Helium AUv3 MIDI Sequencer App Reviews

Needed an app to import MIDI files generated by Piano Motifs and play them in AUM. You can do this with one instance of Helium in AUM. I import a folder with the Piano Motifs clips into the Media Bay and then import the MIDI clips into different tracks (channels in AUM). Sync and then play! A breeze to use.

Just wish i could view more ghost tracks at the same time, and they were more visible so i could see all the midi note on different tracks on the same piano roll with different colors. Other than that, its useful.

Been using Helium for a year now, It has become a staple in my AUM setup - using the midi browser to trigger loops from my large collection of midi basslines, melodies and drums loops. Helium makes it easy to preview loops with minimal setup.

When grabbing and dragging around notes on the piano roll, the note kind of lags behind. It feels like im dragging the note by a string instead of the note selected moving right along with my finger. A great example of fluidity where there’s no lag moving notes around is beat maker 3. Sure you have way more piano roll options in this but it can feel a bit clunky when I can’t quickly / fluidly grab a note and reposition it without that laggy automation. Not bashing the app I just see this as an o

This is a great complement to Atom sequencer whose pattern sets are similar to the remote loops in Helium but which are cumbersome to make act like Atom’s patterns. I use Helium to sequence Atom into full songs with Helium’s loops as cue points for live performance.

I haven't used this feature in a while. It used to work smoothly, but now when I import midi files with more than one instrument (from Logic Pro X or Reaper) all the tracks are mixed together on track one. Is it because I upgraded my iPad?

I was looking for a simple enough yet deep enough MIDI sequencer to use with Loopy Pro. This one is just right for my needs… and with plenty of extra functionality under the hood if needed. I watched the two recent masterclass tutorials on YouTube from the author. They were super clear and helpful. Bravo!

Great midi sequencer. The only issues I have with it so far is sometimes notes get stuck, and I really wish the press/hold to audition midi sequences had a latch option since it hurts to keep holding to preview so many midi files.

I do not know what “AUM” is. I was hoping I could create music within the app itself; however, where is the sound? Volume is turned up and I do not hear anything! Developer has many videos on YouTube; however, I do not have time to listen to them all, which would probably take hours. Don’t get this unless you are a professional musician!

(No, you didn’t. ) I hit velocity, and the following behavior is nothing like what you demonstrated. I turn on chord track and it doesn’t make a difference. I double tap, or hold on the blank chord track bar and nothing is shown. Please, please, show us from absolute scratch , with nothing preset in your demonstration and at the beginning of the tutorial how to get the and add chords in the track.

Desperately needs a "Scissor tool" to be able to shorten midi events but would make 2 events out of the one, or 3 out of the same one if shortened again. Thanks
