Changes in this beta
- New: simple LP filter
- Changed: filter-Q turned into filter-Res (and code to handle old presets)
- Fixed: GUI refresh bug

Helix is starting to look quite pretty (thanks to Jörgen @ Northernbeat Audio). I find the controls a little hard to work with but it’s definitely a major improvement.

Audjoo (Jonas Norberg) has updated Helix beta.
Changes since the July 7 beta
- Possible fix for a multithreaded issue
- Proper Mono and Legato Modes. Fixed a bug that caused a click when using the Mono-mode
- Copy-Phases, if you’re modulating “morph” you definitely want this. Tweaked some of the presets to use the “copy-phases” functionality (Emulated Sync needed this)
- Shape-Octave-Phase
- Boost-Fundamental
- Exponential envelope-shape looking more like an exponential decay
- Loop points in step sequencer
- Fixed filter in delay (only filter one feedback loop, and open filter means open filter).
- Added 3 modes to the delay
- Now can do Stereo-cross (the original mode), Left Cross, Right Cross, and Stereo
- Added shapes for Envelope phases (linjear, smooth, early, late)
- Changed super-panning to be same as an established softsynth (all voices panned “as much as possible”)
- Fixed Super-voice-Panning and phase bugs
- Some changes in the GUI and fixed a GUI-redraw issue
The GUI still doesn’t look very inviting, but please give it a try anyway.
