Helix Synthpads and tonematches

Helix Synthpads and tonematches

31 presets for firmware 2.21 and above – 13 “synthpads”, which uses the 4 OSC Generator as a backing for playing over (each snapshot triggers a different chord) ; and 18 tonematch presets, which uses exclusive IRs, to reproduce the sound of popular amps not available in the Helix (like the Diezel VH4, Friedman Dirty Shirley, ENGL Savage, Splawn etc.), or recording of amp that I like.

– The “synthpad” presets uses one 4 OSC Generator, and sometimes two of them for for more complex chords, followed by modulation. Those presets are for songs from Steve Vai, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, The Eagles, Santana, Shawn Lane, Genesis and U2, plus two generic ones.

– Included is a chart for correspondence between frequencies and musical notes, and a list of basic chords and corresponding frequencies, so you can customize those presets.

– I will add more presets like these in the future, for other specific songs, as a free bonus for existing customers. However, as the number of presets rise, the price of the pack may rise a little too, so it’s better to get it now

– This pack uses 24 user cabs : 15 for the tonematch presets, 8 from the Big Pack released in 2016, and one of my valhallir.at (http://valhallir.at/en/) custom mix.

new preset, added 27/09/2017 :

IRs

You need to put the user IRs in the right places – “090 LX TDR HG1.wav” goes to user spot 090, etc.
