purlieu Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Years back, I used a cracked version of Live for a lot of my music, and while I'm mostly comfortable with Reaper and VSTs now, the one effect I really miss is Ableton's Resonator, particularly applied to field recordings to give them rich tonality and a dub-techno feel. So... can anyone recommend any VSTs that do the same thing? Don't really want to spend £350 on Ableton just for one effect (nor can I afford to), but I'm happy to splash out for a single VST at a sensible price. Or free, y'know. Free is always good. Any recs?

ignatius Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 unfiltered audio's BYOME has a nice resonator and combfilter in it. lot's of other things too and endless modulation. try the demo. load the resonator. play around. https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/unfiltered_audio_byome.html also, sign up for an account with plug in alliance and they'll send you a coupon.. wait for a sale and you can use the coupon on top of the sale and get most any plug in for like $29 instead of $249. purlieu 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide ignatius's signature Hide all signatures Releases Sample LIbraries instagram Cascade Data Mastodon Reveal hidden contents "All I know about you is what a knock off Autechre lite artist you are, how many you put out?> same with your fucking mindset, vanilla...........goodnight." - arti Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/100674-vst-fx-like-abletons-resonator/#findComment-2852332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I don't have a specific recommendation but I'd be very surprised if there weren't already a JS plugin for Reaper that could do something similar floating around.

exitonly Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 dont remember what ableton's resonator does but GRM Tools classic bundle has a reson plug with a bunch of resonating filters and a comb filter plug so maybe those would be fun https://inagrm.com/en/store/product/3/classic Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide exitonly's signature Hide all signatures https://exit-only.com https://ravenation.club/@exitonly Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/100674-vst-fx-like-abletons-resonator/#findComment-2852347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 LMDSP Superchord my dear. It's like an XL version of Ableton's Resonator https://www.lmdsp.com/products/superchord/ (I think I must've got it on discount, don't remember paying 100 euros for it) Here's audio demos for it (the SFX one might be exactly the kind of example you're looking for as to what it can do for field recordings) - https://www.lmdsp.com/products/superchord/#audio purlieu 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.

purlieu Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Ooh yes, that last one looks to be just the job. Thank you M.C. Pete Thank you for all the suggestions chaps! That BYOME looks interesting in itself so I'll definitely be doing some more research on that anyway, cheers. mcbpete 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide purlieu's signature Hide all signatures This is a YouTube channel in which I am looking at the history of FSOL, the history of ambient house & ambient techno, and some other stuff. / This is a Bandcamp page with some of my music on it. / This is a Blogger page with news about FSOL.

thawkins Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I got to say that the sound examples on that site sound so wild, I have to try out the Resonator effect too in Live sometime...

sheatheman Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Trouble with resonators is I find they are all pretty obvious and samey. I use them on almost every track, but it is hard to graduate past the general sound of positive or negative feedback with a dash of band pass filtering thrown in. on the subject though, ableton’s physical modeling synths and corpus also use a very similar algorithm. I use corpus A LOT with a midi side chain, and map several parameters to envelope followers and LFOS, then usually really tame it with some transient smudging stuff.
