While this makes Harmor cool in a sense, it makes it a bad learning tool for newbies because the knowledge you gain about how to use Harmor won't generalize easily to other synthesizers. What I mean is that there are many idiosyncratic controls with idiosyncratic names that aren't found on other synths (blur, prism, harmonizer, etc.). No need to start with the big guns.īeyond that, a problem specific to Harmor IMHO is that it's a super unique synth. In a nutshell, all I'm saying is that you should learn to crawl before you learn to walk. Once you understand that, you'll be in a good place to start learning Sytrus or Harmor. From there, it's just a matter of understanding the basic theory behind FM and additive synthesis and how they differ from subtractive synthesis. Once you have learned your way around a subtractive synthesizer (waveforms, filters, modulation, etc.), you will have already learned a good chunk of what synthesizers can do. Given your Sytrus/Harmor focus, I assume you're an FL user FL has several hi-quality native subtractive synths to choose from. It's much, much simpler than FM or additive, there are usually fewer parameters, and there are many more different synths to choose from. If you're new to synthesis, DEFINITELY start by learning subtractive synthesis. You may not find this helpful, but I'd say neither. play with them both! If you own both, there's no reason not to just use them to their strengths and then just kind of improvise from there!Īt the end of the day, just have fun with it! Music shouldn't be a race to see "who has conquered every synth" or who "wins" (the answer to the winning thing is Skrillex, and he 'won' when he helped dubstep go mainstream with Scary monsters), but it should be a relaxing way to express yourself and make some danceable music.Īnyway, going too much into my personal theory of music rather than just a synth question, hope I was of help! You'll never really master the synth unless we're talking 10+ years of using it, but you can get really damn close with harmor in a few months, and about a year of sytrus you can get really good. You can totally use sytrus and never touch harmor and still get sick basses and soft leads, and you can totally just use harmor and never really need sytrus, depending on the music you make, of course! But I think a little bit of sytrus and a lot of harmor goes a long way, especially if you can get really good at both. I eventually tackled sytrus when I had a bit more experience under my belt with harmor. I started off with harmor and eventually learned sytrus, and I'd say harmor is a great learning tool to get to a good understanding of synthesis, seeing as how you have complete control over every aspect of the sound.
