Konstantin Torsten Schutz has released Harmonitron, available for $2.99.
Not just a tremolo, a harmonic tremolo. Split-band anti-phase swirl, tempo svnc, stereo spread Standalone and as an AUv3 plugin.
Harmonitron is a harmonic tremolo. The rich, swirling amp “vibrato” made famous by early-1960s brownface amplifiers.
A normal tremolo just pulses your volume up and down. A harmonic tremolo goes deeper: it splits your sound into a low band and a high band, then sweeps them in OPPOSITE phase. As the lows swell, the highs dip and back again. That contrary motion is what gives Harmonitron its lush, watery, almost phaser-like character that an ordinary tremolo can’t reach.
Turn the Voice control and the effect morphs smoothly from a classic in-phase tremolo all the way to a full harmonic swirl. Drop it on guitars, keys synths, pads, drums, or a whole mix. Standalone, or as an Audio Unit (AUv3) effect inside GarageBand, AUM, Logic, and other hosts.
