Cherry Audio

Sounds beautiful. But here is a new level of wasted space with angles as well, more wood than synth.

Promising but could have been expanded on a lot more. WYSIWYG, no hidden tweaks.

Only 32 voices unlike the originals 72 (like the keyboard, another reason to hide it)
No detailed control of the 6 channel vibrato, per voice filters or the voice springs.
Could have been so much fun to look under the hood of this classic.

Why stop at only 2 added reverbs, stick to the original or add everything like distortion, chorus, phasers etc.

And why two VSTi? Could have been a lot more uasble with a keyboard split or different MIDI channels.

The sound is distinctive and unique like the rest of the Cherry Audio Synths, fantastic but...

Why the big keyboard when there is also a Ctr+k QWERTY keyboard?
They have made big keybeds and wasted space before but at least the controls were on one page.
An option to hide empty panels, wood and keyboards would be very welcome on all synths.

I like some of the CA synths but not all. Given that this is free it's okay but I might suggest others instead. This sounds verry 80ish and pretty basic so don't expect too much. They have much better synths for a few pizzas, so you might want to check them out anyway. Voltage Modular and MG1 are some other free options as well.

Simply awesome, rare gem.

100% Rolls Royce- oh sorry - Oberheim sounds, also the Phasor works and sounds fantastic and can even improve already excellent sounds.

Nice tool for creating a lot of iconic top-notch synthesizer sounds between Zawinul and Jestofunk, I would say.

Also interesting, how fantastic this real vintage gear even sounds today. I always had been a Taurus and Mini Moog fan, an OB-X fan anyway, but this one has something even more special, very simple controls, but absolutely awesome sounds. (Even more, if you do not use a keyboard, but a guitar to MIDI solution... This plugin gives me exactly the sounds, I always had been looking for with this setup.).

What did the rest do wrong since 1974, that they never came close?

Even better, that it's freeware.

You cannot go wrong with Cherry Audio. They do an excellent work and always are capable you with something even better.

If possible, I gave 10 stars.

My compliments and "complaints" about Harmonia are the same as those I made on the new Pro Soloist by Cherry Audio, so I'll just copy/paste them here:

Sounds lovely. Well done. And the presets are great.
BUT!
there is so much interface space given over to the keyboard and the wooden ears...this [overly] wide interface is a problem.
I can see, just at a quick glance, how the main panel controls could be divided into two rows, ...and it would be a more compact, screen-friendly design that would also allow for larger knobs and labels (always a complaint I see about Cherry Audio synths are the size and readability of knob/slider position).

the knobs and sliders, in Harmonia's case, are a big problem. So much so that I initially passed on buying this (and I like to support Cherry Audio when I can!) synth because of it. Since I was offered such a good deal on Synth Stack 4, to fill in my collection, well, I'll take it. But I predict I won't spend a lot of time tweaking or creating with Harmonia as-is. A great collection of presets, for now.
HTH,

Keep up the good work.

Sounds lovely. Well done. And the presets are great.
BUT!
there is so much interface space given over to the keyboard and the wooden ears, and even a view of the space around and behind the synth. I get that the idea is verisimilitude to the original device, as far as can be done while adding the extra features, but this insanely wide interface is a problem.
I can see, just at a quick glance, how the main panel controls could be divided into two rows, and the left-hand slider bank and octave switch could be placed below that, and it would be a more compact, screen-friendly design that would also allow for larger knobs and labels (always a complaint I see about Cherry Audio synths are the size and readability of knob/slider position).
HTH.
Keep up the good work.

It sounds lovely, but I am disappointed that I have to turn off the unwanted reverb on every patch, there is no way I can see to disable it.

Just hot out, off the hands of the Cherry Audio peoples; this instrument isn't going to be ignored. Especially that there were but only 50 out there when it came out in the late 70's; this virtual instrument has been now passed virtually into the hands of a 21th Century generation which will discover the impressive polyphony of this mega semi modular synth. Plus the extras added features that weren't then part of it. Up to you to discover; and for such a price, go for it.
