Energize a fabric with a few sorts of vitality input (a slap, a rub, a blow) and you’ll get a clamour. The resounding qualities of that fabric (be it wood, metal, glass, a drum, a trumpet, a buttock), and the way in which you energize it’ll decide the qualities of that sound; among other things, its timbre, recurrence, and length in time. It is this exciting world of excitation and reverberation that concerns the Rings module, initially from Variable Rebellious, and presently accessible in Softube Modular.
Rings employments tuned channels to physically show close to any thunderous fabric possible, in three-wide categories. The ‘modal’ resonator imitates the thunderous qualities of plates, strings, layers, and tubes, which fortify vitality bolstered into them by organizing certain frequencies of sound around certain physical focuses (called modes) based on their estimate, shape, and structure. The ‘sympathetic strings’ model offers the sorts of rambling and over-toning sounds and surfaces advertised by rebellious such as the sitar. Virtual strings are other than the one ‘plucked’ ring in sensitivity with the most note. The ‘modulated/inharmonic string’ show is an expansion of Karplus-Strong union, which employments a delay with exceptionally tall input an exceptionally brief period to synthesize a pitched wave like a string being struck, bowed, or culled.
In addition to these captivating and perpetually explorable assortments, Rings offers timbral control of the coming about sound, as well as the capacity to energize the resonator models in any way you select within the, to begin with, put, either with an inside generated noise burst or together with your possess outside sound signals. You can indeed play strummed chords with Rings, due to a built-in polyphony component that produces a modern virtual string (up to 4 in add up to) for each trigger indeed whereas the final note is still ringing.
