elementary VS helm

I don't know which library you're using, but I use Elementary Audio for my audio projects. This looks like a great fit.

Well I m a js dev in life, I recently discovered this library https://www.elementary.audio/, which at first stable release does a pretty good job, I did little experiments and it seems pretty promising

And check out this new native audio implementation with JS !!! https://www.elementary.audio/

Great recommendations in here, and I'm happy to see this thread getting such attention!

This is totally a shameless self-plug, but I think it could be interesting for you:

I'm working on a project called Elementary Audio [1] which is a javascript runtime + framework for writing native audio software. It's like the Web Audio API in that it's javascript+audio, but unlike Web Audio in that it aims to target true native audio apps, like plugins for your DAW or hardware projects.

The API that it offers feels to me very much like thinking and working in analog synths, which is why I think you might find it interesting. You can describe and wire up signals and just see what they sound like without having to worry about what needs to happen under the hood for you to hear it.

I put together a guide for dipping your toes into making sound [2] and you'll find there a bunch of other resources that I recommend for getting into the topic.

I should note too that it's currently in beta and only supports macos and linux (windows coming soon!)

Funny you should say that :) I'm currently building a small drum synth, will share it as soon as its ready.

In the mean time, check out https://github.com/nick-thompson/elementary for some examples that you can `npm install && npm start` to hear

undertstand how to install VST (Virtual Studio Technology) download some free plugins. FREE ONES, NO matter if they sound superduper or not. just to play around and try to undertstand them. watch some tutorials how to set them up in your DAW. i recommend the Plugin Helm! yes not the best but for free and alot of options to learn from it. and thats what makes it great! https://tytel.org/helm/ . i recommend this heavily because you have some sounds to start witha and you can create alone with this one alot. i mean really alot. there are endless tutorials how to make some specific sounds with this. than you need to a drumkit. you can use helms drumsounds and so on. but i recommend to search for a better way to do drums. helm can give you good piano, bass, and so on. but take your time to find a drum plugin. after you played around with helm already.

Matt Tytel's Helm is a great option to learn, CPU friendly and it sounds really good.

For a synth, you can't go wrong with Helm https://tytel.org/helm/

Does anyone here have a suggestion for a really cool software synth (preferably free) that can do these kinds of things? I've been messing with Helm, Cardinal and the built-in synths in Bitwig Studio and have yet to get a satisfying result... Don't you hate it when that happens?

What about installing Helm and trying to play it as a standalone instrument.
