Swarm Harmony

Swarm Harmony 1.0 is now available for download via the following link.

If you don't have Max MSP then you'll need Max MSP Runtime in order to use it. You can get that here.

I've added some new features to the patch that I'll try my best to explain, though its really designed with intuition in mind.

Pitch
The harmonies are modified using the Frequency Spread control. With the Frequency Spread at 0 all harmonies will produce the same pitch. As this is increased, each will spread by a factor of 2x.

This factor is controlled by the next fader and ranges from 0 to 4 with the button to the left resetting it to the default of 2.

Amplitude
The amplitude control is unchanged from the original design, allowing you to change the Amp. Spread, Harmony Gain and Output level.

There is, however, now the option to mute individual harmonies including the original signal.


The patch currently only works in mono and I see no reason to change that considering what I use it for. However if I get some requests for a mono-stereo version then I'll most likely oblige. Anyone looking for a full stereo version would be better off just loading the patch twice.
