The Harvestman is a Seattle-based maker of Eurorack synthesizer modules founded in 2007 by Scott Jaeger. The company was later renamed Industrial Music Electronics, though much of its catalog and community discussion still uses the original Harvestman name. Its modules are known for a deliberately transgressive, industrial sonic character, with a heavy emphasis on digital sound generation and processing rather than the warm analog voicings common in Eurorack.

The lineup centers on idiosyncratic digital instruments such as the Piston Honda wavetable oscillator, the Hertz Donut multi-operator FM oscillator, the Tyme Sefari voltage-controlled audio buffer for live resampling and time-stretching, the Bionic Lester multi-mode filter, the Stillson Hammer sequencer, the Kermit modulation source, and the Zorlon Cannon noise/sequence generator. The company has also produced a series of Polivoks-inspired modules developed in cooperation with Vladimir Kuzmin, the original designer of the Soviet-era Polivoks synthesizer.

The brand occupies a niche favored by experimental, noise, techno, and sound-design oriented modular users, and its modules are widely stocked by specialist Eurorack retailers and discussed on community forums such as ModWiggler and ModularGrid.

The Harvestman has 22 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Modular Synthesizers. Their gear is featured by 13 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Rock, and Stage & Screen. Notable users include Richard Devine, Surachai, and Celldweller.
