{"product_id":"tessera","title":"Tessera","description":"\u003cp\u003eTessera is a tuned resonator effect. Feed it a drum loop, a guitar, a synth, or a voice, and it uses that signal to excite twelve parallel resonator voices, each pitched to a note of a chord or scale you choose. A single hit blooms into a full chord. A sustained sound becomes a slowly shifting pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the hood are eleven resonator models: a plucked Karplus-Strong string, a bowed waveguide String, and nine banded-waveguide bodies, from tuned bars and glass to bells, bowls, membranes, plates, and tubes. Decay, Damping, Brightness, and Spread voice each one, from tight and percussive to vast and ringing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive motion engines decide how and when the twelve voices speak: Contour, SEQ, Strum, Arp, and Swarm, moving from shimmering arpeggios to strummed chords to drifting swarms, all lockable to host tempo. Same as the rest of our catalog: Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS. No DRM, no subscriptions, no dongles, perpetual license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.ad-platforms { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(208px, 1fr)); gap: 0.7rem;

Feed a dry drum loop, pick a minor triad, and every hit rings out as a chord in key. Sustained sources like pads, held guitar, or a vocal drone turn Tessera into a generative instrument: start the SEQ or Swarm engine and it reshuffles the twelve voices on its own. We reach for the Glass Harmonica and Tibetan Bowl models the most, with Decay long and Diffusion up, for the endless-cathedral thing. And if you push Feedback on one of the delay engines, the resonators start feeding themselves into a self-sustaining drone.
