Nobody wants to edit spreadsheets of harmonic values. Well, some might, but most do not. Therefore we need ways to make sweeping volume and pitch changes across harmonics.

There are 3 things to keep in mind:

  • Under the hood, every harmonic from every voice has independent volume and pitch, as well as pitch and volume LFOs.
  • That control is then controlled by the mental model of the synth UI — for example, you can shape overall notes with the Envelopes section or modulate volumes with the Trem section.
  • Not every control in Sine Machine is “per harmonic” or even per voice — for example the trem sharpness will apply to all harmonics. It’s a powerful synth, but that power has limits.
