The collaboration with Dutch developer 112dB packs five chromatically tuned resonating delay lines into a compact aluminium unit.
Erica Synths has teamed up with Dutch plugin developer 112dB on the Razornator, a stereo effects unit built around five chromatically tuned resonating delay lines. In short, it turns any sound into a tuned, ringing resonance, like running your signal through an invisible, tunable physical object – like a guitar body or a struck piece of metal.

The unit runs on five tuned delay lines that ring out in response to whatever signal you feed in. Because they’re chromatically tuned, you can set them to musical intervals, so the resonance sounds like a chord rather than noise. An envelope follower also tracks the dynamics of your playing, adding extra movement and life to the effect as you go.
Before any of that happens, the signal passes through a gain stage that can push it hard enough to act as a basic overdrive, then through a filter to shape the tone. After the resonators do their thing, a compressor evens everything out, the wet and dry signals get blended, and a final EQ stage shapes the tone before it heads to the outputs.
All 12 parameters can be saved and recalled, and everything responds to MIDI, including the pitch of the resonators themselves, so you can play them like an instrument. A footswitch input gives you hands-free control on stage, and preset morphing lets you blend smoothly between saved settings rather than jumping between them.
The Razornator built into the same aluminium enclosure as the rest of Erica Synths’ compact desktop range, and runs a true stereo signal path from input to output.
