Starting off at the top left of the interface, two timbres, a saw and square wave, can be morphed or used independently when creating a sound. This is the reason why Image-Line calls it an additive / subtractive synthesizer. General and advanced GUI features Īlthough Harmor is internally an additive synthesizer, most of its controls found on the main GUI are presented in a way that is familiar to subtractive synthesis users. Harmor’s spectrogram (visual feedback panel) can also be revealed to show partials sent to the synthesis engine and display their behavior in real-time.įurthermore, the way these additive modules affect harmonics can often be changed according to custom shapes, masks, and harmonic distribution graphs in the envelope section using line editors. gif) files can also be resynthesized quite faithfully, and some of their parameters can be edited such as time stretching, pitch shifting, and formants, in addition to the full amplitude, pitch and phase harmonic-level manipulation enabled by the additive parameters described above. Imported audio ( WAV, AIFF, WavPack, MP3, OGG, REX1&2) and image (.bmp. Furthermore, lots of these additive parameters can also be individually controlled per each unison voice. Harmor can produce up to 516 partials per note, per unison voice, in each part (512 partials, 3 sub-harmonics, and the filter self-resonance oscillator).
More complex, evolving and unconventional sounds can be achieved due to this delayed summation of partials. This enables a great amount of flexibility and harmonic control before partials are summed, which is essentially only done right before the FX stage. Although the different additive modules and controls found in Harmor can look similar to more conventional synthesizers that utilize subtractive synthesis, its sound generation engine differs in that it sums its component partials much later in the signal chain, even compared to other additive synthesizers, which means that the timbre, filters, harmonizer, phaser, equalizer, and more are all done additively.
Harmor is powered by an additive synthesis engine, similar to Image-Line’s synthesizer Morphine.
