Helio Workstation

Found interesting 'DAW' or composer, what ever https://helio.fm/

I like how it shows composition, and way it shows selected scale, and how to enter notes and chords there. However, I did not find how to use some other sound than piano there? Anybody else have tested it, and have more ability to use it?

Nice find, looks interesting.

Ok, I found out how to add instruments. Studio->Orchestra pit, Scan dir for vst plugins. And then select some synth, and 'add new instrument'

For keybindings, check https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helio ... hemes.json

Buggy and definitely not complete DAW, but for composing with midi, great tool.

Thanks for that hint. I like helio very much.
Unfortunately I can't hear any sound from helio after starting jack. Do you have the same issue?
Is it possible to integrate it into ardour?

I am running jack and pulse all the time, and Helio works ok. Is doesn't seem to create jack port, so it outputs to pulseaudio.
