Logical VHD Harmonics Emulations (GENESIS SX)

AnalogX – Logical VHD Harmonics Series-X (GENESIS)
Price: £8
Sampled at 192kHz / Modelled at 48kHz

Powerful Harmonics. Zero Subtlety. Just Energy.
Meet Logical VHD Harmonics, a brand-new Series-X release powered by near-analog modelling for Genesis. Based on the rare and characterful preamp section of a respected British high-end signal processor, this release is all about attitude. Specifically, we’ve captured and refined the Vintage Harmonic Drive behaviour that lets you blend clean signal with custom harmonic shaping—giving your sources more edge, energy, and focus.

What Is Series-X?
Series-X represents our most advanced modelling approach to date. These one-off releases push the limits of what’s possible with virtual gear emulation — featuring deeper model resolution, enhanced dynamic response, and more complex harmonic behaviour than ever before.

Due to the depth of the Series-X modelling process, CPU usage may be higher than standard Genesis profiles. We recommend offline bouncing for optimal workflow where needed. Genesis Series 5 profiles already deliver near-analog performance with excellent CPU efficiency — Series-X exists for those rare moments where you want to hear the very edge of what’s possible.

These models are released sparingly and represent the bleeding edge of AnalogX R&D.

A Brief History

The inspiration for this profile comes from a boutique British preamp that combined clean Class A gain staging with a switchable VHD (Variable Harmonic Drive) circuit. Designed to offer a palette from subtle warmth to gritty transformer-like saturation, it was a favourite for both tracking and mixing engineers who needed controllable harmonics without fuzziness or phase smearing.

What You Get:

• Split Harmonics – A balanced blend of 2nd and 3rd order harmonics. Perfect for adding heft and musical grit to otherwise flat or peaky digital sources.
• 2nd Harmonics – More subtle and rounded harmonic tone for warmth without excessive edge.

Where To Use It:

• Flat or sterile recordings that need to sound “recorded through hardware.”
• Vocals, drums, bass, guitars—anywhere that needs to pop with more harmonic weight.
• As a sweetener on mix buses or parallel tracks for extra vibe and thickness.

Series-X Power – Use Responsibly
As with all Series-X models, this emulation goes beyond standard profiling with enhanced depth, detail, and realism—but at a cost. CPU usage is significantly higher than our Series 5 range due to deeper modelling and high oversampling during development. For those on limited systems, we recommend offline rendering to fully enjoy Series-X without compromise.

Series-X is not a replacement for our core Genesis range.
It’s an elite tier—built for one-off creative releases, cutting-edge R&D, and special requests. While Series 5 already delivers unmatched sound-for-CPU performance, Series-X lets us push the boundaries of what’s possible, no matter the cost.

Pricing and Availability
Logical VHD Harmonics Series-X is available now for £8. Consider it the cost of a coffee… only this one’s brewed with voltage.
