Kaivo: Resonator Overview

Overview of Kaivo's Resonator Module

Kaivo is a software instrument combining two powerful synthesis techniques (physical modeling and granular synthesis) in an easy-to-use semi-modular package. It’s laid out a bit like an acoustic instrument; the GRANULATOR module acts like the player’s touch, exciting one or more tuned objects (here, the RESONATOR module, based on physical models of resonant objects) that come together in a central resonating body (the BODY module, also physics-based).

Thank you for the walk through! Are similar vids for Sumu in the near future?

[Joe_Lowery]

Thanks. I'm somewhat confused about the Pitch for the resonator. If I load a sample into the granulator that a B note, don't I have to adjust the resonator pitch to match?

[harishkumaru]

Can we have alternate tuning frequencies in resonator section?

Great video but sustain seems to be missing.
