"The Resonator is a unique and great sounding dual analog filter, versatile and simple and to the point, that gives you great control and interfacing possibilities. Highly recommended!

WHAT IS A RESONANT FILTER?

Some of you may not know what a RESONANT FILTER is, but I can bet that you have heard a Resonant Filter many, many times. The cool analogue Hard Frequency Sweeps, and warm deep gliding sub-bass oscillations that you hear in most modern 'electronic ' or 'beats' driven music comes from running samples and instruments being run through a balance of High and Low pass Resonate Filters.

Guitarists can appreciate a Resonant Filters ability to offer new
tonal frequencies
and phasing capabilities using a LFO.


THE CLASSIC KORG MS20 SYNTHESISER



"You can feed any signal through the patchbay and use the MS20's filters to alter the sound colour, so its kind of a synth and analogue effects unit in one. Excellent!!"
Sonicstate.com on the Korg MS20

THIS IS WHAT THE RESONATORS 'SOUND' IS BASED ON!


In 1978 the KORG MS20 Sythesiser was released, the most distinct feature of this synth is it's distinctive High and Low Pass resonate filter section that allows musicians to give their instruments and records an amazing analog treatment by running through the synthesisers filters.

The 'MS20's Filter Section however sounded SO GOOD, that since KORG stopped manufacturing the MS20 in 1983 the rare synthesisers have been much sought after by musicians and producers just for the 'Filter Sounds' alone - some being exchanged on the second hand market for US$800 plus.

The Korg MS20 filter sound can be found on some of the most influential recordings of recent times...

FROSTWAVE NOW OFFERS YOU THE MS20 SOUND

IN A STOMP BOX! , INTRODUCING...


THE FROSTWAVE RESONATOR - ANALOG EFFECTS UNIT






The Frostwave Resonator is a 'true clone' of the filter section of the KORG MS20 Sythesisers. It consists of a high and low pass filter in series, with resonance and cutoff controls for each, plus a balance control and bypass switch. All fitted ( or should we say retro-fitted) into a tough robust compact blue metal stomp box.





Resonator by itself generating it's own sounds

The sockets at the back of the unit enable the Resonator to be used with, or to be controlled by, analog synth equipment. Low Pass resonace, High Pass resonace, Low Pass frequency and High Pass frequency are all able to be controlled by standard analog control voltages, or by a MIDI to Control Voltage convertor.


LIMITLESS CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES FOR YOUR MUSIC


You can run anything into the Resonator.... Get the fatest warmest analog synth tones out of your cheesy casiotone keyboard. Get the 'sub-bass frequencies occilating on your drum samples. Mutating the weediest of samples, make the subtle extreme. Warm the tone of your instruments and studio recordings.


"I create a variety of electronic music styles, and can find a use for this baby anywhere. I'm a big fan of the Korg MS series, and the Resonator integrates perfectly into my setup. "

Mike Funaiole, Impossible Sound MA USA

"(The) Frostwave Resonator is by far the best filter I have yet used. The sound is very unique, even when compared the MS20 filter. I personally love the sound of running some gated and overdriven drums through it, opening the filters gives it an awesome crunch and grit fom low depth ranges to hi filtered heaven."

Joshua Strurkie, California USA

"for guitar, it provides a sound palette not normally available to a guitarist. using a variable LFO, it can sound like a tremoloed wah , it can sound like the longest slowest, deepest phaser available, it can sound like a ray gun from the mother ship....and so on. any one of these sounds is worth having the Resonator, but with all of them in one box, it makes it essential to have one."

Ryan Willis , Austin TX USA

"I'm definitely not an analog zealot but when I use my Frostwave on any of my FM's or Romplers (of which I have aplenty) it makes good sounds great."
