The Harmonync’s Reconnaissance

This is an exploratory session recorded on March 2014 to test the software under development.
I quickly arranged the song and I released it as a demo to show how you can use the Harmonync.

Pure Data is a bit slow in updating the graphical interface. Sometimes, some tones are not displayed in the H-Stack because they are too short and quick.

The original performance was MIDI recorded on Logic© Pro.
What you hear in the video is the output of the Harmonync’s built-in DSP with a good convolution reverb added by Logic.

Here is the clean Harmonync’s output, just to better understand:
