Well, after 40 minutes of playing around I have created something very different from what I would make in Gadget, Cubasis, etc. There’s a bit of a learning curve in moving things around on the piano roll, but I’m getting the hang of it. Is there any way to do scale quantisation on the piano roll? It’s not a big deal because my keyboard can do it, but I do like to see the notes available in a scale. Looking forward to playing with the automation and plumbing my sequencer (finally) into the big studio control surface. Great work.

Hello Mr. Paul. I am messing around with Helium now. I am not a very good musician, so I find H. useful to record my music and then play it decently. So I find the quantizing feature very useful. But I miss something that would be very handy to many people with sausage fingers as me. Could be added a percentage parameter that permitted quantize the duration of the note to the next measure? Let me explain myself. When I record my music from a keyboard, because I am not an accurate player, I have to adjust later the durations of almost all the notes to halves, quarters, octaves… and this is very time consuming. If l had a selectable parameter that allowed me to also quantize the duration of a note to the next beat division that would save a lot of time. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

If you tap on the Quantise button on the toolbar, you can select a quantise setting. You can also specify if you want to specify 'Note Ends' also. This means if the Quantise is set to 1/4 notes, the note lengths will be quantised to the nearest quater note also.

Although Helium works inside of Cubasis 3, I never thought the Cubasis editor was deficient enough to spend time making a tutorial inside of this app, whereas AUM really doesn't have any form of MIDI editor at all. It is just a case of balancing time between video production and development, so I will add it to my list.

Are you using inside of AUM? If so you either need to enable SYNC so the transports synchronize start and stop. You also need to properly configure the routing from each track in Helium to your AUv3 instruments. To do this you can select a track using the MIDI Track selector, then long press the Track button and set the output MIDI channel and MIDI port. This app doesn't work in GarageBand since it doesn't allow MIDI routing. Once you set up where each track is going (channel and port) you need to tap the MENU next to the destination instrument and select one of Heliums MIDI ports as a source for the incoming MIDI notes.

Paul, I’m getting into remote looping with long section loops but seeing some inconsistent behaviour. In playback, triggering a loop earlier in the timeline moves the focus with the snapshot loop, but triggering a loop later in the timeline does not move grid focus. Dragging the grid timeline past the current loop will result in a jump back to loop in focus at next bar, moving grid timelilne before the current loop has no jump back to loop focus. When not in playback selecting a snapshot loop does not move the grid focus at all. It would seem to me that logical / most simple behaviour would be to go to snapshot loop in focus at all times, especially when host stopped. I have auto-scroll on. Is there something I’m not doing right here?

Yes, there are still little inconsistancies like this I am working on right now. I just released a new version that does fix a lot, but you pointed out some things I wasn't aware of and will take a look at.

Hi Paul, I'm leaving this comment on all your Helium vids as I'd like you to read this and make a couple of IMPORTANT fixes! I just purchased Helium today (after some issues where Atom2 wasn't a good fit.) I have a song that is a swung 3/4. It's annoying that Helium doesn't have swing (I knew that before buying) but thought I'd just record my parts without quantisation. But it seems quantisation can't be defeated. And there is no quantisation value that will play my rhythm correctly, So helium is useless for this song! Helium needs swing. but it DESPERATELY needs a way to record with quantisation of required! Hope you read this and make a few tweaks! THANKS!

On further investigation I think the issue for me was actually that quantisation would sometimes correct my playing in the wrong direction, so rather than fixing my slightly out playing, it would make it slightly worse, whereas no quantisation would have been a bit sloppy, but acceptable given the style of music. I did try the triplet setting too. But I''l have another go with the settings you suggested.
