HoRNet HarmoniQ Version 1.1.3 Update: A Revolutionary Tool for Audio Clarity and Precision
We are excited to announce the release of HarmoniQ version 1.1.3, the latest update to this groundbreaking plugin that helps musicians and audio engineers remove inharmonic frequencies from their tracks with remarkable precision. HarmoniQ is a state-of-the-art tool that is designed to significantly improve the clarity and quality of your audio by eliminating the disruptive inharmonic elements that often muddy up complex sounds and acoustic instruments.
HarmoniQ is an automatic equalizer specifically designed to identify and remove inharmonic frequencies from your audio. In many acoustic instruments and complex sounds, a mix of harmonic and inharmonic elements is present. Harmonics, the fundamental building blocks of musical tones, enrich and enhance the sound. On the other hand, inharmonic frequencies—which are not in tune with the harmonic series—can introduce unwanted artifacts, resulting in a boxy sound or a muddiness that detracts from the overall quality of the mix.
Traditionally, the process of removing inharmonic frequencies required manual equalization. Engineers would spend hours painstakingly identifying and attenuating problematic frequencies, often relying on their ears to make adjustments. This process was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. HarmoniQ revolutionizes this workflow by offering real-time analysis and automatic filtering, making it the perfect tool for achieving clean, focused sound with minimal effort.
At its core, HarmoniQ uses an advanced algorithm that automatically analyzes the incoming audio, detects the fundamental frequency of the sound, and identifies inharmonic elements. This sophisticated technology is capable of applying up to 50 precise filters to selectively remove inharmonic frequencies without affecting the desired tonal characteristics of the sound. The result is a clearer, more refined sound that retains its natural warmth while eliminating unwanted noise and interference.
Unlike traditional equalizers that rely on broad frequency cuts, HarmoniQ works with an unparalleled level of precision, targeting only the frequencies that are causing issues. The automatic nature of the plugin means you no longer have to manually adjust settings or sweep through frequencies to find problem areas. The algorithm does all the hard work for you, ensuring that your audio stays natural, organic, and dynamic while simultaneously cutting through the clutter.
Even though HarmoniQ is an automatic tool, it still provides users with the control they need to fine-tune the filtering process. The Effect Amount knob allows you to adjust the intensity of the filtering, giving you full control over the amount of inharmonic reduction applied to your track. Whether you want to make subtle corrections or go for an aggressive reduction of inharmonic frequencies, this knob lets you strike the perfect balance between preserving the natural character of the sound and achieving a more focused, precise audio signal.
With this adjustable control, you can easily dial in the right amount of filtering for any type of audio. Whether you’re working on vocals, guitar, drums, or synths, HarmoniQ gives you the flexibility to address inharmonic frequencies across a wide range of instruments and styles.
One of the standout features of HarmoniQ is its Smart Learn Mode, which makes the plugin setup incredibly simple and intuitive. With this mode, HarmoniQ automatically adapts to the audio you’re working with, eliminating the need for tedious adjustments or time-consuming analysis.
There are two learning modes:
Auto Mode: In this mode, the algorithm begins learning automatically as soon as you start playing audio. After 10 seconds of stable filtering, the algorithm will stop learning and the plugin will apply its settings to the track. This feature ensures that HarmoniQ analyzes the audio in real time and adjusts to the needs of your sound, making it a hassle-free experience for users.
On Stop Mode: This mode allows the user to control when the learning process stops. When you press the stop button in your DAW, the learning process halts, locking in the settings that the plugin has adjusted to.
This intelligent learning feature makes HarmoniQ highly efficient and quick to set up, ensuring that users can focus on their creative process rather than spending time tweaking settings and constantly reanalyzing the track.
In this latest update, version 1.1.3, we’ve added a series of improvements and bug fixes designed to enhance the user experience and optimize performance across different platforms. Here are the key changes:
Fixed UI loading issue on macOS: In this update, we’ve resolved a problem where the user interface would sometimes fail to load on macOS systems. This fix ensures smoother and more reliable operation, allowing users to seamlessly access the plugin’s features.
Fixed spacebar functionality on Windows: There was an issue where pressing the spacebar to control the DAW wouldn’t work when the plugin UI was open on Windows. This has now been fixed, restoring standard DAW controls even with the plugin interface active.
Tooltip display on the chart: We’ve added a helpful tooltip display on the HarmoniQ chart, activated by clicking on the chart. This feature provides additional information about the frequencies being affected, making it easier for users to understand the plugin’s real-time analysis.
The HarmoniQ 1.1.3 update is available free of charge for all existing users, ensuring that everyone has access to the latest features and improvements. Users can download the update via the HoRNet DoIn platform or by logging into the My Account section of our website.
This update is part of our commitment to providing continuous improvements and maintaining the highest level of quality and usability for all of our plugins. By listening to user feedback and consistently updating our tools, we ensure that HarmoniQ remains one of the most advanced and user-friendly plugins for inharmonic equalization.
With HarmoniQ, removing inharmonic frequencies is no longer a tedious or time-consuming task. This innovative plugin offers an automatic and precise solution to the problem of muddiness and boxiness in complex sounds, resulting in cleaner, more refined audio. Whether you’re a musician, sound engineer, or producer, HarmoniQ provides the perfect solution for improving the overall clarity and quality of your tracks.
The 1.1.3 update continues to build on this solid foundation, bringing enhanced functionality and performance to users across both macOS and Windows platforms.
