As my experiments in sound design and audio programming have progressed, I have made a number of attempts at creating various styles of synthesizers, using C++ with Juce, as well as tools such as Kontakt to create wavetable synths using original (non sampled) sounds by routing Kontakt generated oscillations through wavetables. I have also combined these attempts with various VST based FX programs I have written using C++ and Juce. A number of examples of my instruments, FX, and presets, can be found on my web site at www.witchpig.co.uk.

All the sounds generated for Harmulator were also run through my free Siberian Hamster distortion plugin, before being sampled, to create some distinctly tortured tones. The four sets of samples can be further enhanced through either the ADSR controls, or by adding even more distortion and reverse reverb through the instrument’s XY pad.

Harmulator is now available as a free Kontakt Player Instrument!

The download will appear as an install option in Native Access, which you can download for free from Native Instruments along with the free Kontakt Player: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/samplers/kontakt-8-player/

The sounds were created by running some of my free soft synth patches through my free Siberian Hamster plugin. The GUI image was created by training Leonardo AI on Joel Peter Witkin's photography.
