Description: Harmor is an additive synthesis monster! In this 45-lesson tutorial, G.W. Childs IV explains how this Image-Line instrument will change the way you create music!
Harmor, the steroid-powered synthesizer from Image-Line and FL Studio, is one of the most powerful synthesizers ever invented! It is, first and foremost, a synthesis machine within the familiar body of subtractive synthesis. So, yes, it has a filter, but it’s a filter with which you draw and design your specifications! But it also has much more…
Harmor is an additive synthesis monster! In this 45-tutorial course, GW Childs explains how this Image-Line, instrument will change the way you think about making music!
Harmor, the steroid-enhanced synthesizer from Image-Line and FL Studio, is one of the most pumped-up synths ever invented! It’s primarily an additive synthesis machine in a familiar subtractive synthesis body. So yes, it does have a filter, but it’s a filter that you draw with and design to your specifications! But there’s also a lot more…
G.W. starts by opening Harmor’s pandora box to reveal the depths of its sick and powerful inner madness. Take Image Synthesis, for instance… G.W. shows you how to feed Harmor some bitmapped pictures and see them regurgitated into sound! You also learn all about Harmor’s insane resynthesis engine! This where Harmor can eat up any audio file and turn it into a one thousand, sine wave representation of the original. Once resynthesized, you can dig-in deeper and manipulate all those sinusoidal partials transforming your original file into, well, whatever your crazy imagination will let you!
But this is just the beginning. So, instead of us trying to explain the depth of Harmor’s immense capabilities with just mere words, I suggest you just dive right in and let the talented G.W. Childs show you – in his entertaining way – just what this beast called Harmor is all about. But beware, you may never be the same! Take it away G.W….
