Reso Resonance Controls
Resonance Amount
Resonance Amount controls the intensity of
harmonic overtones produced by the Resonator.
Increasing the Resonance Amount will increase
the overall harmonic content of the sound while
increasing the sustained portions of the gener-
ated harmonics.
The frequency content of the input signal largely
determines what harmonics are generated by the
resonator. For this reason, the character of the
resonance will change according to the type of
audio that you process.
Resonance Velocity
Resonance Velocity increases or decreases reso-
nance according to how hard a MIDI key is
struck and how much resonance is initially spec-
ified with the Resonance Amount control.
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 control depends on the
Resonance Amount setting. For example, if Res-
onance 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 control 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.
Reso Damping Controls
Damping Amount
Damping causes the high-frequency harmonics
of a sound to decay more rapidly than the low
frequency harmonics. It lets you control the
brightness of the signal generated by Reso's Res-
onator and is particularly useful for creating
harp or plucked string-like textures.
The range of this control is from 0 (no damping)
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 control.
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
applied. 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 control 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 control is
set to 10, setting Damping Velocity to +10 will
have no effect since damping is already at its
maximum.
Resonance Velocity has an effect only when
you play Reso with a velocity-sensitive
MIDI controller.
