Tessera is an effects plugin built around twelve parallel resonator voices that are excited by incoming audio.

Rather than processing signals with conventional filtering or reverberation, the plugin routes the source through resonators tuned to notes within a selected chord or scale, allowing transient sounds to expand into chords and sustained material to evolve into layered harmonic textures.

The processing engine includes eleven physical-model resonator types, five tempo-syncable motion engines, and controls for shaping decay, damping, brightness, stereo spread, and harmonic behavior.

Features:

• Twelve parallel resonator voices are excited from the incoming audio signal
• Each resonator voice can be tuned to notes within a selected chord or scale
• Eleven resonator models are included
• Resonator models include a Karplus-Strong plucked string model
• A bowed waveguide string model is included
• Additional banded waveguide models include tuned bars, glass, bells, bowls, membranes, plates, and tubes
• Decay control adjusts resonator duration
• Damping control shapes resonator behavior
• Brightness control adjusts the tonal character of the resonators
• Spread control distributes resonator voices
• Five motion engines are included
• Motion engines can synchronize to host tempo
• Supports VST3 plugin format
• Supports Audio Unit plugin format
• Supports AAX plugin format
• Supports CLAP plugin format
• Supports LV2 plugin format where available

Circuit Happy shared this video demo of how to use their Missing Link to connect your computer wirelessly using Ableton Link.

You don’t even need a computer, though. You can use the Missing Link to sync hardware synths, modular systems, mobile devices and more. The Missing Link synchronizes your DAW, modular synths and any other studio gear over WiFi, MIDI and CV – all at the same time.

Whether you’re using the Missing Link Junior or the ML:2m, the setup process is quick, simple and wireless.

Padbangers has released a free application MPC Sample Project Converter, that’s designed to let you change MPC Sample projects to the bigger MPC Format.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

“For the big standalone MPCs — MPC One, MPC Live and MPC X/XL.

When they import an MPC Sample project, everything ends up crammed into a single track — hard to read and hard to edit. This app splits it into clean tracks and turns your chops and “16 Levels” tuning melodies into real, playable programs: chops become a chop program, tuning melodies become keygroups — plus an in-app preview and an optional template for your own mixer setup. Now also supports converting to MPC 2.”

MPC Sample Project Converter is available now as a free download for Linux, macOS and Windows.
