My favorite filter of all! From the crazy custom shapes to just quickly slapping a double cone resonance on a crude low pass and finding filter/resonance width/offset sweetspots, I'll always miss this filter in any other synth. Unless, of course, I just drag it over into Harmor, but can be awkward to go back into the other synth and drag back in to make pre-filter changes. That'd be a next-level feature for Harmor, live-resynthesis, just feed it any other plugin doing it's work's audio and it goes through Harmor on the fly, maybe in the mixer.
Harmor really does have a unique filter. There's been times where I'm making a patch and I spend waaaaay to much time dialing in a nice custom filter. Harmor is one of those plug-ins that hours can go by and you won't even notice it.
@@jonaudio It's amazing, sometimes I zoom WAY in and create all these little micro crinkles in a whole bunch of different places within the filter and maybe phaser, really puts some texture on it. Maybe disperse it over the unison index mapping etc., great to sit down and just see what results Harmor leads you to.
About not loosing sight of your goal, I have a question. How do you go about making an lfo, start later and how to make the depth change according to key velocity. And based on your advice, I noticed that the experts on Harmor, only focus on the amazing timbre capabilities and miss a lot of small things, without which, a capable machine is rendered almost useless for practical purposes. Talking of useless, I have to mention the atrocious graphic design, of basically all Image line plugins.
Great questions! So for making an LFO start later, what you could do is whatever parameter you are modulating with an LFO, say the cutoff for example, you can make points (nodes) in the lfo graph by right clicking. keep the line flat until you want the LFO to start, drop another node and drag it up or down. As far as changing LFO depth with key velocity, I'm not aware of a way to accomplish that in Harmor. I completely agree that it is a lot of the small things inside sound design that really make patches shine. All of the small screws accumulate into a better sounding patch in most cases. The UI of many image-line plugins are very dated now compared to the synths available today. The most frustrating thing in my opinion on that topic, is coming back to a patch I made a long time ago and trying to figure out what is all happening. It's possible but it takes way longer than looking at a patch in pigments, serum, or vital.
Loving these videos. So easy to follow along and figure it out mechanically at the same time. Thank you!
11:53 thank you for saying that
You got it 🤙🤙sometimes we gotta zoom out a little bit and see the whole picture
So freaking cool man, seriously. Thank you for the knowledge!

It's pretty amazing how deep harmor goes and also how old it is too. They were quite ahead of the curve
Good series, we’ll explained, good voice🌟👏👍
Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it!!
It was great!!! Good luck jon💯💯💯

this is crazy man!!...I want the filter section of harmor as a seperate plugin...does anyone know any equivalent to this?
I havent seen an external plugin like harmors filter, that would def be amazing if there was something like that out there
