Meet Reso Audio, and ResoPlate 1.0

Today we are launching Reso Audio, a small studio for physical-modeling plug-ins, and our first paid release: ResoPlate 1.0.

Most plate reverbs are recordings. Someone struck a plate once, captured the impulse, and every tail you hear replays that moment. ResoPlate does something different. It solves four independent metal plates in real time, each one a true modal resonator tuned by its material and size. Change the metal or the dimensions and the whole mode structure retunes while you listen.

What that gets you

• Four plates at once, each with its own size, material, and decay. Layer them for a lush hall, or detune them into a shimmering ensemble.
• Six plate metals, from the steel reference to bronze and beyond, each shifting pitch and decay the way that alloy would.
• Honest decay and one Air control for long, natural highs without harsh ring on loud chords.
• A tail you can play. Pitch bend and the mod wheel move the plate, and a sidechain lets your track push the tail around in time.
• A live output analyzer, so you can see the tail settle while you shape it.

ResoPlate runs on macOS and Windows (AU and VST3). The introductory price is $39 through October 31, 2026, then $59. It is a one-time purchase with every 1.x update included, and students and educators get 40 percent off the regular price. The free demo has every feature and no time limit.

Sympiano 1.0.6

Our free piano string-resonance plug-in now carries the Reso Audio name. This update fixes Mac builds that would not load on older versions of macOS in some hosts (it now runs on macOS 11 and later, as intended), opens in its brass look by default, and the right-click menu for zoom and skins now works anywhere in the window. If Sympiano failed to load for you before, please try again. If you turned on the update check, Sympiano will tell you about the new version itself.

Thanks for listening,
Ben
