Description

Helm is compatible with GNU/Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows operating systems. You can utilize Helm as a standalone synthesizer or as a plugin in various formats such as LV2, VST, VST3, or AU, and it is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. This flexibility allows you to use Helm anywhere without concerns about digital rights management (DRM), and it empowers you to examine, modify, and share the source code, whether in its original form or altered. As a software synthesizer, Helm enables users to generate electronic music directly from their computers. Its philosophy of being "free as in freedom" means you have complete control over the software rather than being controlled by it. In financial terms, Helm operates on a "pay what you want" model, giving you the option to use it without any payment if you choose. Moreover, any sounds produced by Helm are owned by the user, granting you copyright over every sound you create. You can easily toggle various modules on or off using the small power buttons located in the top left corner of the interface. Among these modules, the SUB module serves as one of Helm's primary sound generators, managing a single oscillator that typically plays an octave lower than the note currently being struck. This intuitive design ensures that users can quickly experiment and craft their unique sounds.

Description

Pook empowers producers to create their own unique audio effects and instruments, allowing them to experience these creations live within their digital audio workstations (DAWs) before exporting them as signed VST3, AU, and AAX plugins compatible with both macOS and Windows. The process begins with the producer detailing their desired sound characteristics, control layout, and visual design to a coding agent they regularly utilize, which then generates the plugin. Serving as the host, Pook seamlessly loads the source code, executes the digital signal processing (DSP), and manages the user interface, automatically updating in real-time within the DAW whenever changes are made, eliminating the need for restarts or rescans while ensuring that the original source code remains accessible and owned by the producer. Pook efficiently manages essential plugin requirements, including window resizing, delay compensation, session recall, DAW transport and tempo synchronization, along with providing a signed build for each format. Available at a price of $199 each for Pook Fx and Pook Instrument, or both for $299 under Pook Studio, the service also offers a 21-day free trial to new users. Furthermore, it is designed to be compatible with various AI coding tools, such as Claude Code, Codex (ChatGPT), Antigravity (Gemini), and any other AI subscription service the producer may already have. This innovative platform is supported on macOS 13 and later, as well as Windows 10 version 22H2 and beyond.
