If we want it to hold a sound until release we will need to create a looping envelope that sounds natural. If you hold it you will see that it naturally loops if you hold it longer than the duration of the recording. You should now be able to activate the recording through Harmor by clicking on a key in the GUI with the mouse, or your MIDI controller. You should see a visual representation of the audio file. Then, in the Harmor GUI, click on the “IMG” tab, and drag your file into the window. Save your file somewhere where you can drag it into Harmor. We’ll do this to have the vocal sound start at note activation of a note in Harmor. Once you have the recorded vocal, take a look at the recoding and trim the extra silent space and unwanted recordings at the beginning and end of the file. Not all vocals will migrate smoothly to a different pitch, so there is a bit of trial and error required to find a good sound to use. Keep the modification of the natural pitch variance in the vocal to a minimum for a more natural sound. You can use some type of pitch correction/detection software like Newtone, Pitcher, Autotune or Melodyne to find or move a vocal to C (even if you only have the demo version of Newtone you should be able to export the vocal to a wav file from the playlist). The first thing to do is to record or use a vocal track and find a C note if you want the keys to be properly mapped (you don’t have to do this, but for purpose of manipulating the sound and making a synth-like preset, it really is the way to go in my opinion).

There are so many other modifications you can do with the audio files in Harmor as well, such as manipulating the time envelope to create stutters, holds, and reverses, even wobbly sounds. Harmor’s resynthesis engine allows you to do some pretty spectacular things with audio files, and one of the best is the ability to create chords out of vocals. Using Image Line’s Harmor to Create Vocal Chords I thought I would provide some tutorials on how to create some interesting vocals other than your typical delay and reverb.
