1.1 Welcome
What Harmonic Pro Studio is, and how this manual is organised.
Harmonic Pro Studio is a music studio for Windows and macOS where the song’s key, chords and tempo reach every tool. Write chords and a band plays them. Record over it. Mix it with effects that know what key you’re in.
1.1.1 How this manual is organised
- Getting started takes you from the download to your first song in a few minutes.
- Settings explains the Settings window, where your files are saved, and how to let an AI assistant work the studio for you.
- The DAW covers the timeline: automation, loops and the Block Arranger.
- Effects has one chapter for each effect that comes with the studio.
- Windows and macOS work the same way. Where they differ, the manual says so. Shortcuts are written for Windows: on a Mac, use Cmd where it says Ctrl.
- Help covers the problems people meet most often, and how to reach us.
New chapters are added as each part of the studio is released.
