Two powerful TDM plug-ins creatively synthesize any existing audio in real time. Any source - from vocals to drums to guitar - can instantly be transformed into uniquely textured new realms of sound.

Both Bruno and Reso use a new cross-synthesis technique to produce rich sound across an extremely wide sonic spectrum. With up to 24 voices possible, you can create a deep layer of adjustable resonant tones. An on-screen keyboard allows you to latch the keys for sounding multiple notes. By simply applying a chord to a dry drum loop, you can create entirely new sound textures while retaining the expressive qualities of the original audio.
These plug-ins can also be "played" in realtime via MIDI using an external controller. Play a chord progression or a scale on your keyboard and Bruno/Reso will apply the performance to your audio. In addition, velocity and pitch bend parameters can be controlled by your keyboard. MIDI clock capabilities and an envelope follower let Bruno/Reso match the groove of the source material.

Bruno uses time-slicing, a technique whereby timbres are extracted from the source audio during playback and crossfaded together. Crossfade lengths between these sections can be adjusted and a switch function produces additional textural changes. Switch can be triggered by threshold, MIDI beat clock, or keyed to an external track. Further shaping and modulation is achieved through a wide variety of timbre, amplitude, pitch, voice and stereo spread parameters.

Reso has features similar to Bruno, but uses a resonance generator to add harmonic overtones. Damping and other processing knobs help shape the sound. An all/odd harmonics toggle can be triggered from an external keyboard in the same manner as Bruno's switch control. At the end of the chain, a resonant filter modulates low-pass frequency sweeps with adjustable "Q" and follower knobs.

Bruno/Reso is a seriously advanced piece of software for musicians, sound designers and post-production pros. But it's not rocket science to use. Just grab the knobs, start dialing and have fun. In the process, you'll take your audio to amazing new places.
