Just hearing how excited this synthesizer makes Savant is making me happy. LOOK HOW HAPPY HE IS EXPLAINING HOW COOL THIS SHIT IS. I can't wait for him to use that thing in new tracks. With Harmor, Savant is gonna bring himself to a whole nother level.
Aleks Turski I think he's been using harmor since the Overworld album because of his tune quantum mechanics BUT I don't think he dived that deep into it until Orakel in terms of using it in songs he would want to release.
I'm DAW shopping right now. I don't really see where the competition comes anywhere close to this as far as sound design/creation...I also comport with SeamlessR's assessment of NI's "Massive".. I love this Guy's music and conception...Thank you so Mich,Savant for explaining and demoing this SO well...
Fl studio already had everything Ableton is just now coming out with. Plug in designer like Max4live FLS already had it. Midi to audio, FLS again. Granular synthesis, FLS. I am a huge supporter of that program. Also first entry-pro level DAW (that I know of...) to include pitch correction, for live and studio use....Its just...bad ass...
To all electronic music producers out there, there is a lot of hate and criticism about whether or not we are real musicians or if we're just "conductors" because computers do the work for us. That's like saying a guitarist is not a musician because the guitar is doing all the work for them. Sure loops are a revolutionary tool that make simple sounds into a masterpiece, but there's much more to it than just adding plugins and shitting out beautiful tracks. Like a guitarist, electronic music artists take time to learn their instruments and to create music that we enjoy and love. It took me almost an entire year to reach where I am today and I still have a lot to learn. Savant discovered a very unique instrument here and chose to practice and learn it as well as possible. Sure its easy to want to be a successful big time producer and to dream big, but I believe its best to take one's talent and share it with the edm community instead of trying to make money off of it. DJing is becoming the norm, and really if artists are expecting to make it a fulltime career then they need to have true, unique talent like Savant. My point is, I really enjoy his enthusiasm and excitement because I too was ecstatic about my first synth generator experience :) It was, like he said, "orgasmic" haha! So to all those who make electronic music, don't take crap from people who think there's no talent involved and keep working hard until you can share your music with the world!
5:25 "O'daaaaaym.. imagine what I could do with this stuff. The first thing I thought, was, okay... open photoshop!" Yeah, my first thought too bro. haha, Savant is awesome!!
This synth blew me away when I was on a pirated version, it's been years since I remembered just how much I love Harmor. Bought it again yesterday and immediately, effortlessly, and quickly I made things I love and otherwise never would've. I could talk about it forever, but I'll just say... One of the tracks was just a bass synth and a single harmor patch on the tonal side, the crazy custom brickwall filter + phaser basically wrote the melody from my chords, just had to get the speed/offset right and move it around to form phrases that sound SOOOO groovy and organic, that's what inspired the bass.
This video came out right about when i first started getting into music production. Im hitting the point of deep dive nerd shit now, ten years into my journey where im trying to understand the behind the scenes workings of tools like this. I have to say, despite resynthesis and resampling becoming more mainstream nowadays, tools like harmor are still massively underrated lol
At first i didn't know if he spoke english, but after watching this i now know he does which makes it easier on me in case i ever meet him i can converse with him, really happy i found out about his music back then because it honestly helps me concentrate when i'm drawing a bunch of things, really helps with the mood to
Alek you inspire me so much. You make me see through all the "standards" that edm artists are always babling about, dissing "simplistic" instruments and software, saying "this is how it needs to be done". I've always been a strong believer in making what sounds cool to ME and not being altered bt "industry standards". You make me feel like i'm actually doing something when i'm experimenting without limitations on sounds that can be made. I'm so glad you share your theories, you changin the game nigga
Holy shit, this is awesome, I can clearly see that he is Norwegian. Like the freaking coke bottle that says "share a coke with myself" in Norwegian :D Awesomeness everywhere
Your mistake was using a mac. It's like searching for a Swiss Army knife for a cat, the cat won't help you and would have no use for a Swiss Army knife.
SAVANT! I can not wrote in english because i do a lot of wrong words so i write in french: j'adore ton travail! vraiment je t'admire! t'est un dieu de la musique ! merci pour ton travail!!
I was tempted to do that after I saw this video. I use ableton. But then I saw a quote from a producer I subscribe to on Facebook, he said "It's all about the chef, not the kitchen." Stick to your guns! Most of these VST plugins work in pretty much every DAW
He said it before, he used to have porn skins put on each and every one of his plugins, but when Future Music came along, he went and put all of that in Photoshop and just... crushed it so it wouldn't look like porn anymore.
All the sunds I use are done with harmor, I used to import only drum kits in my sounds, but I was trying to figure out how to get a pan flute sound from it, maybe via image, or custom harmonic maybe? I took it more as a challenge tough, but still wondering..
This, all day.
lol the harmor gods have come together!
I need a Seamless Savant collab stat!
@Seamless, when will you have Savant on your live streeeeem?
How did I know Seamless would be here somewhere?
The first person I thought of when Savant started talking about Harmor. lol
his mousepad is a book
so is mine
same
yeah, yours isn't?
Watching Savant doing this is like watching a child play with his favorite toy. Probably why Savant is so good and diverse. Savant all the way!
love seamless. love savant. love harmor.
How are there ANY dislikes on this? This man is the most creative producer I have ever heard.
+Pierce Hintz He's like a living iPod...
+DJ Hanzel Fucking GENIUS reference, this made my morning :^)
Just hearing how excited this synthesizer makes Savant is making me happy. LOOK HOW HAPPY HE IS EXPLAINING HOW COOL THIS SHIT IS. I can't wait for him to use that thing in new tracks. With Harmor, Savant is gonna bring himself to a whole nother level.
100% sure he's been using harmor before this video was shot
Hes already on that level is what i am sayin no h8 br0000
Aleks Turski I think he's been using harmor since the Overworld album because of his tune quantum mechanics BUT I don't think he dived that deep into it until Orakel in terms of using it in songs he would want to release.
Awesome x
savant is great
I see you all over the place. You have a great taste
Oscar Schwartz
Thank you do you like giraffe musik
Nobody loves savant's music more than savant and that's really admirable
...or really conceited.
Savant is the way.
Savant is life.
It's so cool you give us a little look in your studio! ;___; !
Loved the video, but you can't cut off Savant like that at the end!
Seamless approves.
Sometimes i would like to glimpse into Savant's head, only for knowing how fantastic his world is
I'm DAW shopping right now. I don't really see where the competition comes anywhere close to this as far as sound design/creation...I also comport with SeamlessR's assessment of NI's "Massive"..

lol at 5:10 it's like "Cameraman, are you fucking hearing this?"
Fl studio already had everything Ableton is just now coming out with.
Plug in designer like Max4live FLS already had it. Midi to audio, FLS again. Granular synthesis, FLS. I am a huge supporter of that program. Also first entry-pro level DAW (that I know of...) to include pitch correction, for live and studio use....Its just...bad ass...
6:25 This is the end of Kali 47 :D
Fabian Maire
When you hear this sound for the first time you think "how could this ever be part of a song?"
But in Kali 47 it's just amazing
:D Yes Savant is amazing
I didn't discover this beauty until I discovered Savant. I love them both!
Savant's mouse and FL skin is really something else...
Also, that Kali 47 ending. I approve.

Jacob Castillo well said, human. May the X be always with you and keep composing 👽❌
I like Aleksander, he has such positive energy. That makes me smile :)
5:25 "O'daaaaaym.. imagine what I could do with this stuff.
The first thing I thought, was, okay... open photoshop!" Yeah, my first thought too bro. haha, Savant is awesome!!
Savant cracks me up. U can tell the guy is a trip

This dude loves what he does and does it well. Respect.
Savant is amazing, thanks for this interview its the first time ive seen him chillin

Hes just having so much fun with what hes doing, Thats how music should be right there.
OH MY GOD ITS SAVANT !!!
3:00 That was actually pretty good
He reminds me to Willy Wonka. Amazing Savant, amazing music!
Alek you inspire me so much. You make me see through all the "standards" that edm artists are always babling about, dissing "simplistic" instruments and software, saying "this is how it needs to be done".

My mind is blow, my eyes have been opened.
I love Savant, and this was just an absolute treat to see. Akesander is a total-sonal genius
Holy shit, this is awesome, I can clearly see that he is Norwegian. Like the freaking coke bottle that says "share a coke with myself" in Norwegian :D Awesomeness everywhere
He is my idol..
Awesome!
I love Savant's work, it's amazing!!
Yay Savants awesome thanks for featuring him!
Harmor is amazing! Its so powerful
HOLY SHIT!! He lives in Norway :O
Savant should make more harmor tuturials :) Hes really cool I would have fun making music with him
that sound at 6:30 was at the very end of Kali 47
Oh man your such a tripper ... I love it😜
THAT is a real musician, Bravo!
Finally a video of Aleksander, with him talking in English some of us can feel a little closer to him.
I watched this stoned. What a trip!
Yea but....you ever seen the back of a 20 dollar bill man....on..WEED?1
That face from 6:25 - 6:32 gave me so much life lol
I would give anything for your to continue tutorial's Alex, you are my favorite artist of all time and my biggest inspiration. /gush
Look this genius in 2021! Like👍
"Share a Coke with Meg"
"Meg" is Norwegian and means "me". ;)
Ohhh x'D
The Torbert I dont get it hes Norwegian but sounds hes from Minnesota.
It's because people that live in Minnesota usually are from Norway/have families from Norway. The accent is Norwegian-American, I believe.
MASTER!
Love you to upload this kind of videos ^^
This dude inspires me
damn, savant showing me how harmor bass is done...
at 5:12 i was like "red claw"
I wish I could find "the Swiss Army knife of plugins" for my MAC!
Your mistake was using a mac. It's like searching for a Swiss Army knife for a cat, the cat won't help you and would have no use for a Swiss Army knife.
now it sounds like a random sound, but when mr. Savant is done making it into a song... It's not random at all
SAVANT! I can not wrote in english because i do a lot of wrong words so i write in french: j'adore ton travail! vraiment je t'admire! t'est un dieu de la musique ! merci pour ton travail!!
He's soo goofy, I always knew he loved harmor, it's the crux of his "savant" sound. Great getting to peek inside his head.
Fast forward and you get Serum. But still, Harmor all the way!
But you can't do even close to the resynthesis with serum you can with harmor
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE game themed songs !! ur a god at that
So happy I got the Signature edition coming!!!!!! :D
2:59 he looks so happy
Harmor is my favourite software synthesiser, followed by Sytrus, then AM Wavedraw.
I love his music!
First time I listen to his voice
"Megatron going into aeroplane mode"... :D Love it!
When I understood the basics of synths I started to see how most synths are all mutations of the same features. Harmor is in its own league though.
Savant is love
Savant is life
5:22
:D
Amazing. And that enthusiasm!
i love savant he is the best
BT, Aphex Twin and Richard Devine are some of my favourite artists
THAT'S WHERE THAT KALI 47 OUTRO IS FROM!!! 6:22
Gonna go back to FL studio after this vid!
I was tempted to do that after I saw this video. I use ableton. But then I saw a quote from a producer I subscribe to on Facebook, he said "It's all about the chef, not the kitchen." Stick to your guns! Most of these VST plugins work in pretty much every DAW
that's totally right...but now that I use logic I realize that FL is quite easier to use and the workflow is improved!
mmmm..."Burn: kiwi/apple" on the desk, my favorite!
5:22 Just click it, you wont regret it.
I talked to this guy in the past before he even got popular in norway... The reason? He tried to "befriend" my girlfriend (now my ex). haha!!
Ninür?
what?
Kaspar Marius Jota Ninür is Savant's girlfriend. I asked you if it was the girl you were talking about
Dang Dude
Funkadafunk haha no it was way before :) think he was 20 back then
Whats wrong with the color on his monitor.
Its the camera angle.
Nothing. He added his own skins to FL.
Neutr4lNumb3r
I don;t think that a skin thats what my computer looks like if you set it in 16 bit color.
He said it before, he used to have porn skins put on each and every one of his plugins, but when Future Music came along, he went and put all of that in Photoshop and just... crushed it so it wouldn't look like porn anymore.
this, Sytrus and Vocodex need an OSX version
yes!
6:30 Wasn't that used in Kali 47 In the end of the Outro?
Love savant! is the best!
Savant is SICK
This man.. his hand signs, his originality.. his humbleness. Big up savant
He,dyro,rob swire together in the studio...i cant even imagine.
Great video!
I think you convinced me to get this. I've been messing around with Sugar Bytes Cyclop, also really awesome.
6:28 The end of Kali 47!
More?
Keep you eyes on our channel
Future Music Magazine get madeon pls
Very nice :) Love the dude!
Harmor
I wish they would do another interview of him
Hahaha love this video, you can see btw he speaks he is passionate about music
5:54 I never knew you could cross synthesize and manipulate images' files in Harmor VSTI Plugin.... "Now I know I've seen everything."
This was actually very helpfull :) I love Savant! :)
All the sunds I use are done with harmor, I used to import only drum kits in my sounds, but I was trying to figure out how to get a pan flute sound from it, maybe via image, or custom harmonic maybe? I took it more as a challenge tough, but still wondering..
06:22 Kali 47 right there
more video of Savant .. pleasssseeeeee !!!! :)
