  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Exploring the Helm Synthesizer

submitted by BSR

3 years 6 months ago

In this video we explore the free polyphonic synthesizer Helm! It's an amazing piece of software where you can generate different kinds of audio signals and add filters in real time. We'll also be using the open source audio software Audacity to record our generated sound for use in video editing software.

Download links to all software shown:
Helm by Matt Tytel: https://tytel.org/helm/
Audacity: https://www.audacityteam.org/
Blender https://www.blender.org/download/

If any of the amazing tools we used in this video was of any value to you, please consider supporting them! You can read more about software freedom here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/
