BLEASS Spectral Resonator by BLEASS (Released)
https://apps.apple.com/app/id6763301205
By converting audio into the spectral domain, BLEASS Spectral Resonator can shift, blur, filter, and restructure the frequency content of any sound before generating resonances. When blended with the source signal, this adds a controllable layer of pitch and timbre. Used fully wet, it produces rich and complex spectral textures.
Resonances can be generated from an internal four-voice tone generator or directly from incoming MIDI notes. With up to eight voices of polyphony, glide, pitch bend, and up to 256 harmonics per voice, BLEASS Spectral Resonator can be played from MIDI to create tuned harmonic resonances and evolving spectral textures.
Intuitive controls provide detailed manipulation of the resonator behaviour, including unison, detuning, harmonic stretching, density, damping, decay, and harmonic filtering. Harmonics can be restricted to even or odd series, while spectral shifting and blurring further reshape the resulting resonances.
A spectral-domain filter lets you select the frequency range used to excite the resonators. The interactive 3D spectrogram visualises resonator activity over time while also providing direct control over the spectral filter.
BLEASS Spectral Resonator also includes Freeze and Kill controls for holding or clearing active resonances.
Designed to combine deep spectral processing with an accessible interface, it opens new possibilities for harmonic, rhythmic, and dynamic sound design, including inharmonic or atonal material such as drums.
BLEASS Spectral Resonator is also available for Desktop.

I tried it at Superbooth, it's awesome
the demo video is really bad.
sounds like 90s happy rave...
maybe Gavinski will do a proper demo/test/preview.
because Bleass has good coding but bad tastes in music it seems.:)
I just put a walkthrough up on my Patreon, great way to support my work while getting loads back. I just don't have the energy/motivation to keep focusing on YouTube as much as I used to, without more direct financial support from devs and viewers. Patreon is the real home of my channel now 🙏
@Gavinski
I can see why you're going this way. Your reviews are good.
and YouTube became a trash can lately...
The niche is just too small to be fairly paid by YouTube ad revenue, yeah, it's demoralizing.
I like it!
Plugin looks great.
This sounds great, but as far as I can see, it doesn't seem to have the usual BLEASS deep modulation options, which seems a shame - could have offered a lot more sound design potential e.g. for creating rhythmic effects.
@craftycurate
not sure you can modulate fft based fx without weird phasey/flangey artefacts
Unless that's the sound you're going for
Yes, really surprising omission!
@craftycurate
true:)
There's always the usual external LFO options I guess, but it's good to have it onboard, so it can be saved with the preset.
Technically:
yes, FFT/spectral effects often work in tiny time windows. If you modulate parameters too fast, the windows overlap/change in unstable ways, causing smearing, phasing, metallic flanging, zippery glitches, etc. Sometimes that’s the charm.:)
I definitely like it tho, despite lack of inbuilt modulation, can always use external modulation or automation
An additive effect/synth from BLEASS? Sign me up!
I can't wait to have a go with this! Might be great for drones and Ambient. I wish @Gavinski would release this tutorial to Youtube, but I understand why he doesn't.
Very short demo.
Does this offer anything that the Magic series from @gsdsp doesn’t already supply?
A new preset demo posted just 2 hours ago. I'm not getting this btw.
So perhaps like a resonator, with spectral control, including over the resonance, perhaps sort of graphic like EQ then, without over resonant frequencies because I noticed Drambo spectral filter, dosent have much resonance vs a normal resonant filter.
Seems good though.
OK just tried this in a track. It’s right up my street. Blending it in can really give you some cool tones.
@bleassapp this badly needs modulation! It is the missing element.
I feel like the UI looks older and less polished than most BLEASS apps. Between that and the lack of modulation, this feels rushed or even contracted work? I doubt with BLEASS’s reputation, they’d use AI for this. But it doesn’t seem like it’s entirely them.
Oh wow, I wouldn't think it's contracted. I also don't think it would be much work for them to add a modulation system as they already have all the code needed for that. I'd guess there's some other reason they left it out.
Yup, and at their chosen price point it really needs to have all the bells and whistles.
About the "missing features"
I talked to the BLEASS guys and they want to throw out apps faster and then update them in the process
I asked them to include MPE control to this one for example, and it's on the roadmap
Not an easy business to live from, so I guess they need new products constantly to get enough money to live from. They didn't deny it, when I mentioned it ^^
Surprised there wasn't a sale intro price, most AUv3 new releases generally do. $15 also seems a bit steep.
Last great resonator I used was a PCM80/81...
Pretty sure it says somewhere that that is an intro price, maybe their website?
you are right - $19.99 is the standard price, sale price is $15.
(...grumbles "still too damn high")
Honestly I don’t really care for the UI in their most recent apps.
Thoughts regarding using BLEASS spectral resonator with woodwind controllers, where the envelope (ADSR) is provided by a CC or monophonic channel pressure (aftertouch)?
Are CC and aftertouch mappable?
