Description
Neptune is a large-scale Harmor preset library from Nois2, containing 200 patches for FL Studio's additive synthesizer. It follows Venus Vol 1 as the next step in the Nois2 Harmor series, with a significantly expanded scope that covers melodic, rhythmic, and textural categories in much greater depth.
The library leans into expressive, organic-sounding patches that go beyond typical EDM staples. The 15 flute presets, 16 mallets, 15 guitar emulations, and 15 vox patches give the pack a distinctive character well-suited for producers who want Harmor sounds with acoustic warmth and melodic range.
The 39 keys and 22 plucks cover the harmonic and rhythmic midground, while 19 bass presets and 8 dedicated 808 patches anchor the low end for trap and hip-hop work. With 200 presets spanning 14 categories, Neptune is Nois2's most comprehensive Harmor collection.
The organic-toned patches leverage Harmor's audio resynthesis capabilities — instruments like flutes, guitars, and vocals are particularly well-suited to the additive engine. The result is a library that works across electronic, trap, hip-hop, house, and dubstep while offering tonal range rarely found in free Harmor packs.

Tips
- Layering Synths and Pads: Combine different synth and pad presets to create rich, textured soundscapes. Experiment with panning and volume levels to achieve a balanced mix.
- Customizing Percs: Use the percussive presets as a starting point and tweak the attack, decay, and pitch to fit the rhythm of your track. Layering multiple percussive sounds can add complexity and depth.
- Vocal Effects: Apply reverb, delay, and modulation effects to the vocal presets to create unique vocal textures. These can be used as background elements or focal points in your mix.
- Melodic Plucks: Utilize the pluck presets for creating catchy melodies or arpeggios. Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to shape the sound and make it stand out in the mix.
- Guitar Integration: Combine the guitar presets with amp simulators and effects to create realistic guitar tones. Use EQ and compression to fit the guitar sounds into your mix seamlessly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Neptune differ from Venus Vol 1?
Neptune is roughly twice the size of Venus Vol 1 at 200 presets vs 92. It also adds several organic-sounding categories not in Venus — flutes, mallets, guitar emulations, and vox patches — giving it a broader tonal range and a more distinct sound character.
Do I need to own both Harmor packs separately?
Yes — Venus Vol 1 and Neptune are separate downloads. They complement each other but neither requires the other. Both use the same FST format and install the same way in FL Studio.
What synth is required to use these presets?
Neptune requires Harmor, Image-Line's additive synthesizer for FL Studio. Harmor is included in FL Studio Producer Edition and above, or can be purchased separately. The presets use the FST format and will not load in other synthesizers.
