The RMI Harmonic Synthesizer is a rare and innovative electronic instrument created by Rocky Mount Instruments (RMI) in the mid-1970s. Unlike most synthesizers, it uses additive synthesis, allowing users to shape sounds by controlling individual harmonics, resulting in rich, complex tones. This advanced method of sound generation made it unique for its time. Though lesser-known, the RMI Harmonic Synthesizer remains a sought-after instrument for its pioneering technology and its contribution to the world of electronic music.
