How to Use Helm | Tutorial Walkthrough

In this video I'm going to show you how to use Helm. This is a free and open source software synthesizer plugin. It's a pretty great free plugin with a nice GUI. They do give you the option to donate when you download the synth. I recommend donating if you like the synth and use it often.

If you're new to the channel I make a lot of sound design tutorials, FL Studio tutorials, and various other production related tutorials.

If you're new to sound design and your confused about anything I'm talking about in this tutorial - check out my intro to synthesis and sound design series which should fill you in on the basics. Link below.

This is the best quick guide for this synth I’ve seen. I just wanted to know where everything was at and not go through all the fundamentals of sound synthesis and you delivered! Thank you!

[howlround]

you got my thumbs up at "I' Don't want to waste anytime auditioning these presets"

[Bumper]

Absolutely love this synth, it's my substitute to Serum, Surge is also good, but isn't as easy to use like Helm

[broken_radar]

Love this! Great tutorial and no wasted time. straight to the point! Thank you!

[whyhellothere]

this is my favorite vst, it's the only free one I've found that's easy to use and very customizable. others have limitations like you can't choose oscillators or they dont have an lfo, so I highly recommend helm!

[mariduf]

Great tutorial! I was wondering if you could do another one for the vst TYRELL, which is great too but not so simple than HELM to use. In particular the matrix section and the modulation part. I would really appreciate to learn from you more sound design. congratulations anyway.

[jimboggs]

Brilliant video, love the feature time-stamps

[philosophia]

Thank you so much for the very informative tutorial!

[rainbowstarks]

thanks a bunch! never used a synth before and already this is a lot of fun :)

[sergio]

Thanks man, nice and straight to the point

[francisjamie]

how did you get your helm to load so smoothly into fl? mine has the knobs everywhere!

[newimprovedjack]

I am wondering how you can import a voice track to mess with. When I went in it greys out the files. Is there a specific file type?

[kryt]

thanks man!!! this was exactly what i needed!!!

[purepulsetv]

Liked the video, commenting rn. Cant watch it coz its 4am and i dont want to wake everyone up. But im for sure watching this tomorrow. And with no doubts its a dope video. Keep up the good work ♡

[akcadt]

But we should use vital because helm suck at making keys and analog pad .But for sound design helm is best.And i like ur tutorial too .Keep it up👍👍

[kaseywarren]

Another very interesting free vst you should review is Dexed. It's based off of the DX7 synth.

[chriswintersdarkwaves]

Can you make a Slap house bass sound with Helm ????

[mileslane]

Going to be referring to this tutorial as I use Helm. Thanks!

[raghunathmahakud]

Is it possible  to stop helm upgrade or how to do immutable  config map using helm with kubernates v1.13

[kookle]
