As I was already familiar with Helm it didn't strike me that it is not easy to figure out what it is from that home page.

It is a software based synthesiser mostly used as a plugin into a music creation application, usually called DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

There are tons of these, not as many that are open source.

It's also really good and the interface is really nice.

I don't use it much since Vital, by the same author, does most of what Helm does & more.

It's honestly so nice of him to make both of them available for free.

Thanks for that. A bit of it belongs in the title, regardless of what information the link goes to. For example..
