Harmless is an additive synthesizer doing subtractive synthesis. Or if
you prefer, a subtractive synthesizer powered by an additive synthesis
engine.

You may ask: why?
For several reasons. To begin with, there are too many subtractive
synthesizers already, often bragging about being virtual analog. This one
is digital, and proud to be. Everything is fake, the tone generator, the
filter its resonance, the phaser, all performed on the harmonics, before
partials are computed.

Now, how its synthesized shouldnt matter after all, if the result
sounds subtractive. But Harmless is more than a proof of concept, it allows
fine control that wouldnt be possible through classic subtractive
synthesis. Filtering and phasing can be assigned unusual shapes slopes,
something normally only possible through offline digital filters. Filter
slopes can even be defined in Hz instead of octaves. Finally, you get
control on each partials frequency, creating timbres definitely impossible
using common synthesis methods.

Harmless, for less harmonics

Again, Harmless is additive doing subtractive. Harmonics are not produced
to be filtered, the timbre is filtered before being generated. This may
sound like a detail, but generating sounds this way offers a lot more
advantages than drawbacks.

Not necessarily less efficient

Powered by a highly optimized, multithreaded additive engine, CPU usage
is comparable to the one of traditional subtractive synthesizers,
especially for low passed timbres. Voices may be generating hundreds of
harmonics in parallel and still not overload the CPU.

Because less is more

Harmless was limited by design. We dont have any problem with complex
synthesizers (we made several), but theyre not for everyone. Here, no
tabs, no hidden controls, no multipoint envelopes, all features are visible
at once, and color grouped. Over 100 parameters, most of which being
automatable, are laid over a clear GUI.

Harmless, only in appearance

Simpler to program, yet packed with evil features. Under the hood, you
will find unique options, like linking the phasers output to partials
frequencies. The LFO section can act as a special modulation source,
linking the phasers width to the velocity, or the pitch to the filters
envelope.

Of course, Harmless also offers features typically unique to additive
synthesis, like its automatable harmonic mask.

Harmless is also packed with effects, the usual chorus, delay reverb,
but also a multiband compressor/limiter powered by Maximus itself. It also
inherited the powerful unison from Sytrus.
In conclusion, our goal was to create a subtractive synthesizer with a
unique twist, that also was easy to program, and we believe it succeeded.
