Harmonia is the latest wildly innovative virtual instrument from Cherry Audio
designed to easily create rich
evolving polyphonic tones through its intuitive visual interface. The magic behind Harmonia lies in its two sample-based oscillators. Using techniques similar to those found in additive synthesis
each Harmonia oscillator can simultaneously produce up to eight pitches
individually tuned to a harmonic series or semitones. The volume for each pitch harmonic can be fixed or dynamic
and Harmonia’s unique interpolated harmonic scanning enables dramatic sweeps and melodious sequences through a single modulatable slider. Harmonia derives its distinctive organic sound from hundreds of sampled waveforms recorded from various synthesizers
traditional instruments and voices
colorful “lo-fi” sounds
and more. User samples can be imported
further expanding Harmonia’s tonal palette. Producers can effortlessly create unique morphed and sequencer-like tones by varying the combinations of waveform selection and harmonic presets. Harmonia reaches new heights by providing four syncable LFOs
an expansive multimode filter
click-and-drag envelopes
and a massive mod matrix with eight slots for dozens of sources and destinations. Harmonia includes support for aftertouch
flexible MIDI mapping
and a collection of over 350 breathtaking
professionally designed presets. Harmonia also has 17 studio-quality effects such as distortion
chorus
phaser
echoes
reverbs
and more - all fully modulatable through the matrix.
