EB-Resonator, Colour bass done right.

A lot of free melodic resonators i've tried sound ringy, "bell" like and aren't designed for the applications i wanted
So i built one!
This patch runs inside of Plugdata (which can be ran as a vst orstandalone)

This comment gave me a mini heart attack.

[@levonkeijner1092]

omg the reverb and filter only applying to the wet signal is just so good

[@nullbyt]

That's what a wet signal is? The wet has the effect applied signal and the dry is the signal with no effect.

[@VortexMusicOfficial1]

i don't usually say/think this about a lot of these specific modern processors, but this is very well made. it solves a lot of problems in just a few clicks; it has a very good ui that allows anyone to craft/control sound precisely to their ears to a high extent. the spectral harmonic resonation seems on point, and the excess knobs like ring, glide and reverb are SO well done, they add to the control i believe so many producers need in a plugin like this. i see that the creator is still working on it, so nuances like inability to routing midi, not having a pre/post option to the allpass filtering... there are a few drawbacks but nothing out of the ordinary considering especially this great tool is for free. you can do plenty with this, it's a pretty unique sound, seems a little more intense and punchy than chroma for example, so GRAB IT NOW!!!!

[@Sthorm]

this is AWESOME and FREE?? you are a legend man.

Yeah a lot of them are amazing, but they can sometimes have unnecessary ring...chroma was amazing for this, but doesn't sound good on drums. This is a blend between the two 😅

[@ewanbristow]

FINALLLLYYYYYY RAGHHHH!!!!!

[@synmeow]

wait until you find out about stock plugins and layering

[@Gnurklesquimp2]

FL has stuff like the Youlean resonator and Youlean note EQ patcher presets (cpu intensive though), also Vocodex, Ableton has a resonator, there's some options out there. Even just EQ's, pitch shifters/freq shifters, tonal effects like milisec delays and comb filters etc. etc. and combinations thereof can do a lot, but that can be a lot of work if you want a lot of notes implied, especially if you wanna imply their harmonic series to some extent. I'm also a big fan of Harmor's prism, so cool to give a bass a 5th harmonic that's minor instead.

[@Cue-Ball.]

@@synmeow That is way more tedious than having all the controls in a singular plugin like this plus getting authentic shimmery resonator tone isn't exactly a quick process with stock plugins, not to mention the keytracking. You also literally mentioned layering, this doesn't need layering, much cleaner projects.

[@Organico0]

W plug in

[@mattiafesta253]

Really cool plug-in ! How can i make it run in Ableton?

[@ewanbristow]

Check the installation instructions :)

[@mattiafesta253]

Yeah i checked it, i open in PureData but, despite a couple of errors i got in the console, i still don't understand how to make puredata communicate with Ableton. I'm more used to MaxMSP (also because ableton has an integration with it) so it would be cool if you can make a video tutorial on the installation. I saw on the download website that i'm not alone apparently. Sorry ! I'm very not used to PureData and need explanations 🤣​@@ewanbristow

Just one of those design limitations. Custom buttons are possible with plugdata but, i wanted this to be easy and free to understand if you wanted to look under the hood.
