Cherry Audio has announced the release of an original next-generation virtual instrument that seamlessly blends the nostalgia of vector and wave sequencing synthesizers from the ’80s and ’90s with sophisticated synthesis techniques and an inventive, intuitive interface.
Featuring dual sample-based interpolated scanning harmonic oscillators, a curated sample library of 285 waveforms, support for user-imported samples, and a selection of 350+ presets to get you started, Harmonia produces lush, evolving polyphonic sounds that will captivate budding musicians and seasoned professionals alike.
Harnessing additive synthesis methods, each of Harmonia’s two powerful sample-based oscillators simultaneously delivers up to eight pitches tuned to harmonic series or semitone pitches. 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.
With hundreds of meticulously sampled waveforms sourced from various synthesizers, traditional instruments, and voices, as well as an array of quirky “lo-fi” sounds, Harmonia offers a broad tonal palette not easily matched by most virtual instruments. Moreover, users can import their own samples effortlessly, and unique morphed and sequencer-like tones are easily created by simply varying combinations of waveform selection and harmonic presets.
Harmonia’s all-inclusive production experience goes one step further with flexible tone sculpting features including four syncable polyphonic LFOs, an expansive stereo multimode filter, and visual click-and-drag filter and amp envelopes. A massive eight-slot mod matrix with dozens of sources and destinations gives producers unparalleled flexibility and creativity to create unique and visionary music.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU, AAX and standalone), Harmonia is on sale for the intro price of $49 USD for a limited time (regular $69 USD).
The offer is available at Plugin Boutique, ADSR Sounds, and from the Cherry Audio store.
