The tELHARMONIC is a Multi-Voice, Multi-Algorithm synthesizer module inspired by Thaddeus Cahill's Telharmonium instrument which was named for the music hall considered by some to be the location of the first electronic music concerts. The module was coded by Soundhack's Tom Erbe with the goal of presenting three historically important pioneering electronic tone generation techniques less often implemented within the modular synthesizer.
The three tELHARMONIC algorithms are:
N = Noise. Digital, tunable noise whihc passes thru a fliter and shares the Tonic and Degree parameters with the other algorithms.
H = Harmonic. 3-voice additive synthesizer. Tonic controls fundamental pitch of all three oscillators, Interval detunes them, from unisono over 5ths, octaves to triads. Degree places the chord in a scale. With each chord change a gate is generated. Selected harmonics can be frozen with the Lock function and remain static, similar to formants, and aren't affected by the filter.
P = Phase modulation. Generates very wide PM sounds and the filter has strong effect. Especially in combination with the phase modulation the FM input creates deep, hovering jet sounds.
Said filter has parameter with the unusual names Centroid and Flux.
Already interested in electronics at the early age of 12, Tony Rolando learned everything about circuits and musical instrument design by himself. He worked for Moog Music for a while and some sabbatical years, he founded Make Noise in 2008 in Asheville, North Carolina. By now, his reinterpretation of the Serge DUSG, Maths, is probably the most ubiquitous module in the eurorack universe ever. Make Noise continues to surprise with new and inspiring modules, including collaborations with Tom Erbe of Soundhack.
