Frantz – :
Very good for generating ideas. There are a few small missing things that would make it a ten. Like the ability to drag and select notes to compliment the single select or select all modes. The ability to make manual edits to note lengths. But the TAP feature makes up for them.
Andrew – :
I have been looking for a program like this for a while. My favourite part of this plugin is that after generating random midi data (within customisable musical parameters) you can drag and drop the data into Logic so it appears in the piano roll instead of it being stuck inside the plugin. This feature makes it 10 stars for me.
ichi – :
Convenient but a little difficult to use
The function of LOCK is very good and you can play properly without thinking about anything
Paul – :
Very impressed with this – has some unique features over and above the many other midi helper tools I own – like being able to lock some notes in the harvest grid and then randomize the unlocked notes from a pool of notes I select. Can even use DAW automation to trigger the randomization. A great plugin at a great price.
Krzysztof – :
I love MIDI tools, I use them a lot. Harvest is really great MIDI generator with nice features especially MIDI tap, MIDI drag and notes randomization.
Wolfgang – :
This is different than similar products in that it lets you concentrate on the rhythm. Which is fantastic if you got a good rhythmic feeling but cannot play keyboard!!
Sheldon – :
Harvest is a great MIDI sequence generator that can help generating interesting melodic ideas that I might not be able to think of otherwise. A very useful tool indeed.
