Chapter 77: Bruno and Reso
Bruno and Reso are a pair of TDM plug-ins that
process audio using a sound generation tech-
nique known as cross-synthesis.
Cross-synthesis generates complex sound tex-
tures by using an audio track as a tone source
then applying a variety of synthesizer-type ef-
fects to that tone source. Bruno and Reso each
use a different sound generation method:
 Bruno uses time-slicing, a technique whereby
timbres are extracted from the source audio dur-
ing playback and crossfaded together. This
crossfading between signals can create a rhyth-
mic pulse in the sound as the timbre changes.
 Reso uses a resonator, which adds harmonic
overtones to the source audio through a short
signal delay line with a feedback loop.
In both cases, the processed sound can then be
played in real time or sequenced using the MIDI
recording and playback capabilities of
Pro Tools.
