I've been doing Roberts Chromatic Harmony Course religiously for that last year today I am a different musician. 100X better composer, i"m starting to wander around the musical keys and sometimes I surprise myself and burst out laughing at how cool the thing I just did was...Its like I'm channelling music all of a sudden, it’s spiritual. I've never had this with music before, despite years of trying and following other courses. This one was the key for me. It feels like magic. Its all thanks to Robert. Hands down best music teacher ever.

What he did with my ears/brain regarding chromatic harmony is a miracle of sorts. So many concepts I never got nor could even identify despite years of trying, searching, wondering, asking people and just banging my head off a wall just came together because of this course. It is logically structured, well thought out, full of examples, well paced and without a pick of fat. Robert tells us students what he/we need to do to get this stuff (play in all keys, write things out etc) without labouring his points. The examples are inspiring and absolutely delightful to play and transpose and use bits of in my own compositions.

He just did a brilliant job on it and there is no one else teaching chromatic harmony on youtube . Its not aimed at popular music but I’ve found its insights to be the key to the more avant guard (for want of a better word) popular music artists that I'm into like David Bowie, The Beatles, Beach Boys, etc. and its helped me immensely to write my own pieces with those sort of sophisticated moves and to see behind the curtain on what those masters were thinking...Anyway this course is brilliant , I’ve never in my life been so changed by a course of study. If you are willing to put the work in it will make you a much better composer and see/hear all sorts of possibilities you would never get near without it. I am proof. A genius teacher, a peerless teacher. Utterly brilliant! Buy this course, roll up your sleeves, crack your knuckles get the head down daily for months and watch what happens! 10/10

The thing that make Robert Davis' soundsets so attractive is that many of them a based on a harmonic approach, which makes them useful for combining with other traditional instruments (brass, strings, etc.) in a composition.

What I really like about this preset bank is its design in there are so many different ways you can use these sounds. In various octave ranges especially. These sounds are very interesting and inspirational. You only have to listen to any of these patches to start getting incredible ideas for building on. Its a very small price to pay for what you get back.

if you are someone who wants to always become a better musician, then you'll see that every course by Robert Davis is very useful. Packed with the hard earned experience of a real and practical musician and composer, and a talented one too, rather than contemporary courses taught by people who write little or no music. Or, when they do write it, it sounds weak and super cheesy. Not in these courses. And they are cost effective, too. One of the things I really like is that the tutor explains a lot of harmony with simple block chords, at the keyboard. This way, if you read music decently, you can learn a lot, very quickly. Also very useful to see how he improvises, and generally, how he works. A no brainer.

Before the course I could not for the life of me figure out how to get the augmented 6th working. 1 week with the course and I can move through any of the augmented 6ths chords at will. This course is not only a must for composing, it is also the key to improvisation.

I feel like I found a gold mine when I found the Basic Chromatic Harmony class. I understood secondary dominants, but I had no idea how many more techniques could introduce some chromatic interest into a chord progression. The chord progression examples can be used, modified, orchestrated, or elaborated on. I thoroughly enjoyed this class.

I might not have discovered Pigments if Robert and fisound hadn't created this sound bank. Great plug-in and these patches are fantastic. Very "film score-ish" and usable. Also very flexible with the macros adding a lot of variation within each patch. I got the Dark Film Scores bank as well and it's just as good.

This is another excellent tutorial and Pigments library from Robert Davis. I also recommend his Chromatic Harmony course!

Robert Davis is an experienced sound designer and composer and has created a great set of sounds for Pigments 5. Also recommend checking out the "Rylee's Nightmare" study score that uses these sounds.

Fantastic Presets for an Amazing Instrument!

Very useful for us beginner composers and songwriters!

Your presets are great Thanks for the efforts. I like your patches in some way more than PlugIn Guru's for omnisphere. They show off what Rapture can really do, which Cakewalks don't always do that. I reccommend these for Raptures.
