Xaoc Devices - Oradea

Resonators exist at that magical intersection between filters and oscillators. Oradea from Xaoc Devices dives deep into this territory, bringing four independent analog resonators to your Eurorack system. In resonator-speak, think of this as having four tuned objects you can strike, bow, or simply let sing on their own - either processing external audio or generating sounds when "pinged" with triggers.

Each of the four bands can be tuned across the entire audible frequency range with proper V/oct response, making them genuinely playable for melodies. The carefully designed frequency compensation keeps the peak gain consistent even at high resonance values - no more blown speakers when exploring those long, bell-like decays. To excite these resonators, individual trigger inputs generate finely tuned impulses, accompanied by multi-color LEDs that provide immediate visual feedback on your signal levels.

Routing options are abound with Oradea. The individual outputs let you process each band separately, while a mixed output delivers the complete resonant picture. Each channel includes both a VCA and polarity switch – flip the phase to create cancelations or reinforcements between bands. Route one band's output back to another's input and suddenly you're exploring feedback networks with distinctly organic characteristics that edge toward physical modeling territory.

Those wanting even more control can add the Arad Resonator Commander expander, which brings individual audio inputs for each channel and CV-controlled muting. This transforms what might seem like a niche module into a surprisingly versatile voice for your system - capable of bell tones, metallic percussion, formant-based vowel sounds, or unique drum processing that cuts through any mix with authority and character. In essence, Oradea is where your sounds discover their own vibrant, analog resonance, each ready to ring out with distinct personality — it's a solid choice for anyone seeking those authentic resonant tones that only analog circuits can deliver.
