NanoRings

Michigan Synth Works' 8 HP Rings: Mutable Instruments' open-source resonator, in Jakplugg's derivative design, the same in function as the original. It models strings, bars and tubes struck or plucked, excited by an audio signal or by its own exciter, with up to four voices.

Key features

• Three resonator models on the MODE button: modal resonator, sympathetic strings and inharmonic string (M, S1, S2), with hidden ones
• Polyphony of one, two or four voices on the POLY button
• FREQ, SHAPE (structure), BRIGHT, DAMP and POSITION shape the resonator, each with an attenuverter on its CV input
• An internal exciter strums the resonator on note changes when nothing is patched into IN and STRUM
• Odd and even voices on two outputs, mixed together when only one is patched
• Silver or black panel, the same engraving on both
