RESONA

Guardian of Reverb City

A Playable Reverb & Tempo-Synced Glitch Processor by Glitch State Labs

Turn Your Reverb Into a Superpower.

Fly through a neon-soaked city where every building shapes your sound. Bounce echoes between glass towers, dive into metallic alleys, and unleash eight tempo-synced glitch superpowers that tear through your mix.

RESONA is a reverb you play. Move through the city to shape your reflections, let your beat power every punch, and defend the skyline against waves of the Glitch Gang. Every movement changes the space. Every transient can trigger chaos. Every location becomes a sound waiting to happen.

Want a more traditional reverb? Activate PEACE Mode and explore the city without the attacks.

The City Is Your Reverb

Forget static rooms and predictable spaces. RESONA generates its reflections from a procedurally created city, turning your position in the environment into a powerful sound-design tool.

Sixteen early reflections are individually shaped by their delay, level, stereo position, and material character, followed by a lush late reverb tail.

• Glass Towers — bouncing, crystalline canyon echoes.
• Steel Structures — sharp, metallic reflections.
• Concrete Buildings — dense, solid spatial character.
• Brick Walls — darker, more textured reflections.
• Open Streets — evolving spaces with their own acoustic character.

Fly between buildings, dive into tight alleys, hover above rooftops, or escape into the open sky. Your position changes the sound in real time, turning simple mouse movement into an expressive performance.

Your Beat Is Her Punch

The Glitch Gang is attacking Reverb City, and your audio is the weapon.

Every transient sends a shockwave through the environment. As corrupted buildings spread their influence, your mix begins to glitch, stutter, reverse, and mutate in time with your music.

Fight through the waves and face four bosses:

Dr. Clip · The Limiter · Null · Madame Feedback

Prefer sound design without the battle? Switch to PEACE Mode for a distraction-free, playable reverb experience.

Eight Glitch Superpowers

Eight tempo-synced effects transform RESONA from an atmospheric reverb into a performance-driven glitch machine. Trigger them directly with your mouse or play them from your DAW using MIDI.

• Echo Clones — rhythmic stutters and repeating fragments.
• Rewind — reverse your audio in motion.
• Slow-Mo — tape-stop-style slowdowns.
• Pixel Blast — digital destruction and bitcrushed textures.
• Giant — dramatic pitch transformations.
• Strobe Shield — rhythmic gating and chopped patterns.
• Freeze Ray — hold sounds in suspended animation.
• Super Scream — dramatic reverse swells.

Hold a MIDI note to hold the effect. Release it to return control to the sound. Build rhythmic combinations, automate your performance, and turn ordinary audio into evolving cinematic chaos.

Every Location Is a Preset

In RESONA, a preset is more than a collection of knob settings. It’s a location in the city.

Each preset recalls the environment, your position within it, and the complete sound configuration. Return to the same acoustic space whenever you reopen your project.

Explore 18 included locations, then save up to 12 of your own. With 12 MIDI combo scenes, you can also trigger coordinated effect combinations ranging from TEAM-UP to OMEGA.
