ResonHeart + Woodcraft Kits Expansion by Xhun Audio

Unleash unparalleled acoustic realism and experimental soundscapes with ResonHeart + Woodcraft Kits Expansion, a groundbreaking physical modeling virtual instrument designed to redefine your sound palette. This unique aerophone-based acoustic machine offers an intuitive interface and immense sonic versatility, making it a must-have for producers, sound designers, and musicians seeking innovative and expressive tones.

ResonHeart: The Mechanical Synthesizer At its core, ResonHeart is a physical modeling simulation of a never-before-seen, experimental aerophone-based acoustic instrument. Built with Advanced Component Simulation (ACS) techniques, it functions as a natural-born acoustic machine made entirely of clockwork components, air pumps, motors, pneumatic valves, and complex resonator blocks. Unlike electronic instruments, ResonHeart's sound generation process involves no electronic components, making it a true mechanical synthesizer capable of articulated acoustic tones.

Unrivaled Mimicry & Organic Sound Generation: ResonHeart excels in its "Imitation Game", genuinely capable of mimicking a wide range of acoustic systems. Experience the authentic sounds of:

• Winds
• Membranes and Percussions (including rigid-body or membrane-based, even cymbals and crashes, which are notoriously hard to simulate physically)
• Ethnic Lutes and Whistles
• Glasses
• Vocal Ensembles and Choirs
• Entire Orchestral Strings Sections

Beyond mimicry, ResonHeart is engineered to produce very unconventional, organic tones, evolving textures, and expressive motion pads. Its extended set of mechanical automations and modulation units provide manifold, evolving dynamics to the final sound.

Deep Dive into ResonHeart's Architecture & Features:

• Complex Modal-Based Architecture: Characterized by a complex modal-based architecture, this original machine is designed to potentially be a real-world replicable device.
• Modeled Physical Components: Every single component, from air pumps and pneumatic valves to metal resonators, is modeled after existing, commercially available hardware.
• Advanced Resonator Blocks: Each voice features a complex resonator block composed of sixteen universal Helmholtz resonators, which can be individually triggered and tuned. This unique design facilitates its remarkable imitation capabilities.
• Precision Control: Fine-tune your sound with detailed controls for:
  • Air pump motors with dedicated automations and retrig.
  • Venturi valves and Swing motors/valves (0.1 Hz up to 20 Hz).
  • Pneumatic solenoid valves with precise aperture/disclosure timing.
  • Air turbulence dispersion control.
  • Independent tuning (internal volume) and pressure (embouchure) controls for each Helmholtz resonator.
  • Dedicated modulations for resonators' tuning and pressure, featuring Swing, Contour, Velocity, and Pitch Follower controls.
• Polyphony & Spatialization: Operates as a monophonic or true polyphonic (4-voices) instrument, achieved by simulating separate, fully-independent mechanical sound generators. The spatial displacement engine allows you to arrange the instrument's four voices/blocks within an accurately modeled room space.
• Accurate Room Acoustics: The surrounding room acoustics have been carefully modeled, simulating a wide range of spatial environments, from small chambers to big concert halls, to stone-walled cathedrals and beyond.
• Intuitive Workflow: ResonHeart features a clean and intuitive interface, with all controls and parameters always in plain sight on its single-view panel, making the sound designing process simple and effective.
• High Fidelity & Versatility: Boasts full 64-bit processing accuracy, supports sample rates from 44.1 kHz up to 192 kHz, and offers multi-size GUI resolutions.
• Extensive Presets & MIDI: Includes a collection of over 130 ready-to-use factory presets covering diverse styles and genres, alongside comprehensive MIDI automation support.

Woodcraft Kits: Expand Your Sonic Craftsmanship Enhance your sound design capabilities with the Woodcraft Kits Expansion, a special sound design toolkit for ResonHeart. This library provides a unique collection of presets, each specifically crafted to affect only a particular section of ResonHeart's tone generator. The true power lies in its modularity: multiple presets can be loaded and combined together, simplifying and accelerating your sound design process on this original acoustic instrument.

Experience the future of acoustic simulation. ResonHeart + Woodcraft Kits offers a unique blend of scientific accuracy, sonic flexibility, and an inspiring user experience, allowing you to create sounds that go far beyond what ordinary electronic or acoustic instruments can achieve.
