Harmless is an additive synthesizer doing subtractive synthesis. Or if you
prefer, a subtractive synthesizer powered by an additive synthesis engine.
You may ask: why?
For several reasons. To begin with, there are too many subtractive
synthesizers already, often bragging about being virtual analog. This one
is digital, and proud to be. Everything is fake, the tone generator, the
filter & its resonance, the phaser, all performed on the harmonics, before
partials are computed.
Now, how it's synthesized shouldn't matter after all, if the result sounds
subtractive. But Harmless is more than a proof of concept, it allows fine
control that wouldn't be possible through classic subtractive synthesis.
Filtering and phasing can be assigned unusual shapes & slopes, something
normally only possible through offline digital filters. Filter slopes can
even be defined in Hz instead of octaves. Finally, you get control on each
partial's frequency, creating timbres definitely impossible using common
synthesis methods.
Harmless, for less harmonics
Again, Harmless is additive doing subtractive. Harmonics are not produced
to be filtered, the timbre is filtered before being generated. This may
sound like a detail, but generating sounds this way offers a lot more
advantages than drawbacks.
Not necessarily less efficient
Powered by a highly optimized, multithreaded additive engine, CPU usage is
comparable to the one of traditional subtractive synthesizers, especially
for low-passed timbres. Voices may be generating hundreds of harmonics in
parallel and still not overload the CPU.
Because less is more
Harmless was limited by design. We don't have any problem with complex
synthesizers (we made several), but they're not for everyone. Here, no
tabs, no hidden controls, no multipoint envelopes, all features are visible
at once, and color-grouped. Over 100 parameters, most of which being
automatable, are laid over a clear GUI.
Harmless, only in appearance
Simpler to program, yet packed with evil features. Under the hood, you will
find unique options, like linking the phaser's output to partials
frequencies. The LFO section can act as a special modulation source,
linking the phaser's width to the velocity, or the pitch to the filter's
envelope.
Of course, Harmless also offers features typically unique to additive
synthesis, like its automatable harmonic mask.
Harmless is also packed with effects, the usual chorus, delay & reverb, but
also a multiband compressor/limiter powered by Maximus itself. It also
inherited the powerful unison from Sytrus.
In conclusion, our goal was to create a subtractive synthesizer with a
unique twist, that also was easy to program, and we believe it succeeded.
