Partial phase - The phase of each partial that plays.Partial amplitude - Amplitude of each partial that plays.

This set of partials is scaled in frequency by the fundamental frequency (root note) played. Partial frequency - Frequency of each partial to play.There are three sets of data required to store and manipulate an additive waveform. Inharmonic partials tend to confuse the root note pitch byĪdd a metallic or noisy edge to the tone. Harmonic partials tend to reinforce the root note pitch adding complexity while maintaining a melodic tone. Partials can be harmonic, an exact (integer) multiple of the base frequency (notes pitch) or inharmonic, decimal multiples of That combine to produce the original waveform or sound.
CHIPMUNK BASIC RANDOM NUMBER SERIES
Each sine wave is referred to as a 'partial' as it is part of the complete series of sine waves In short, French mathematician, Joseph Fourier, showed that any waveform can be decomposed So what is Additive Synthesis? This video is a great introduction to the topic - Overtones, harmonics and Additive synthesis. Harmor can generate up to 516 sine wave (partials), per note, per unison voice AND modulate these in real-time to resynthesize ANY continuously evolving sound.

CHIPMUNK BASIC RANDOM NUMBER TRIAL
TRIAL ONLY: Harmor is available as a demo in FL Studio and needs to be purchased separately so you can save projects containingĬlick on the image above to jump to the help for that section Just cut-and-paste between Harmor and your editor of choice.Ĭheck the video series Image-Line | Harmor (VST & Native Plugin Instrument), or the Harmor preset forum here. Image & Audio Resynthesis - Images and audio files (WAV, AIFF, WavPack, MP3, OGG, REX1&2) can be dragged and dropped on Harmor to provide 'sampler-quality' reproduction of sounds or work with image-based synthesis when used in conjunction with your favorite image editor. Draw filter shapes and gain precise control over every aspect of the sound generation process. These are featured in Harmor but, because they are performed on additive synthesis data, rather than audio, offer more freedom.Īdditive / subtractive synthesis - In Harmor no audio-stream exists, instead a table of frequency and amplitude data is manipulated efficiently, accurately and in ways not possible with traditional methods, that process an audio stream. Its modules will look familiar to subtractive synthesizer enthusiasts: oscillators, filters & phasers.

Like its predecessor Harmless, Harmor is powered by a powerful additive synthesis engine.
