MCharacter is a harmonic processing plugin by MeldaProduction that gives direct control over the levels of the first 32 harmonics of monophonic audio such as vocals, bass, trumpet and saxophone.
MCharacter works in the spectral domain, so you can adjust the harmonic content of a sound directly instead of only shaping its formants with an equalizer. It is aimed at monophonic material, and the developer names vocals, bass, trumpet and saxophone as typical sources. Beyond adjusting existing overtones, the plugin can synthesize harmonics and tones that are missing from the source, such as a sub-octave, using two graphs.
MCharacter gives you level control over the first 32 harmonics of a monophonic signal. Because harmonics follow pitch, the plugin tracks pitch to keep these changes consistent as the note moves.
The synthesis side lets you add harmonics and tones that are not present in the input, or remove harmonics entirely. Two simple graphs define how much of each element you want, which makes it possible to generate a sub-octave or rebuild a missing partial.
Four modulators can each act as an LFO, level follower, MIDI or audio triggered ADSR envelope, randomizer or pitch detector, and they can listen to the plugin's side-chain. Four multiparameters let you control several settings at once and morph between saved banks of settings.
The oscillator section mixes predefined shapes, custom waveforms drawn in the MeldaProduction Envelope System, a step sequencer and algorithmic post-processing, with a harmonic mode for direct control of overtone content. A smart randomization button can walk through settings, and automatic gain compensation keeps output loudness close to the input when you compare presets.
