Introduction
The resonator is a special Filter, its operation is based on the same circuit of the
legendary synthesizer PS3100 / PS3300 by Korg. The purely analogue filters are
realized by means of photocouplers (so-called "Vactrols"), which are characterized
by low noise, a high superconducting strength and a slow response.
Possible applications:
• filter sweeps
• Phaser / Flanger-like effects
• dynamic sound changes
Principles Of Operation
The input signal (mono) passes through 3 parallel bandpass filters, whereby the
intrinsic sound of the resonator is created by the high Q (resonance) of this
bandpass filter. Impressive stereo effects can be achieved by modulating the
resonance frequencies with different LFO signals. Dynamic sound changes result
from the ENV modulation. The bandpass filters are controlled by envelope
followers, which react to different frequency ranges. In addition, an external
voltage can be connected as a modulation source.
