The Resonator
The basic concept of the Resonator is sound creation by
using an initial exciter signal (typically a short noise im-
pulse) which goes through a bandpass filter bank, where
its resonating filters finally produce a ringing sine-like
sound. Based on different Timbre modes, the partials of
this signal can be adjusted in many ways.

Press the Resonator button to acti-
vate the Resonator for the correspon-
ding oscillator 1, 2, or 3. The whole
oscillator section lights up in red.

Further parameters can be found on the correspon-
ding display page. Read more on the next page.
The Resonator can also be fed with one or more samples
(instead of using a noise impulse). You can load one single
sample as well as multi samples that were mapped over
the keyboard range.

For a better understanding on how the Resonator
works, we recommend initializing a sound program
(on the
Load page) and starting with a default Re-
sonator. Try out all parameters to become familiar
with the functionality of this powerful sound crea-
tion tool.
Resonator Panel Parameters
Semitones
Sets the pitch of the Resonator in semitone steps. The
standard setting for this parameter is
0 , but there are cases
where different values are interesting as well.
Fine Pitch
Fine-tunes the Resonator in steps of 1/128th of a semito-
ne. The audible result of detuned oscillators is a Chorus
effect. Use a positive setting for one oscillator and an equi-
valent negative setting for another.
Repeats
Determines how often the exciter signal is repeated. The
higher the value (up to 16), the more repeats are included
in the sound. The speed of the repeats depends on the
Decay settings on the Resonator display page.
Spread
Extends or compresses the partials of the resonator, which
leads to massive timbre changes. There are two
Spread
modes that can be set on the Resonator display page.
