Xaoc Devices Oradea | Quad analogue resonator demo & patch ideas

video upload by Tom Churchill

"This is Oradea, from Xaoc Devices. It’s a four-channel analogue resonator which you can use to process external audio or generate sounds from scratch. This video is sponsored by Xaoc Devices, and in it, I’ll walk you through the front panel controls and build a few patches to show what it can do.

Big shout to DivKid once again for the audio swap - look out for his Oradea video soon!"

Introducing Oradea & Arad by Xaoc Devices

Intro video for Oradea. You can find additional posts here.

"Oradea [ˌɔraˈdɛa] is a quadruple voltage controlled analog resonator. You can use it to enhance external audio or to generate tones. It can mimic the resonant characteristics of physical objects or spaces. Oradea’s frequency response can be tuned over the entire range of audible frequencies with V/oct response. The module offers precise control over the resonance of each band up to extremely high values with long response to pinging. Oradea is additionaly equipped with four individual trigger inputs for exciting its filters with internally generated, uniform, and finely tuned impulses.

Individual outputs allow you to externally process each band separately. Resonant frequency gain compensation prevents uncontrolled distortion (the gain at peak does not increase with resonance). There is a VCA and a polarity switch in each channel, so you can remotely shape the overall amplitude and manually change the phase response.

Arad [ˈarat] is an expander for the Oradea quadruple resonator. It adds three additional features. Arad features direct audio inputs for individual channels, so you can use each channel for a different audio source (the individual channel outputs are already incorporated into the main module). There are buttons and gate inputs for manual and/or remote clickless muting and unmuting of the channels. Another group of four buttons acts in parallel to the EXCITE inputs of Oradea, allowing for manual triggering.

Xaoc introducing Oradea and Arad | Superbooth 2025

video upload by Thomann Synthesizers

"XAOC launched Oradea and its expander, Arad. The Oradea is an analog quad resonator featuring four bandpass filters designed to process and generate sounds while maintaining exceptionally high resonance and Q values. The emphasis was on creating a resonator effective for "pinging" without self-resonating, ensuring audible pings even at high frequencies. Each channel of Oradea hosts individual controls for frequency, peaking, and volume, which can be modulated via CV inputs."

Xaoc Devices Introduces ORADEA and ARAD Eurorack Modules

Press release follows:

ORADEA
QUADRUPLE VOLTAGE CONTROLLED RESONATOR
MODEL OF 1950

ARAD
RESONATOR COMMANDER
MODEL OF 1950

Please welcome Oradea: a quadruple voltage controlled analog resonator. You can use it to enhance external audio or to generate tones. It can mimic the resonant characteristics of physical objects or spaces. Oradea's frequency response can be tuned over the entire range of audible frequencies with V/oct response. The module offers precise control over the resonance of each band up to extremely high values with long response to pinging. Oradea is additionaly equipped with four individual trigger inputs for exciting its filters with internally generated, uniform, and finely tuned impulses.

Individual outputs allow you to externally process each band separately. Resonant frequency gain compensation prevents uncontrolled distortion (the gain at peak does not increase with resonance). There is a VCA and a polarity switch in each channel, so you can remotely shape the overall amplitude and manually change the phase response.

By adding Oradea's expander Arad, you gain three additional features. Arad features direct audio inputs for individual channels, so you can use each channel for a different audio source (the individual channel outputs are already incorporated into the main module). There are buttons and gate inputs for manual and/or remote clickless muting and unmuting of the channels. Another group of four buttons acts in parallel to the TRIG inputs of Oradea, allowing for manual triggering.

Oradea main features:
- width 20HP
- depth 40mm (including cable bracket)
- +210mA/-190mA
- Four independently adjustable bands
- Manual and voltage control over tuning frequency, resonance, and level
- Joint and individual CV inputs with calibrated V/oct tracking
- Dedicated trigger inputs for exciting individual channels
- Individual outputs and mixed output
- Signal polarity switchable for each channel
- Signal level indicators with multi-color LEDs

PRICE: 520 EUR MSRP, available next month!

Arad features:
- width 6HP
- depth 30mm (including cable bracket)
- +10mA/-0mA
- clickless muting and unmuting buttons and gate/trigger inputs
- manual trigger buttons
- individual audio input for each channel

PRICE: 120 EUR MSRP, available next month!
