Resonator
While the Impulse Expander tends to give the sound a metallic quality, the Resona-
tor produces a more woody resonance effect. Careful adjustment of the resonator’s
parameters can often bring a not-quite-right voice to life.
■
The Resonator Parameter Page
The Resonator basically consists of five parallel delay lines with independently
programmable delay times (
DL1
through
DL5
, variable from 0.25 to 41.45 milliseconds).
Other parameters include variable “ Decay Time ”, “ LPF Cutoff Freq. ” (low-pass
filtercutoff frequency), “
Diffusion
”, and “
Phase
”.
Like the Impulse Expander, the Resonator is not essential for all voices and can be
turned completely off when not needed. It also has “
Input Gain
”, “
Wet Level
”,
and stereo “
Level Balance
” parameters that allow its effect to be blended into the
main sound as required (the cursor is moved around the block diagram in the “IE & RSN
SETTING” page, shown below, to select the parameters associated with the various
blocks).
