The Secret to Actually using the Helix Synths

All of my free & paid Helix presets and impulse responses - https://www.alexpricemusician.com/helix
The legacy synth blocks in the Helix I've always felt are criminally underrated. They're tough to use right out of the box, but setting up a very certain type of signal to send into the front of them is the key to unlocking their potential. In this video I want to run through the compressor/limiter/noise gate settings that actually make the synth effects useable. I'll also be sharing one of my favorite presets that I've created in the style of a generic 80's Lead Synth.
