If you don't understand it, visualize what it's doing, best way to learn! Watch how each partial evolves in the built-in spectrogram, a picture is worth a thousand words. Just like processing units, effect slots can be re-ordered. In the effects section you will meet all the usual suspects: distortion, chorus, delay and reverb, as well as the mighty Soundgoodizer based on the Maximus engine. Parts can be imported from other presets. Two independent parts (or “layers”) for even more complex sounds. Convert this to an image and edit each partial individually! Import a piece of audio and time-stretch or pitch-shift it (with formant and transient preservation). Resynthesis or image-synthesis, Harmor features both. Processing being multi-threaded, extra CPU cores come in handy. Voices may be generating hundreds of harmonics in parallel and still not overload the CPU. Its efficency is in fact, comparable to that of subtractive synthesizers. And of course, the result of the analysis can still be turned into an image for further editing.Īdditive synthesis is generally very CPU-consuming, but not Harmor's engine. Resynthesis can of course be tweaked, providing time stretching, pitch shifting, or less conventional manipulations of partials. The reproduction will be faithful, not a vague sound-alike as in many additive synthesizers. Get access to gain & pitch planes which you can tweak in the image editor of your choice, and import any bitmap, even if it wasn't designed to be turned into audio, it might still sound interesting.īeing an additive synthesizer, Harmor can resynthesize audio files as well. No human can (or even wants to) edit 500 envelopes, but editing 2D images, that we can do easily. If you need one of the 2 filter units processed after the blur unit, that's no problem.īecause it typically requires manipulating large amounts (up to 500 per voice) of partials over time, additive synthesis is hard to handle. Processing units can be rearranged in a semi-modular way. Through the same envelope/mappings, randomize any parameter or link it to key or velocity, and even fine-tune each unison voice independently. You wanted more, so also featured is the multipoint envelope editor of Sytrus fame, applied to over 40 parameters, in 2 independent parts. You don't just select filter types, you draw them. Its modules will look familiar to subtractive synthesizer enthusiasts: oscillators, filters & phasers, these are featured in Harmor but, because performed through additive synthesis, offer more freedom. Just like its little brother Harmless, Harmor is driven by a powerful additive synthesis engine. These all appear under 'VST' instead of 'FL or Image-Line' as the company in Logic. They fail, but they CAN be used and work.
#REVIEW HARMOR VST 64 BIT#
Some of them a finicky because of the VST to AU, but i was still able to change parameters and presets and everything with a little work.įor Harmless, Harmor, Ogun, Slicex, or Sytrus to work in 64 bit Logic X, you can force them to be accepted by AU manager. It MAY NOT WORK as 64 bit WITHOUT 32 lives. So i did vst to au then 32 lives to 64 bit.
#REVIEW HARMOR VST UPDATE#
The preset sounds are royalty free and can be used in any of your own commercial productions.Here is the Alpha 8 update for the FL plugins.
#REVIEW HARMOR VST HOW TO#
To top things off the FLP project file has been included for the user to study and to get ideas on how to use these sounds in productions. Breathy and spacey pads, cutting leads, plucked synths and chillout sounds fill up this packs diverse selection on sounds. The bass sounds come in many forms from smooth and deep to aggressive and cutting and will fit in many styles including electro, dubstep, and funk. Many of the neuro sounds have been designed with modulation in mind and can be chained together to create more complex and interesting movements. You don't just select filter types, you draw. Beginners should feel right at home diving into these sounds and advanced users will appreciate the quickness of creating new sounds tailored to their tracks with just the turn of a few controls. Just like its little brother Harmless, Harmor is driven by a powerful additive synthesis engine. Many custom waveforms have been created for Biomorphic and each sound has fully mapped XYZ controls for maximum control. These 128 Harmor presets have been carefully crafted and sculpted with the utmost care, making sure each preset has both an impressive sound and an ease of use. Hahahaha yeah can hear the Harmor in that song ) I used it for every synth in this song (which you can probably tell) I fell a little bit in love with it once I figured out how to use it a bit more efficiently. The future is here with sounds of Biomorphic – the Harmor preset pack designed by Toby Emerson.
