All the effort and skill these developers use to give us the most authentic real piano sounds imaginable and you go and do all that to 'em. Must break their little hearts. 🥲

You've got me thinking, time I tried that same chain on Swam Brass 🤣

Nice tip, thnx, hadn’t tried that particular combo. @NeonSilicon is the man, can’t thank him enough for these apps, crazy that they are free

@Spud I put CuSpN and a few other things after Ravenscroft here and enjoyed the results a lot. PhaseDelayArray is adding a lot here too.

You can barely hear the processing on that piano, it's just a little spit and polish to bring out the natural timbre 🎹

You can hear the wood.

I've now got this pictures of Beethoven circa 1800 with an orchestra on a big stage hooked to some elliptical gears being pulled around by a team of oxen ...

@NeonSilicon 😝 haha

BTW, the just released update of LRC5 will allow it to self resonate. Well, it always could self resonate, but a bug that was lurking in there made it very hard to set it to the right location without blowing up the AU. I fixed the bug, so this works better now.

Not that I really recommend doing this (especially without a limiter on the output), but ... you can set the Q of the high-shelf to max and then pull its gain to -24dB. This causes the resonant peak to max. You can then set the Q's of the peaking filters all the way up and position them where you want. You can then sweep the four bands together to do some heavy self-resonating nonsense.

One thing that this has got me thinking about would be to use some hacked multi-bus routing with mix busses in AUM to cause feedback loops. If you stuck some effects/delays in the loops, it could get interesting. Anyone try this? Is there a way to set this up that would work? You could get some interesting control just by using the sliders in AUM.

You can definitely do those feedback loops in aum using buss sends etc

I’ve done this many times in AUM. Putting a pitch shifter and/or a granulator in a delay’s FB loop is the most common one. I look at expensive guitar pedals for patch ideas.

Yup ... that's my lounge room pretty much.

@rs2000 love that clip you showed. Just tried a live playable resonator in Drambo and will hopefully upload something usable tonight.

Man, I learn so much on this site from you mad geniuses. Thanks for taking the time to explain all that @Aleyas and @NeonSilicon! Learned a lot! 🤙

Edit: just realized @NeonSilicon is also the dev for many of the apps that have been mentioned here (already have them all),. Rock on! Appreciate you!

Made a resonator instrument/effect for Drambo. Works on any audio input!

Tried this morning from patchstorage. It is a really good patch. Thanks also for the video.

This thread is replete with ideas for things that sound good through a resonator:

This kinda resonates things...
