True resonance, captured live
​
With Convolution Resonators for each string, Toni feels alive,
and responds like an acoustic instrument.
THE MECHANICS
Convolution Resonator Library
Discrete IR models for each string, captured using a US patent pending method. This not only adds overtones, it allows string interaction. Chords bloom and evolve. Each string has unique resonant behavior, faithfully capturing differences in resonance due to overlapping string location, tuning, age of strings, and more.
3D Release Matrix
With 36 release velocity layers spread across multiple release velocity planes, Toni is built to accurately reproduce lingering resonances and mechanical noises when keys are lifted. This enables staccatos that sparkle, smooth trills, and delicate slow releases.
Coherent Imaging
All notes, mechanical noises, and resonance IRs are captured through the same mic array with the same gain staging. This prevents mechanical noise from sounding detached, prevents image drift, and allows Toni to realistically scale in size with reverb and compression.​
