One Synth Challenge #90: Helm by Matt Tytel (Jasinski Wins!)

[rghvdberg]

I'm seriously scared to let us run with my synth!

I'm gonna bitch about linux support

[Taron]

Uhm, oh, yes, you will...
...however, if you know how to build it in linux, I could give you the source files and we could try compiling a version!?

I have no idea, depends on the code.
but let's not hi-jack this thread
I'll pm you.

Hi, here is my entry:

https://soundcloud.com/user-142714953/g ... rror-osc90

Made with Ableton Live 9.7b3 64 bit, Windows 10.
7 EQ8, 1 EQ3, 1 Autofilter, 3 Convolution Reverb, 1 Softube Saturation Knob, 2 D16 Group Frontier Compressor (nice freeware compressor), Ableton Reverb + Delay (return track), 1 GlueCompressor on the master. I hope that's allright, it is my first entry in OSC.

Had lots of problems with this. Live crashes every time when opening the project, so I gave up after the fourth session. I could not open the saved set, I had to copy every single track in a new set, but after the fourth or fifth track Live crashes again, after three or four restarts finally got all the tracks together. After that, it's working fine (ok, two times it crashes when I want to save). Nice synth, but too much hassle.

Congrats on your first entry.

I have the similar issues with live hanging, generally after a save or reloading the project.
I tend to save different version as I go along (usually per session) so I can generally go back to a version.
Just had had it crashing on load this morning all the time and none of the versions would load even from reboot of live luckily a machine reset fixed it
I'm guessing Live caches some info about the vst's.
I know sometimes Lives Indexer executable hands about on a crash, always good to check in task manager se if that is still hanging about before restarting live.

I think it is possibly causing memory corruptions as it hung my motu 128 midi interface dll driver.

Nice synth, stability apart, loads of wacky modulation possibilities .

Does nice Robot vocals.

Impressive tracks so far.

Sadly, I can't get any sort of stability with Helm in FLS 12.3 64 bit. I get up to about 3 or 4 tracks and it just hangs. Normally while auditioning different presets, but sometimes when just playing through a loop.

My PC is a beast, so stability is pretty clearly something between Helm and FLS.

Gonna sit this one out.

Peace,

Hey all,

I just wanted to give you a hint and mad props to Matt for this feature... self-modulating envelopes! I was trying to get a more exponential curve for decay and realized I can just modulate the decay time with the envelope itself, this leads to a LOT of shaping possibilities. Hella cool! Now if only I have time to actually work on a track, and not just a kick drum...

[jasinski]

Z. I figured that out too. Should have thought about sharing it. It's a very cool feature Matt.

And Z, your kick drum is your track.
