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. Resynthesis can of course be tweaked, providing time stretching, pitch shifting, or less conventional manipulations of partials.Īdditive synthesis is generally very CPU-consuming, but not Harmor's engine. 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. This creates a pink looped area, you can drag the node points at the bottom to fine tune the looped selection.Because it typically requires manipulating large amounts (up to 500 per voice) of partials over time, additive synthesis is hard to handle.

To do this, hold down Ctrl and drag in a selection area on the IMG graph on where you want it to loop. To fix this you can create a looped selection. But if you have bits of silence before and after the audio part it’s still going to play through the whole file before looping. So by default when you drag an audio file in it is set to loop.

And another cool thing about this resynthesized voice, is if I play back a chord now on my MIDI controller you’ll hear a chord of my Aah-ed voice. But I’m not too fussed about this so I’m just going to change the start position of the sound with the Time dial. Pretty cool if you want some reversed effects.Īn alternative is to edit the gaps out of the audio part in maybe an audio editor like Edison, and then save it out as a new part so when you pull it back into Harmor it’s right at the beginning. Drag the Time dial to the end of your audio part., Then turn the Speed dial to the left once it goes past the middle it goes into the negative meaning that the part with play back in reverse.

Now here’s an even cooler quick thing to try.
