Another Update To Helium From 4Pockets

https://thebeatcommunity.com/

4Pockets have released the second update for Helium within 3 days, currently available for $12.99.

What’s new in version 1.42:

Improved look of Chord Definition dialog, with better controller naming. You can now select a 4Pockets App and you will be prompted with the parameters that can be controlled for that app.
Added support for RingsFX controllers in chord track (require Rings update).
Better selection of overlapping song and chord parts.
Improved ‘Notes to Chords’ which quantises note start positions to ensure minor shifts in notes are permitted. However it will only convery block chords.
Fixed the issue where the Edit icon in the controller lane ends up with the ‘Add Chords’ label.
Long pressing on a chord/song part within the size area now still opens the Chord Definition dialog.
Deep Copy/Paste now work with the chord track. When pasting a single channel only the LOCAL chord track is pasted, when pasting all tracks the GLOBAL chord track is also pasted. NOTE: Long press the main Clipboard COPY button to create a DEEP copy, and long press the PASTE button to paste a DEEP copy. This is different from a normal copy/paste which only copies the notes. A DEEP copy copies controllers and chords.
Added the ability to plot a chord track as a ghost track in the editor (for debug purposes).
Fixed an issue where controller only packets were processing incorrectly when outputting Notes and not Tone Packets.
I now send chord track controllers 1 & 2, even if not sending Tone Packets.
Renamed the output Bus to Port in track options.

Helium is a lightweight AUv3 MIDI sequencer plugin designed specifically for AUM. It supports up to 16 tracks of unlimited length with the ability to direct output to 16 channels on up to 16 MIDI output ports.

One of the great features is the ability to import and maintain libraries of MIDI clips using Helium’s ‘Media Bay’. These clips are freely available all over the internet and may contain individual chord sets, chord progressions or drum tracks. You can quickly build a song by dragging and dropping your MIDI clips from the media bay onto your timeline. You can also save your own clips directly to the media bay to create your own personal MIDI clips libraries. Long press on a clip to preview its contents using the currently selected MIDI device.

Helium now ships with a library of over 7000 MIDI clips, consisting of every chord and chord progression you could ever need.

Helium allows many different ways to import additional MIDI clip libraries. Simply drag and drop your ZIP collections directly to your PC/MAC web browser and they are automatically unpacked into the clips library folder. You can also drag and drop files between the Media Bay and the iOS Files app.

Helium supports a sync mode called ‘Remote Looping’. This was something we recently introduced into our MultiTrack Recorder plugin and is very useful for breaking down the timeline into sections. You can define up to 12 loops which can be used to specify the locations of say the intro, verse, chorus, and outro within your song, then trigger these loops seemlessly in sync with the host tempo. Once captured, these loops can then be triggered by incoming MIDI notes.

A new addition to Helium is the ability to piece together loops into songs, so you just concentrate on creating a single verse, chorus, bridge etc. and piece everything together without the headache of having to re-arrange your timeline.
