Acoustic instruments and complex sounds often carry a mix of harmonic and inharmonic elements. While the harmonics enrich your sound, the inharmonic frequencies create unpleasant sounds. Traditionally, removing these unwanted frequencies required manual equalization—tedious and time-consuming. HarmoniQ revolutionizes this process with real-time analysis and automatic filtering, making it the perfect inharmonic equalizer for your audio needs. Key Features: - Real-Time Audio Analysis and Filtering: HarmoniQ automatically analyzes incoming audio, detects the fundamental frequency, and identifies inharmonic frequencies. Our advanced algorithm then applies up to 50 precise filters to eliminate these unwanted frequencies, ensuring a clearer, more refined sound. This advanced approach to harmonic equalization guarantees your audio tracks retain their natural warmth while removing disruptive elements. - Adjustable Effect Amount: Control the intensity of the filtering process with the Effect Amount knob. Scale the reduction of inharmonic frequencies from subtle adjustments to aggressive filtering: 100% Effect Amount: up to -18dB cut per filter. 50% Effect Amount: up to -9dB cut per filter. Balance the natural character of your sound with the need for a focused audio signal, enhancing your harmonic equalization efforts. - Smart Learn Mode: HarmoniQ simplifies setup with two Learn Mode options: Auto: The algorithm stops learning when the number of filters stabilizes for 10 seconds. On Stop: Learning ceases when you press the stop button in your DAW. These modes ensure the harmonic equalization process is as efficient and user-friendly as possible. - Delta Function: Evaluate the impact of filtering by auditioning the difference between the input signal and the filtered output signal. Fine-tune your adjustments with confidence, ensuring your harmonic equalization is spot on. - ByPass: Temporarily disable HarmoniQ to compare the original and processed signals. - Reset Button: Restart the entire process, including fundamental and inharmonic frequency detection and filter application. These features make it easy to manage your harmonic equalization workflow without losing track of your original audio quality. - Load and Save: Save and recall your favourite settings to streamline your workflow and maintain consistency across projects. This is particularly useful for harmonic equalization tasks that require precision and repeatability. - Frequency Range Controls: HarmoniQ now includes “Lower Limit” and “Upper Limit” controls to restrict the processing to a specific frequency range. This allows for more precise control over which part of the audio spectrum is being equalized, providing even greater flexibility and accuracy in your sound shaping. what our customers say about the HorNet HarmoniQ: "Unmissable in any mastering chain…Just gives that final perfect professional polish !" "This equalizer offers excellent time saving, and the result is very relevant" " ... great plugin at a price that could easily be double ..."
