Harmony Bloom by Mario Nieto (MIDI plugin)

[oobesan]

Is there a way to make this thing play notes in random order?

Yes. Kinda. See 03:48:



;tldr Increase the number of notes dramatically (e..g. 50), decrease the probability to low (e.g. 20%) and then turn on the randomized octave switches (under the settings gear icon), and you will have yourself a completely randomized sequence that essentially will never repeat itself.

Awesome!

Thanks for that. Not ideal but it makes it more useful.

Hello everyone! I've contacted Mario about this issue, but i just want to know if anyone has a possible solution to the problem i'm facing:

When i use Harmony Bloom with Avenger 2, i get the "All MIDI Notes Off" message, which cuts off all sound. I’ve tried using Diva, Repro, and a lot of other synths, and this issue only occurs with Avenger 2.

I’ve contacted Andre from Vengeance support, and unfortunately, there is no way to fix this. If Harmony Bloom sends all "MIDI Note Off" messages, they cut the sound of Avenger 2.

Just for context, I’m using Ableton Live 12 on a Windows 11 machine.

I’ve downloaded a ton of M4L devices and placed them before Avenger 2 or in a “middle” MIDI track that receives MIDI from Harmony Bloom, but i haven’t been able to filter the CC 123 message. Everything works fine when i filter pitch bend, notes, program changes, etc., but the "All Notes Off" message still comes through.

I absolutely love Avenger 2, and i have tons of beautiful sounds that work wonderfully with Harmony Bloom.

Thank you in advance, and i hope someone can figure this out!

Well, HB is the only thing we have in common use so I can't help. I'd suggest you try it with another DAW (Reaper has a small footprint) and see if that also happens with HB and Avenger 2. Or maybe try putting a (dummy) plugin that can pass through MIDI between HB and Avenger and see if that works.

Thank you for the reply. I'll try it in Reaper tomorrow. I’ve tried to insert a filter and a dummy plugin in Live, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work. I’m in a Live environment, I have an APC64 controller and a Minilab 3, so everything is mapped, but the Live MIDI workflow is really strange.

Just tried this with each bar going to different voices in OsTIrus. Mesmerizing.

Hi
Anyone haver issue loading Harmony Bloom in Reaper or Cubase? Both fail to load the plugin, v1.3.5.

I can reactivate it in Cubase, but it fails to produce anything and ends up back in the blocklist.

Any thoughts?

new licensing system, wasnt the old one an offline system?

Looks horrible to me. Definitely not something I’d get.

There is something wrong with this release. It's unusable on Reaper and Cubase
I had to roll back to previous version.

Yes. He has changed it to a 30 day license that you have to keep reactivating!? There is so much wrong with a DRM like that, it's hard to believe it's the same dev.
