Helium MIDI Sequencer - MasterClass #2 - Advanced Features

This is the second in the series of MasterClass videos for Helium. In this video we talk about more advanced topics such as multi-take recording, deep copy, applying scales, advanced chord track features, and adding your own MIDI clips to the clips library inside of Media Bay.

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Thank you very much Sir Paul 😊Always very interesting and informative videos

[@PaultheMusicMan]

Thanks mate, I almost think these are falling on deaf ears these days. Hardly inspires me to do more! lol

[@frankantalec7871]

Please stay inspired! My ears are not deaf, but they are ringing with anticipation and excitement. There is a lot of info to take in. These are very informative explanations and tutorials that help me understand how I can utilize all the options in your beautifully executed apps. I have one question in the randomization section … is there a plan to increase the options to include randomizing note lengths, velocities, etc. in the future? Or do these options already exist?

[@PaultheMusicMan]

@@frankantalec7871 This is a long standing feature that is in need of an update, and that will be the first thing to add. I was thinking that as I created this video, but to be honest, I didn't know if people really use the randomization at all.

All fantastic features; I’ve already used a couple of them, but great to be reminded. PS: can you explain what is the difference between using the chord track and simply entering those chords into the note grid? Is there some additional benefit or functionality to changing chords entered manually on the grid to a chord track? Thanks once again for a brilliantly thought out app; I use Helium all the time…

[@PaultheMusicMan]

I kind of explain the benefits in a couple of my previous videos, and it mainly boils down to users not having to know the notes of the chords, and if using Tone Packets the notes are physically sent as a single entity not a group of notes. This helps with starting and stopping arpeggiators and ensuring they all get reset properly. The choice is yours though.

How about swing?

[@PaultheMusicMan]

Long press Time Sig for Swing, you can do 1/4 and 1/8 note swing. I still have another video to do as I don't like going over 30 mins, so I will mention it in that video.
