Each additional sine wave is then called a “partial”. With Harmor, additive synthesis lets you add up to 516 sine waves per note.
Looking for a deep-dive on subtractive synthesis? We have you covered! Subtractive synthesis on the other hand is a form of synthesis where parts of a signal rich in harmonics are attenuated with a filter. These sine waves can either be harmonic (a multiple of the base frequency) or inharmonic. Where else can you do that?!Īdditive synthesis is a sound synthesis technique that creates timbre by adding sine waves together. With Harmor, you can generate sound based on images. Harmor is an additive / subtractive synthesizer with image and audio re-synthesis. In any case, most of what we will cover here is applicable to both synths.
Harmor will give you much more control and customization options over your sounds.īut if you want a lightweight version of Harmor (and less CPU-intensive), Harmless is an option.
They work in very similar ways, but you can think of Harmor as a beefed-up version of Harmless. The reason for the similarity is simple – Harmless is the predecessor to Harmor.
