Any thoughts?

Cool. I'll have to record myself when I'm banging my head against the wall next time.

I think I'll record doggo's bark and see what happens.

No demo version, I think.

OOOooh!! It supports Linux!! I love samplers!!

We need demo's of their products! Please, Sequins.music release some 15 / 30 day demo's. We technically have Mutable aka Audible Instruments Rings & Clouds clones that do a little more and a basic Wotja plugin clone but their products might only last 5 years with the closure of huge companies like Vienna Symphonies and possibly Native Instruments already beginning and a huge Microsoft shift. At least they could offer a solid iLok for us or registration that is 100% offline. Native ought to somehow support owners of more than 10k worth of their things! Huge investment!

Whoa, this looks properly interesting, a resonator network for samples is a fantastic concept. I'm immediately thinking about feeding a raw 909 loop through this to see what happens. You could probably morph a simple percussion hit into a completely new rhythmic acid sequence with this thing. Curious to hear how it sounds when you really push the resonance on a short, simple waveform.

Fun idea. Very much the sort of thing that reaktor is great at.

Is there a Reaktor ensemble that does this?

There's a big ol resonator bank that can be wired to a sampler. I'd be amazed if someone hadn't done this kind of thing already. I've got a similar setup with live granular buffers and playable comb filters instead. I'd be more excited about something that used spectral resynthesis and phase vocoder so that resonators could track the pitch of the samples and other fun fft math could be applied. I'd definitely give it a go if there was a demo of some sort. Most of what I heard in that video was already doable with various other MPE capable synths I have.

As soon as the dude said something along the lines of "we can extract the pitch from the samples" I dialled out.

You're right though, we're still waiting for some kind of advanced FFT/PV/Spectral sampler which actually does useful analysis of the file. Don't have the time to test but maybe that Minuit thing does?

I think the 'built in' Resochord is basically this :

It seems like Anima was coded entirely with AI. Meaning, it's not actually under copyright (according to current USA law.) Kind of a bold choice to try selling it for $99 when someone could legally just reupload it for free

(I wouldn't touch this plugin with a 10 foot pole)

How did you get this info?
I’m sick to death of AI and want to avoid it, especially when it comes to voiding human talent.

The creator livestreamed the process:

(Does this qualify as being a creator? Maybe not?)

BTW I have no problem people using AI to make their own tools or scripts or something for themselves. I think it's immoral to use AI that was trained on other people's material without their permission to make a product that you sell. Also just a crazy idea in general because if you make something with AI, it's in the public domain (in the USA) so anyone can just take it and give it away for free as well.

(This is one of the reasons you see lots of AI coded stuff that only runs on servers, since there's no way for you to get a copy of the program.)
