Building a patch in Helix: A Sound Philospohy

Hiya friends! It's been a hot minute since I've posted anything modeler/Helix related. Obviously, there's no one way that will work for everyone. But whether you're new to modeling/sims or you're unhappy with your process or results, I think it helps to know what other folks do. Hopefully this will help to inspire you to find or refine your process and philosophy for building patches and getting that sound in your head out to the people! Thanks for watching!

I just found your channel. Great walk-through for building a sound in modellers, rather than just twisting knobs at random. Thanks! And I hope your treatment is going well, too.
