Halvyn H-3200 — Harmonizer
Halvyn H-3200 · intelligent harmonizer · restored from unit no. 3200/C022 · Halvyn, United Kingdom, 1996
The restorer's note
The harmonizer that knew the key — building diatonic chords from a single line, the sound of a certain 90s lead. Where the P-3000 shifts blindly, this one listens. Restored with its harmony intelligence and its period grain both intact.

Listening
Demonstration recordings, prepared at the bench.
The choir, plainly
A line in A Minor, alone, then joined from five seconds by Voice 1 at +3rd and Voice 2 at +5th — the harmony cut to the key, at 50 % Mix.
0:00 / 0:30
Three voices, built
The harmony assembled one Voice at a time: +3rd at five seconds, +5th at eleven, -Oct at seventeen. Voice 1 then lifts to +Oct and the chord opens.
0:00 / 0:30
The spread, pushed
Detune at 50 cents and Delay at 50 milliseconds smear the two voices around the line. Formant sits at −12 semitones, jumps to +12 at sixteen seconds, and returns to 0.
