RM-1 Wave Modulator RM-1 is a multi purpose audio effect designed around various types of modulation. Featuring a built-in carrier oscillator, multimode filter, envelope follower and low frequency oscillator, RM-1 creates new sounds by combining carrier waveform and the audio input in different ways. Types of modulation: - Ring Modulation (virtual analog) - Ring Modulation (digital) - Amplitude Modulation - Phase Modulation (DX-style FM) - Frequency Modulation (linear) Overview: - Built-in carrier oscillator with variable wave-shape (sine->square) - Built-in multimode Filter (LP, HP, BP) - Built-in Envelope Follower and LFO Connectivity: - Standalone (MIC, USB audio) - IAA / Audiobus - AUv3 Plugin

About

resonatedo

This audio effect app allows for microtonal music creation with two independent resonator banks. Each resonator offers customizable pitch, volume, and modulation, with advanced filter controls and a mix slider for signal blending. It supports external MIDI input and features a detailed UI with multiple keyboard options.

Highlights
  • Dual microtonal resonator banks
  • Independent pitch, volume, and modulation control
  • Advanced filter and color parameters
  • Detailed keyboard UI with note information
  • MIDI input support
  • Mix control for dry/processed signal

Read full description

resonatedo is a microtonal resonator bank audio effect for iOS and macOS. It contains two sets of resonators controlled by separate keyboards. Each resonator has independent pitch (set by EDO division value of the keyboard), volume and modulation. Each resonator is a delay with feedback that contains lowpass + allpass and bandpass filters. Each set has a common "color" parameter that changes balance between these filter sets in each single resonator. The "mix" control allows crossfade from dry to fully processed signal. UI features two independent keyboards with: • 4 – 72 keys (voices, steps) per octave, each with its own ring modulator • maximum polyphony equal to the number of voices; max polyphony is 144 voices • 1 – 4 octave range, covering the frequency range of about 8 – 4200 Hz • display with note number (from C), note name, frequency (in Hz), and deviation from 12-TET (in cents) • two sections per keyboard: upper for non-sustained notes, gliding, and velocity; lower for sustained notes and modulation rate • mute button to stop/start all sound • delete/panic button to erase all notes • glide button for smooth sweeps across keyboard frequency range • modulation on/off button • slider to set initial velocity and modulation levels • slider to change velocity and modulation rates for all notes on the keyboard proportionally and to show current velocity and mod rate levels • button to toggle keyboard visibility. resonatedo supports MIDI input from external sources to control each keyboard independently.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: resonatedo at 5.0 against RM's 4.6. resonatedo also leads on price ($3.99 vs $9.99) and review sentiment (75% vs 67%). RM's advantage is update cadence (every 10 months vs every 40 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
