Cherry Audio Harmonia Overview
Featuring an innovative sound engine with two sample-based oscillators that employ additive synthesis techniques, the Cherry Audio Harmonia is a powerful virtual synthesizer that derives its distinctive organic sound from hundreds of sampled waveforms recorded from various synthesizers, traditional instruments, and voices, colorful lo-fi sounds, and more.
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. Expand Harmonia's tonal palette by importing your own samples, and effortlessly create unique morphed and sequencerlike tones by varying the combinations of waveform selection and harmonic presets.
