BLEASS BLEASS Spectral Resonator (Digital product)

BLEASS Spectral Resonator

Experience a vibrant array of resonating harmonics with BLEASS Spectral Resonator, designed to enhance any audio input—be it vocals, drums, synths, guitars, or field recordings. The results are rich, expressive, and captivating.

More than a simple vocoder, BLEASS Spectral Resonator transcends traditional effects, venturing into harmonic delays, tuned reverberations, and playable harmonic instruments. By converting your signal into the spectral domain, it allows for a wide range of creative processing. The spectrum can be shifted, blurred, stretched, densified, and destructured, producing decaying tails and precise harmonic filtering. When blended with the source, it introduces a controllable layer of pitch and timbre, and at full wet, it delivers complex and animated textures that feel alive.

Playable Harmonic Engine
At its core lies a powerful resonator engine capable of generating up to 256 harmonics per voice. With an internal 4-voice generator or full MIDI control (supporting up to 8-voice polyphony, glide, pitch-bend, and latch), you can play the plugin like a synth. Each voice produces its own shimmering bank of harmonics, providing instant access to everything from subtle enhancements to wildly expressive soundscapes.

Deep Harmonic Control
The Harmonics section offers extensive timbral control. Select the number of harmonics and filter them to All, Even, or Odd for distinct characters. Fine-tune each voice by ±1 semitone and stack up to 7 sub-voices with Detune for a rich, ensemble-style sound. The unique Stretch parameter adjusts the spacing of the harmonic series—compress it for dense, vocal-like formants or expand for open, metallic tones. Shift modifies the entire spectrum for classic formant effects, while Density controls how much spectral material excites the resonators, creating dynamic, scintillating patterns. The Blur feature softens the source data into lush, diffuse, reverb-like resonances, and the frequency-dependent Decay shapes the tails with natural musicality.

Interactive Visualisation
The stunning interactive 3D Rainbow Spectrogram not only visualizes resonator activity over time in breathtaking detail but also serves as a real-time controller for the Spectral Filter. Drag horizontally to set Filter Frequency and vertically to adjust Filter Bandwidth (in semitones), providing surgical yet intuitive control over the frequencies that engage the resonators.
