In Session Audio Fluid Harmonics
Why is it called FLUID HARMONICS? “FLUID” because of the flowing sound created with the three arpeggiators. “HARMONICS” because the library features harmonics from 30 guitars (complemented by 100 synth sounds).
Fluid Harmonics is an instrument designed to create richly layered melodic patterns with ease.
Why guitar harmonics?
They have a familiar yet mystical sound to them. A purity and clarity. You can tell it’s guitar – but there’s something a bit different – something special. More sparkle. More chime. With a slew of effects, sound shaping tools and autoplay rhythmic and melodic features at your fingertips, Fluid Harmonics can go from from organic to hybrid to electronic with ease.
TRIPLE PLAY ENGINE
The idea had been rattling in our heads for a while. Years actually. What if we could create an instrument that allowed the user to:
- Select three sound sources to layer together
- Arpeggiate the three sound sources with independent patterns, rates and playback modes
- Shape and effect the three sound sources independent of one another
- Select any effect directly from the interface (and swap their positions on the fly)
- Humanize the three sound sources independent of one another
Triple PlayWith nearly six months of development, we did it! We look forward to putting it in your hands.

All acoustic guitar and bass guitar sample sets are presented in versions played with fingers AND with a pick, bringing the guitar sample set count to 44.
All guitars feature triple round robin cycling for natural variation.
To improve playability all guitars were tuned to allow samples to be recorded below and above the standard range of the instruments.
