Harmonic Pro Studio Harmonic Classic analog synthesizer

  • The classic poly sound

    Three oscillators into a resonant ladder filter, six voices, glide, unison and chord memory: the fat basses, brass, strings and pads of the great studio synths.

  • Every control in sight

    One panel, no menus. Turn a knob and hear it, with a patch browser that plays each sound the moment you click it.

  • More than a copy

    Poly mod, feedback and drive, per-note aftertouch, two effect slots with spring and plate reverb, an arpeggiator and a 64-step sequencer locked to your song.

What makes it different

Harmonic Classic gives every voice its own small imperfections with one Vintage knob, from perfectly clean to gently drifting, and keeps that character saved with the patch. It plays in Eco, Studio or Render quality, and every export is made at the highest quality automatically.
