Quotes from helix users:

Wilbert Roget, II

"The new version of Helix is a wonderful asset to my virtual instruments collection, and my go-to synth for nearly all my electronic needs. Its best feature is simply that it sounds good, has the smoothest tone and analog warmth of anything out there, along with tons of power in the distortion and some great high quality FX. Masterful presets by BigTone make it super fast to get started on designing sounds right away, and Helix's extensive parameters are now much easier to use with the new and improved UI. Along with the surprisingly low CPU cost, these features make Helix a perfect tool for both music producers as well as film and media composers."

Giuseppe Iampieri a.k.a. Mistheria

"HELIX has totally stunned me! It never happened that I had so strong emotions just listening for synthesizer presets. I’ve been blown away and my heart was beating so loud!

I’ve been driven in the most majestic, titanic, enchanting, massive, rich, huge and colossal musical landscapes! My speakers were giving off the best sound atmospheres I never heard, all under my fingers and expressivity controls. If you don’t listen for it, you cannot believe how Helix can play! Pad, lead, arp, sequencer, keys, fx sounds and more, I could write a song for each preset… Helix is not just amazing instrument; it is font of full inspiration and infinite feeling!

Least but not last, Helix interface is powerful and intuitive; you can edit existing presets or create your own quickly and easily getting back exactly the sound you’ve in mind. Helix is one of the most astonishing, attractive, awesome, extraordinary and immovable instrument in my studio and stage setups."
