resonatedo vs WoodValvet
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
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.
- 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

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.
WoodValvet
This audio effect app emulates tube saturation with multiple stages, offering extensive control over drive, tube types, and circuit configurations. It features advanced filtering, modulation, and output processing for detailed sound shaping.
- 3 tube stages with individual drive control
- Selectable tube types per stage
- Series/parallel stage configuration
- Input band filter with selectable slope
- LFO modulation for drive and filter
- Side chain input for drive modulation
- Visual harmonic generation representation

WoodValvet is a tube emulated saturator with extra features : - has 3 tube stages each with their own “Drive”control. - each stage can be set to a different tube type (ECC82, …). - stage 2 & 3 can be set in series or in parallel to create different harmonics. - stage 1 & 2 are class A circuits, stage 3 is a class AB circuit. - an input band filter allows to add harmonics on the selected band only. - has out-of-band gain control - filter has selectable slope (12 .. 48 dB/oct) - a post tube out lowpass filter allows to reduce the higher harmonics. - a “Constant Level” setting matches the output level with the input level. - has an LFO to modulate the drive and filter settings. - side chain input can modulate the drive settings (increase or duck mode). - has an “Auto Gain Input” mode to automatically bring quiet signals into range. - has a Stereo spread control. - has a brick-wall limiter on output - has a DC blocking output filter - has an output phase switch. - has a visual representation of the generated harmonics. - has oversampling (1 .. 8) - has an extra inter modulation control for extra distortion.

Verdict
resonatedo and WoodValvet both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of resonatedo's written reviews are positive against 0% of WoodValvet's. resonatedo also leads on price ($3.99 vs $13.99) and chart position (#193 vs unranked). WoodValvet's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 40 months) and iOS requirement (11.4 vs 15.0). On rating, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
