Made With Helm

dp69

A tonal counterpoint exercise for four instances of the Angelina VST synthesizer. Fake choral music. :)

Coral

A meditation/soliloquy. One synth (u-he ACE), one preset (HS Softly Centred Squares), one track in Bitwig 1.1.9.

The Soft Center

Something to show off Matt Tytel's new Helm synthesizer for Linux. Helm has the lead line, accompanied by u-he's ACE, TAL's NoizeMaker, Loomer's Aspect, and a single bass drum sample. 

Helmic

All sounds but the drums were made using the free soft-synth Helm.

Helm Is Deep

Three pieces demonstrating VST plugins created with Rory Walsh's Cabbage, an environment for developing Csound-based instruments and audio processors. Martin Eastwood's MVerb was used on one track, otherwise all sounds heard in these pieces have been synthesized and processed by Cabbage plugins, with no samples. Most (all?)of those plugins are instruments and effects processors designed by Iain McCurdy. 
These pieces were created and rendered with Bitwig 1.2.0 (beta) for Linux, on Fedora 21 with the Planet CCRMA additions. Vast thanks to all the developers who have made such amazing software !

Section descriptors :
1. Sunday morning, waking/dreaming/waking and dreaming again.
2. Sebkha-Chott patiently teach GWAR how to tune their instruments and play simple melodies correctly.
3. An imaginary fretless bass daydreams of 50s Darmstadt stardom, then it all somewhat sadly and totally tonally fades away.


Cabbagenic

I discovered the open source synthesizer Helm the other day and started playing around with this flexible modulation beast. It's in beta but you should definitely check it out. This song is a little something I came up with using a few instances of Helm v. 0.5.0. It's only Helm. No automations or external effects except for hi passes cutting out frequencies in the 20-30 Hz range on the chord and the arpeggiator tracks. Oh, I used a limiter on the master to prevent clipping.
