Square4 Riddim... in HARMOR? | (FL Studio Mega Tutorial)

This video shows a bunch of tips on how to recreate Square4 inside of Harmor, how to create traditional Riddim Drum structures, and shares ways to push further from a typical Square4 Riddim sound.
I use FL Studio, but some of the later tips are still very useful for creating Riddim/Trench in any other DAW. Check the timestamps and watch any parts you don't know!

*QUICK CORRECTION/NOTE:* When using some Phaser modes (it's not all of them), you have to set the offset back a little bit. (I found around 120 to be good enough) If you aren't sure, enable the metronome and set the offset to where it sounds good. No idea why this happens, but yeah. *Also:* You can use Reason Rack effects alongside this, that's totally okay! I don't make the rules, *you're* the producer. Also also checkout ColorTint's music, I used their song "For a Minute" throughout the entire video, they're really small and I love their music to bits ❤

It is amazing how after over a decade, no other synths do what Harmor does. I don't know why additive synths like Harmor, Razor, etc., aren't more popular. I prefer them to wavetable synths IMO.

[@FloureDistrict]

I would KILL for more synths like Harmor. I need someone to make Harmor's Phaser as an audio effect I would pay SO much money

[@andrewmaclean9810]

Honestly I think it comes down to how inviting the UI is. My first time opening Serum I pretty much understood what was going on and how it worked immediately. Yes it took years to master but the synth is very easy for even a beginner to grasp. My first time opening Harmor, forget it lol i was LOST

[@z00mer_music]

Vital can do, it's like combination of Harmor and Serum.

[@pro_gemer]

I never fully understood harmor but THIS. You are criminally underrated its actually crazy

[@notzach7162]

Ryxtell was an underground riddim artist and used this method for years! It was so awesome watching him make riddim in harmor. Absolutely beautiful plugin.

[@FloureDistrict]

Just checked them out, never heard of them but their stuff is really cool!

[@musicbyblackyt]

i absolutely love this style of learning, seriously. this is amazing, please keep doing more tutorials like this!

[@mrawesome25100]

Always struggled to wrap my head around harmor, this is very helpful !

[@DimSound]

[@RicoLee27]

Very cool sound and tips. Gonna try this out

[@shawnralkoshawlkostudios6908]

[@EPsoundsEst2K17]

hi ireyte

[@TK3R_Garageband]

0:00 thought you were the daily dose of internet guy when you said hello. startled me a bit lol

[@FloureDistrict]

Don't tell them who I really am I'm hiding from the shorts reacts channels

[@whiteboymagic97]

FL also has a stock disperser within patcher. I think it’s a little further in the list but it’s a decent disperser!!!

[@whiteboymagic97]

Also final product was sick! I never thought of using a phaser a volume automation!

[@krisztianstelczer9479]

Brooo that phaser speed chart is so fuckin usefulll thankss a ton

[@dizzydavis6118]

truuust thanks!!!

[@Randy-nb6fw]

epic video tyvm

[@Rollthered]

Don't use reverb natively, use something more controlled like a convolution and you can get even cooler sounds!! Fun tip i wanted to share, you also can get better mixing with a more controlled verb. :D

[@H_The_Musician]

This is a very good video and It’s very good you’re heavily encouraging people to try this for themselves and not copying lol.

[@FloureDistrict]

That's the main issue I see with tutorials nowadays and it drives me crazy. You don't learn by copying!

[@H_The_Musician]

@@FloureDistrict very true

[@ardan981]

MPhaser set to 100% wet is free and (as far as I know) actually identical to disperser :) just play around with phaser mode for more pronounced dispersion effects

[@PotassiumCat6163]

This drop made me boogie

[@LeifLanglieFang]

good tutorial

[@offsetemusic]

5:12 on FL there's also a patcher preset called disperser! nice video btw! never thought of using harmor to make square*4 bass

[@FloureDistrict]

Me neither! I kinda stumbled upon it by accident, but then realized how powerful it was with Harmor's unique features

[@kobodub]

yooo the disclaimer is goat

[@alphaoscillator]

"Diopser" is a free Disperser alternative, with even more settings!

[@alexanderkeffer2107]

😂😂😂 that lfo in the into

[@chvpvh]

Очень хорошая подача

[@rreapercat]

dude this was so good, going to be using this tips fr

[@alexanderkeffer2107]

Oh man… if I can’t copy you who even AM I?!

[@lifeOfKamil]

thank you for the video! I was wondering, what’s that analyzer plugin at the top of the screen at the end of the vid?

[@FloureDistrict]

MiniMeters! It's $10 on itch.io, but there's also a free demo

[@lifeOfKamil]

@@FloureDistrict thank you, I’ll check it out!

[@joshuacook4887]

Oi I know u might be using sarcasm when u say Harmor in ableton is sacrilegious, but if u aren’t do u mind explaining why ? My buddy gos on and on about how he wants to get fl just so he can run it as a plug-in through ableton to use harmor. Just very curious :)

[@FloureDistrict]

Oh I was saying this just because it's an ImageLine plugin, and Ableton is FL's direct competitor haha It's not like bad or anything! I was just messing around

[@joshuacook4887]

@@FloureDistrict ohhhh ok, I figured it was some sorta joke lol, thanks for the awesome vidja ! Super well done 🫶

[@andreyroque]

name of the visualizer of audio in the end of the video??

[@alphaoscillator]

minimeters

[@SlyceCaik]

squiddim

[@prowarren517]

Main takeaway for me is that the author wants us to rip his harmor patch exactly as is

[@xsploit]

its not the same thing i have the sqaure4 serum wt
