    Flexible Harmonic Shaping

    HoRNet Harmonics is a free waveshaper plugin based on Chebyshev polynomials, allowing non-linear processing to shape the harmonic content of an audio signal. The plugin includes 10 harmonic generators, each with adjustable amplitude and phase, controlling how harmonics influence the sound.

    Creative Sound Design Possibilities

    With its ability to manipulate harmonics, HoRNet Harmonics can create a variety of distortion effects. Users can completely remove the fundamental frequency for a “broken record” effect or explore different tonal shaping options using the provided presets.

    System Compatibility

    HoRNet Harmonics is available for PC and Mac in VST3, AU, and AAX formats.
