In this video I’m introducing Polarity-RES, my new free resonator plugin for Windows, macOS and Linux. It lets you create up to 32 band-pass filters, learn resonances directly from incoming audio, and reshape sounds into resonators, drones, weird rooms or even synth-like textures. I also added note and harmonic overlays, stereo detune, noise input, MIDI pitch tracking and a few workflow tricks that make it fun to experiment with. It’s completely free, there’s no account, no activation and no telemetry. Download link is in the description below. Let me know what you think, what breaks, and what features you want next.

10:14 Harmonics overlay and overtone snapping
11:15 MIDI pitch tracking and centering the root note
12:39 Ideas for future updates
13:10 More resonator and bass/drum sound experiments
15:23 Using it with Bitwig Grid noise as a synth-like source
16:29 Harmonics mode with noise input
17:12 Final thoughts, bug reports and feature requests
