Harmonic Editor

Sample

A Renoise tool for editing a sample as a harmonic spectrum instead of as raw waveform points, using FFT/IFFT.

It is mainly meant for short, looped, synthetic material where it is more useful to shape the harmonic content directly than to draw the waveform by hand.

Reasons to use it:

  • chip-style and wavetable-like single-cycle design
  • rebuilding or refining simple synthetic waveforms
  • understanding the harmonic makeup of periodic samples
  • creating new waveforms from an empty sample slot

You can load an existing sample, analyze it into harmonics, and then reshape it by adjusting amplitude and phase per harmonic. You can also initialize an empty sample slot and build a new waveform from scratch. Or use any of the post-processing features to refine your data.

Find it in the Sample List & Editor context menus.

A shortcut can be set in Global:Tools:Show/Hide Harmonic Editor
