XHUN Audio ResonHeart Aerophone-Based Physical-Modeling Virtual Instrument (Download)
The Xhun Audio ResonHeart Mechanical Synthesizer Virtual Instrument uses ACS physical modeling based on the principals of fluid dynamics to simulate the acoustic properties of aerophone-based instruments and machines. The resulting modal synth is an unusual experimental instrument that offers unique textures with eerily real-world-sounding acoustic properties and steampunk ambience.
Rather than conventional electronic synthesis, the components inside ResonHeart have been modeled after existing mechanical hardware—commercially available devices like air pumps, pneumatic valves, and metal resonators. The instruments mimic different families of acoustic sounds and instruments including winds, membranes, cymbals, percussion, vocals, whistles, glasses, and more. The plug-in is capable of a wide variety of tones ranging from timpanic and electronic percussion and crashes to ethnic lutes, choirs, strings, and evolving pad textures.
The sound engine uses clockwork components: air pumps, motors, pneumatic valves, and complex resonator blocks (one per voice). Each resonator block consists of a set of sixteen universal Helmholtz resonators (which can be individually triggered and tuned) arranged as a modal synthesizer. The design makes ResonHeart able to accurately simulate an unusual range of acoustic sounds, including rigid-body or membrane-based percussions and cymbals—one of the hardest things to simulate using physical modeling. Surrounding room acoustics have also been carefully modeled, simulating spatial environments from small chambers to gigantic cathedrals.
The simplified interface makes the sound-designing process seamless, since all the controls and parameters are always in plain sight, arranged on its single-view panel. Trigger the main pump motor, provide energy to the air turbulence, and modify the cross-sectional area of the ducts. Tailor the internal volume and the embouchures aperture for each of the Helmholtz resonators, and add nuance by assigning different modulations for each of the pneumatic valves. Finally, place each of the resonator blocks in a space using reverb accurately modeled after real-world spaces to impart professional sheen or haunted ambience.

XHUN Audio FilterCult Transistor Ladder Filter Emulation (Download)
Available for download, Xhun Audio FilterCult is a plug-in that faithfully emulates the analog filter stage of a classic piece of gear. Useful for sound design and mixing, this processor applies gentle analog-style filtering on any instrument. It’s particularly musical on percussive elements.
The circuit of this filter was modeled faithfully—in fact, the GUI has the look of a hand-drawn schematic, adding visual flare to the sonic panache of this software. The software works on Mac and Windows systems, and operates in VST2, VST3, and AU formats.
Filter and Sound Coloration
FilterCult is a powerful filter and sound coloration tool. This multidevice effect processor is composed of a set of modeled analog gears and digital devices arranged inside a rackmount cabinet and accessible through a simple and easy to use interface.
Analog Emulation
At its heart, FilterCult consists of an accurate simulation of a transistor-ladder analog filter, meticulously preserving its original circuit topology, behavior, and quirks. Moreover, the addition of circuit-bending modifications and the possibility to use supplementary nonlinear electronic components sensibly expand its sound-sculpting possibilities.
Playing the leading role in FilterCult is the FLT-TL22 device, an accurate modeling simulation of a transistor ladder analog filter. In order to make this analog filtering unit well suited for a wide range of use cases, a meticulous model of the original circuit design and physical properties was created.
Improvements over Original Hardware
A series of experimental circuit bends and improvements have been added, including device-level feedback path (with the possibility to delay the feedback signal), extra prefilter and post-filter nonlinear components (using transistor-based or tube-based technologies), a pole selector (by connecting different nodes of the analog circuit to the main device output), a high-pass path, and much more.
