm sure!

thats what i thought intil i disabled my antivirus

Heey, LFO Period finally appears! However because of the different measurement, I don't think it's possible to sync it to equal temperament pitch scaling? (It's still worth it though. Thanks for adding at least)

String model sounds nice. Will be using it soon.

hehe, i've got wrapped around with the scripting
again before i try it, is it possible to use fractional ticks?
any chance for a 'modulo' opcode?
or 'equal to' besides gt and lt
or mapping cc or some continuous output surface widget to a variable?

really, this already overnight became one of my favourite programmable arpeggiators ever

Great sounding synth, it will be interesting to see how this develops from the beta version.

BUT, I came across a PROBLEM running the synth in SONAR Studio 7!

Here's what happens: Helix loads and runs fine, however, if I save the project, when I reopen Sonar and load the project at a later date the synth crashes (i.e. drops out as if cpu load is too great, even though the load monitor shows only about 20%). I can restart the synth in transport, but it will drop out again. If I remover the track, remove the synth from the synth rack and reload the synth everything is OK again until I close and reopen the project when the same problem starts again.

Pity because this is going to be a great synth!

Regards.

I managed to blow it up to 20% on my aged XP2600+ ...




...that was with three oscillators, each in 16x-unison-mode, two filters, delay and reverb - and both hands on my master-keyboard.

b.t.w.: shouldn't it now be possible to create a Clavinet-emulation with Helix - I mean for a sound-designer who knows what he's doing? I tried it but failed miserably.

i cant get past 2% on my core2duo

i'm sure music sounds 15% better if your use more than 20% of your CPU

Get long release and EG morphing running along with the arpeggiator (damn, nice!)

NOW we're talking choke!

Yes, that works a treat!
