## What is Tessera Sequenced Resonator?

Tessera is a tuned resonator. Play a drum loop, a guitar, a vocal, or a field recording into it, and it blooms that sound into twelve pitched voices that ring, shimmer, and decay in tune.

At its core are twelve parallel resonators, each locked to a note of a chord or scale you choose. Whatever you feed them excites those voices, so a single hit becomes a lush chord, a sustained pad, or a slowly evolving cloud. Pick a root and a scale, from majors and minors through ninths, elevenths, whole tone, and chromatic, and the whole instrument retunes at once.

Choose from eleven resonator models: plucked strings, struck bells, singing bowls, glass, membranes, tuned bars, plates, and hollow tubes. Shape each one with decay, damping, brightness, and stereo spread, moving from tight and percussive to vast and cathedral-like.

Five motion engines decide how the voices arrive:
Contour spreads them into shimmering, arpeggiated waves.
SEQ steps each voice through its own rhythmic pattern.
Strum rakes across the chord like fingers on strings.
Arp cycles the voices one note at a time.
Swarm lets them weave and drift around a moving center.

Any of it can lock to your host tempo, so rhythmic patches stay in time.

Play Tessera three ways: leave MIDI off and let the resonators sound on their own tuning, key them live from a keyboard, or gate them with held chords. Balance the effect with the dry and wet mix, blur the tails with the diffusion stage, and add motion with the built-in vibrato LFO. Microtonal tunings are supported for the pitch-obsessed.

One hundred factory presets get you going, from plucks and drones to bells, rhythmic sequences, strummed chords, arpeggios, and dark cinematic textures.

Tessera runs as an AUv3 plug-in inside your favorite host, and as a standalone app.

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2026-07-26*

Is the title indicates, this is one superb sounding fx. Has all the popular resonator options, with a bit extra that allows you to slightly add a little bit of texture, or completely mutate your sound. I was able to make a wide assortmemt of tones, from etherial to nightmares. It’s another winner from Audio Damage!
