Helio
An open-source sequencer for desktop and mobile with linear and pattern arrangement, VST instruments, arpeggiators, refactoring tools, microtonal temperaments, and project version control.
Why it’s here
Its note-focused interface helps indie composers draft themes, variations, and unusual scales quickly before moving MIDI or rendered audio into a full production workflow.
Best fit
Art, animation, audio, levels, and narrative turn mechanics into a believable world.
Before you commit
It is not a complete recording, mixing, and mastering DAW, and plug-in sandboxing plus mixed-bitness hosting are limited; finish production in the target instruments and DAW.
