What is Harmonix?
Harmonix is a plugin for PhotoShop plugin compatible graphics
applications. With Harmonix you can create complex harmonic wave
forms with a high level of configurability and likewise
quality.
Harmonix allows you to fully configure the first ten harmonic
frequencies which is more than enough for most situations.
Who could use Harmonix?
The easiest answer would be "Everybody who wants to." and to be
honest that's actually the answer I'll give you :)
Harmonix was created out of a personal need to visualize harmonic
wave forms for my study and personal interest in sound. So far I've
used it for just that but also for graphical work and such.
So, what does it actually do?
To fully understand what Harmonix does one should have at the very
least a basic understanding of the superimposing of waves and
harmonic frequencies. For the uninitiated I'll explain a bit.
Superimposing is basically another way of saying "adding up" within
the context of this plugin (and in fact most programs that work
with wave mixing).
Harmonix frequencies are basically frequencies which are a factor
higher than the "base" frequency. The base frequency could be any
random frequency.
The thought behind mixing these is the fact that it is possible to
generate any wave form by simply creating harmonic wave forms. Most
people will have heard of saw tooth and block forms, these too are
easily created by mixing harmonics.
These are of course not perfect descriptions but to go in depth
into these subjects would be unnecessary to say the least. If you'd
like to know more about this then there are literally hundreds of
books available that go in depth on this subject.
Cool! Now how do I get started?
Just follow the instructions on installing and you'll be off in
minutes :)
