Description
XO Gold — Mechanical Resonator
XO Gold is a compact experimental percussion instrument built around a mechanical spring resonator with a built-in pickup and digital effects processor. The spring acts as the sound source, which you can play by hand or trigger electronically.
It can function as a percussion instrument, a resonant sound generator, or an unusual effects processor.
Key Features
-
Mechanical spring resonator with built-in pickup
-
Playable by hand or with trigger / gate signals
-
Works as percussion, resonator, or effects processor
-
Compact experimental sound device
Sound Capabilities
-
Bass drum–like hits
-
Plucked and metallic sounds
-
Karplus–Strong–style resonances
-
Bit-crushed and distorted textures
-
Resonant basslines with sequencing
Effects
-
Resonant delay / feedback
-
Bit-crushing
-
Ring modulation
-
Pitch shifting
Controls
Three parameter modes (LED indicated):
-
1 blink — Feedback
-
2 blinks — Size / resonance length
-
3 blinks — Time
Each mode remembers the knob position.
Connectivity
-
Trigger / Gate input
-
CV input for parameter modulation (vactrol-style response)
XO Gold is designed for hands-on experimentation, helping you discover unique resonant “sweet spots” in the mechanical spring.
