Guys, you just monopolized harmonics synthesizing process! 👍🔥Adding a Samples Manager feature to add them by Folders would emboss HARMONIA in the industry forever 😍
Love the format of this video - a clear walkthrough directly from someone who helped make the tool. Please consider doing this for future releases as well. Looking forward to playing with this new synth. Thank you!
Thanks! I initially was shooting for a much shorter vid, but there's a lot to talk about here. We chose to concentrate on the oscillators, because most of the rest of the architecture is pretty familiar to experienced synth users.
I own every synth they make. I love Cherry Audio!!! And now THIS? Incredible. I think the response is so great that I am trying to install it now and your server is timing out. You guys rock. I am sure eventually I will get through and complete my install. It's a tribute to how great and popular your products are and how you guys keep getting more and more popular with every new release. Love it!!
Things on our site should definitely be smoother now. We tripped over the power plug when we went to get fresh coffee 😁 j/k but, yes, the response has been absolutely massive. "We're gonna need a bigger boat!" 🦈
Oh, this is going to be a real winner! Fantastic stuff. I love your original designs as well as the old stuff. Nice take on additive synthesis. Can't wait to start modulating these harmonics in a DAW. Great work as always from Cherry Audio.
This is such a great synth, I'm addicted to additive, I have a hardware Kawai K5000, on iPad I have Addstation and Cubesynth. I'd rate Harmonia 1st, K5000 2nd, the Addstation. I love thats its so easy to use, the UI is great, as well as the synth architecture. Sound is amazing. I can get close to the old RMI Synthesizer in terms of sound, and even the K5000 too
One of my favorite Eurorack modules ever was the Verbos Harmonic Oscillator, and ever since I sold off my modular, I've never really found anything that equals it's functionality - until now! You guys just gained a customer! 😊
Looking forward to the coming GUI updates to your existing line of synths now that you have a new UI designer although I would still prefer at least two types of UI (one for the classic hardware look and the other for more efficient workflow).
Dreamsynth is my go to workhorse synth for fastbsound design. Harmonia, with its late 80s style, looks like it will rival Dreamsynth for quick sound design. Looming forward to a weekend full of new ideas and new noises.
It's very interesting. A bit like a rompler, but with more options. I'd like to see a bit more pure synthesis mixed in there for extra sound shaping, but I'm testing everything right now. It seems like this is made for people who want something great sounding immediately without a lot of fuss. Great for production and live players. Also, is it possible to import wav files... or what is possible to import to customize this further? IR's? Something else: I sure wish I could see a live view of the waveform of the sound I'm currently shaping.
You can load your own by clicking the waveform display and selecting Load User Sample File. More info in the manual here: docs.cherryaudio.com/cherry-audio/instruments/harmonia/load-user-sample You can't load IR's into it (you could, but they wouldn't do anything useful); Harmonia isn't a convolution synth. As for for live view of the wave, we wanted to keep the UI easy to understand and compact. That said, the orange bars act as harmonic volume sliders, and the skinny red bars on top of them act as live VU meters for each harmonic. They show the static level and mod, so it's very easy to visually see what's going on with the oscillator at any given time.
7:56 You can call it a "harmonic interpolator", and Korg could call it a "traveler"... it's what happens with the "filter cutoff" when you turn the "resonance" way up, so that the cutoff picks out individual harmonics. Another way to look at it is as an EQ with faders at the harmonic series nodes. I guess you could call it the million dollar feature of just about ANY synth. It seems cool, like a Synclavier-lite... I don't know why all the weird terminology for stuff we already have names for, but that's okay.
Obviously sweeping cutoff with res turned up emphasizes even order harmonics as it sweeps through, so there's a conceptual parallel there, and the Width knob is conceptually similar to an EQ bandwidth/Q control. But there’s no filtering or resonance involved in Harmonia’s sweeping harmonics - the oscillator is actually playing back the sample at all eight frequencies simultaneously, thus allowing Harmonia to do far more than just sweeping. Each harmonic can be individually tuned in multiples of the root or semitones, the tuning of each harmonic doesn’t need to be in any particular order (in a low-to-high sense), each harmonic’s volume can be statically set, tuning and volume of each can be individually modulated, etc. etc. etc. FWIW, the control in question is simply called "center," nothing too hoity-toity. We actually thought the whole "Interpolated Scanning Synthesis" terminology was sort of funny and quaint, because every synth company in the 90s had some kind of silly important sounding buzzword. But we did need something better than "crossfader doodad synthesis" and although it's a relatively simple idea, there's aren't many instruments out there that do this kind of thing.
So instead of using 127 bins in FFT, it's using octaves per sample to generate sound? I use Serum and it has an additive synth method, but I want to know what would set this apart because this looks really cool and I can see it perfect for cinematic sounds
How about running MIDI arpeggios through Harmonia? Would there happen to be a setting in Harmonia whereby each individual arpeggio midi note triggers any one of the 8 fixed positions on the slider at random? Would there be something in the Key Trigger mode where this could be set up? I'm just thinking that this could make for some unpredictably amazing sounding arpeggios! 😀
I hope I'm answering this right, but you can create arpeggio-like patterns by putting it "semitone" mode, setting the harmonic sliders to the notes you like and modulating the Center slider. There a couple of ways to do it, but one nice way is to modulate Center with an LFO with LFO wave set to Sample and Hold (i.e. random) and tempo sync enabled. You can also create "automatic" arpeggios by sweeping through the harmonics with an envelope generator, or with an LFO with 1-Shot and Retrigger enabled, and waveform set to ramp, saw, or tri (you probably want to max the Bias knob too). You probably wouldn't need to feed it arpeggiated MIDI note data, though I suppose you could. I explain a fair amount of this in the video (sorry it's so long, I wanted it to be short!).
Seems pretty cool, but missing what I would think is a very basic function: Being able to animate the level of each harmonic independently instead of just sweeping up and down across them. Still, gotta play with it. I always love a new Cherry Audio synth :)
@@CherryAudiovst Good choice, after seeing this video I thought that it would be awesome a hardware version of this (also Sines, thinking about it would be a good candidate).
Totally looking forward to this... Quite an interesting approach to speeding up patch creation... i wonder why only 37 harmonics? Will we be able to load our own samples at some point?
I know it seems like really odd number (literally), but it had to be the same number of positions whether it was in harmonics or semitone mode - when you're in semitones, it's 0-36 semitones (i.e., three octaves). The reality is that when you're in harmonics mode, 37 is dog-whistle high anyway. Re user samples, you can load your own by clicking the waveform display and selecting Load User Sample File. More info in the manual here: docs.cherryaudio.com/cherry-audio/instruments/harmonia/load-user-sample
You can add your own samples and create your own custom harmonic presets NOW! Check our online user guide for details - docs.cherryaudio.com/cherry-audio/instruments/harmonia/getting-started
@@CherryAudiovst Oh ok... Thanks! that explains the 37 limitation... cool! (btw, if you massively drop the fundamental several octaves, 37 doesn't have to be upsetting the neighbor's dog...😀) Can't wait to give this thing a try at some point soon - and maybe throw some home brew additive user samples at it!
First question, yes. Second question, you cannot directly fine tune the individual harmonics of an oscillator (semitone values only), but may be able achieve similar results through mapping modulations. Best way to check your specific use case is to try the free demo
Looks like great fun! Might be tempted away from my hardware obsession for once…😂 Question - it seems like only multiples of the root are available. Any plans to implement subdivisions? A form of Subharmonicon with far more waveforms to play with? That would be awesome to an experimentalist like me haha
Probably not, just because we were treading a line of trying to keep it easy to understand. You could approximate it pretty closely by setting one of the middle harmonics to something like 16, think of that as the "root" and fool with settings lower than 16 for the harmonics below. That would get you all kinds of lower ratios. (you'd probably want to lower the overall oct transposition as well with Octave knob and maybe the left-hand transpose).
@@Grace_Griffin FWIW, a while back I spent something like DAYS trying to make ridiculously complicated faux-Subharmonicon patch in Voltage Modular. I failed miserably (because there wasn't a module that would properly do all the division, if I recall correctly), but I did end up with some very interesting-but-flawed patches. I think we talked about making an instrument like it, but ultimately decided that it would be too close of a copy of a modern/currently produced thing.
@@CherryAudiovst I recently got a Maths module and much to my delight discovered that you can abuse it to roughly emulate a subharmonicon - there are a couple of YT how-to's out there which show the way. Still have the SubH proper on my GAS list though! Anyway, I'll be buying the Harmonia I think, looks amazing 👍👍👍 (and its my birthday present to myself haha) thanks for the replies!
@@Grace_Griffin I kinda want a Subharmonicon too, but I'm guessing Moog prices are about to go bonkers. OTOH, probably less chance of someone getting upset if we make something like it now!
There are no weak presets! 😆 No, there is no integrated EQ in Harmonia, but plenty of effects to beef up the tones (try the free demo!). There is no "chord button", but you'll find that the oscillators and harmonic presets (and many of the full patch presets) show how you can easily play and create extensive chords that can be played with a single finger.
Thanks, sounds exciting. I tend to buy almost any synth that has a chord button on it. Look forward to buying this because it looks like it has some great exciting features unlike anything I have in my arsenal. Also would've been great if an EQ could've been added as one of the effects added. Thanks for a great product.
@@Don_nell The Distortion effect has a "Tone & Level" mode that does clean highpass and lowpass filtering. Obviously subjective here, but we found that it's really easy to end up with things that sound too thick because you're often stacking a bunch of notes/harmonics, so the highpass is handy (the highpass control in the reverb is useful for this as well). Too thin usually isn't the problem, and if it is, it's super easy to bring up more harmonics to thicken it up. Also, other than the basic analog waves, most of the samples are stereo, so that makes things inherently really wide. And to expand on what Robert said, we didn't bother with a chord memory button (or an arpeggiator, for that matter) because the oscillators inherently do both of these very easily.
very interesting. As i can see from the video, there is an option to load user sample into each osc!. I don’t know if you actually can load 8 different sample in all 8 osc ?. Allso, if you can morph each osc, maybe its allso possible to fake waveseq ??.
We were trying keep it pretty easy to wrap your head around, so we didn't go nuts with that stuff, BUT the LFO's actually can get a lot more complex than they appear by cleverly using the Bias knob - you can add "flat spots" to the wave shapes, which is useful for unusual shapes or "delays" when they're used like envelopes in one-shot mode.
As for faking a wavesequence, not exactly because you can't have different waves for each harmonics. But if the Width knob is at zero, harmonics will instantly snap from one to the next when you move the Center slider (or modulate it), which sounds very Wavestation-y. Also, setting pitch knobs to zero will turn off a harmonic, so you can add "empty steps." Besides being a lot easier to use, the thing Harmonia can do that a Wavestation can't is that the width knob lets you play anywhere from one to all eight harmonics at once (AND it can easily be modulated).
Great synth for ambient but I'll never understand synth designers who put all this time into creating something so awesome and then spend three seconds on visual communication and design.

Fantastic Synth!! Looking forward to playing with it. Thanks CA!!
I like the cut of its jib. Couple questions:
- can I import my own samples into the oscillators for processing?
- MPE support?
Yes, you can load a custom WAV sample into each of the two oscillators. No MPE support in Harmonia.
the possibility to tune each of the 8 partials is a great feature , this is a highly interesting synth , thanks cherry audio
I've been hoping for a additive synth for awhile
I know what my next purchase from Cherry is going to be.
Just perfect ❤
Cool synth!
This is much more interesting than "just another clone" of an analog Synth. Sounds great and looks like it is fun to use too!
Nice synth. Looking forward to sound design with custom waveforms and sweeping techniques
