POS — Excitation position. Controls on which point of
the string/surface the excitation is applied. Applying
the excitation right in the middle of the surface will
cause, by symmetry, the even harmonics to cancel
each other, resulting in a
hollow
sound reminiscent of
a square wave. This setting will remind you of the PWM
control on a square oscillator, or of the comb-filtering
effect of a phaser.
POLY — Polyphony setting. Selects between
monophonic, duophonic and quadriphonic operation.
MODE — Resonator type. Selects between modal,
sympathetic and string resonators.
STRUM — Strumming trigger input, for polyphonic
operation. Whenever a trigger is received on this input,
the module freezes the currently playing voice and lets
it decay, and starts a note on the next voice. Normalized
to a step detector on the
V/OCT input and a transient
detector on the
IN input.
IN — Audio input for the excitation signal. Modular
levels are expected. Normalized to a pulse/burst
generator that reacts to note changes on the
V/OCT
input.
V/OCT — CV input. Controls the main frequency of the
resonator.
