Helium AUv3 MIDI Sequencer

Great midi sequencer. The only issues I have with it so far is sometimes notes get stuck, and I really wish the press/hold to audition midi sequences had a latch option since it hurts to keep holding to preview so many midi files.

Update- Randomising using a scale such as mono arp, poly arp, random etc. Selecting the “random” function in the randomizing process from the menu causes the app to crash consistently. It also crashes the daw using the app. Extremely irritating bug. Bug Report Update- Hey Paul, there’s a consistent bug that causes crashes the project every time, while using randomisation functions, if you move over to “random” button(after mono arp, poly arp), the daw just vanishes away from the screen, then restart is the option. Amazing work on the recent updates but didn’t wanted helium to having this irritating and fatal bug. Do check on this. Given that Paul, his health and mental fortitude is intact, This app is literally going to change the game and the rules! No paul didn’t give it to me, bought it. Had flaws, glitches! But the way Paul is doing things, this app is just unparalleled! The thing is uneducated musicians won’t know the potential it offers, Paul developed this for the ones who knows the game! Regards!

Desperately needs a "Scissor tool" to be able to shorten midi events but would make 2 events out of the one, or 3 out of the same one if shortened again. Thanks

I was looking for a simple enough yet deep enough MIDI sequencer to use with Loopy Pro. This one is just right for my needs… and with plenty of extra functionality under the hood if needed. I watched the two recent masterclass tutorials on YouTube from the author. They were super clear and helpful. Bravo!

I haven't used this feature in a while. It used to work smoothly, but now when I import midi files with more than one instrument (from Logic Pro X or Reaper) all the tracks are mixed together on track one. Is it because I upgraded my iPad?

This is a great complement to Atom sequencer whose pattern sets are similar to the remote loops in Helium but which are cumbersome to make act like Atom’s patterns. I use Helium to sequence Atom into full songs with Helium’s loops as cue points for live performance.

When grabbing and dragging around notes on the piano roll, the note kind of lags behind. It feels like im dragging the note by a string instead of the note selected moving right along with my finger. A great example of fluidity where there’s no lag moving notes around is beat maker 3. Sure you have way more piano roll options in this but it can feel a bit clunky when I can’t quickly / fluidly grab a note and reposition it without that laggy automation. Not bashing the app I just see this as an opportunity for growth. So far so good though thanks for the recent update.

Been using Helium for a year now, It has become a staple in my AUM setup - using the midi browser to trigger loops from my large collection of midi basslines, melodies and drums loops. Helium makes it easy to preview loops with minimal setup.

I’ve been using this app for about 5 years and it is better than ever. I use it frequently in my projects these days. If you need help understanding and using the app, good news - the built in help has been totally reworked and expanded and it’s great. Plus there’s a load of new features and fixes that have been added. The developer is very engaged and actively supports the app. There are some great tutorials out there, both old and new which can get you started or help you get the most out of the app. I consider this app a great value for the price. It’s got more features than some similar apps at double the price or more, but to me it’s worth it even for the most basic functions.

(No, you didn’t. ) I hit velocity, and the following behavior is nothing like what you demonstrated. I turn on chord track and it doesn’t make a difference. I double tap, or hold on the blank chord track bar and nothing is shown. Please, please, show us from absolute scratch , with nothing preset in your demonstration and at the beginning of the tutorial how to get the and add chords in the track.
