(8 bit resolution). If set to 1, the result is pretty brutal: Each sample contains either a full
positive or full negative signal, with nothing in between.
Bit Reduction denes an input signal of 0dB as 16 bit. Signals above 0dB are clipped, and
the red overload LED will light up.
Turning off Bit Reduction results in modest CPU savings.
19.17 Resonators
The Resonators Effect.
This device consists of ve parallel resonators that superimpose a tonal character on the
input source. It can produce sounds resembling anything from plucked strings to vocoder-
like effects. The resonators are tuned in semitones, providing a musical way of adjusting
them. The rst resonator denes the root pitch and the four others are tuned relative to this
pitch in musical intervals.
The input signal passes rst through a lter, and then into the resonators. There are four
input lter types to select from: lowpass, bandpass, highpass and notch. The input lter
frequency can be adjusted with the Frequency parameter.
The rst resonator is fed with both the left and right input channels, while the second and
fourth resonators are dedicated to the left channel, and the third and fth to the right
channel.
The Note parameter denes the root pitch of all the resonators ranging from C1 to C5.
It can also be detuned in cents using the Fine parameter. The Decay parameter lets you
