Resonance Velocity
Resonance Velocity increases or decreases reso-
nance according to how hard a MIDI key is
struck and how much resonance is initially
specified with the Resonance Amount parame-
ter.
Resonance Velocity is adjustable from a low of
–10 to a high of +10. With positive values, the
harder the key is struck, the more resonance is
applied. With negative values, the harder the
key is struck, the less resonance is applied.
The effectiveness of this parameter depends on
the Resonance Amount setting. For example, if
Resonance Amount is set to 0, setting the Reso-
nance Velocity to a negative value will have no
effect, since there is no resonance to remove.
Similarly, if the Resonance Amount parameter is
set to 10, setting Resonance Velocity to +10 will
have no effect since the resonance is already at
its maximum.
For optimum effect, set the Resonance Amount
to a middle value, then set Resonance Velocity
accordingly for the desired effect.
Damping Amount
Damping causes the high frequency harmonics
of a sound to decay more rapidly than the low
frequency harmonics. It allows you to control
the brightness of the signal generated by Reso's
Resonator and is particularly useful for creating
harp or plucked string-like textures.
The range of this parameter is from 0 (no damp-
ing) to 10 (maximum damping). The greater the
amount of damping, the faster the high fre-
quency harmonics in the audio will decay and
the duller it will sound.
Damping Velocity
Damping Velocity increases or decreases damp-
ing according to how hard a MIDI key is struck
and how much damping is initially specified
with the Damping Amount parameter.
Damping Velocity is adjustable from a low of
–10 to a high of +10. With positive values, the
harder the key is struck, the more damping is ap-
plied. With negative values, the harder the key
is struck, the less damping is applied (which
simulates the behavior of many real instru-
ments).
The effectiveness of this parameter depends on
the Damping Amount setting. For example, if
Damping Amount is set to zero, setting the
Damping Velocity to a negative value will have
no effect, since there is no damping to remove.
Similarly, if the Damping Amount parameter is
set to 10, setting Damping Velocity to +10 will
have no effect since damping is already at its
maximum.
For optimum effect, set the Damping Amount to
a middle value, then set Damping Velocity ac-
cordingly for the desired effect.
Harmonics
The resonator adds harmonic overtones to the
source audio signal that are integer multiples of
the fundamental frequency of the signal. The
Harmonics parameter selects between all of
these harmonics, or just the odd-numbered in-
tervals. Your choice will affect the timbre of the
sound.
Resonance Velocity has an effect only when
you play Reso with a velocity-sensitive
MIDI controller.
Damping Velocity only has an effect when
you play Reso with a velocity-sensitive
MIDI keyboard controller.
