Ratio is only available for the Membrane and Plate resonators, and adjusts the ratio of the
object's size along its x and y axes.
The Brightness control adjusts the amplitude of various frequency components. At higher
values, higher frequencies are louder. This parameter is not used with the Pipe or Tube
resonators.
Inharm. (Inharmonics) adjusts the pitch of the resonator's harmonics. At negative values,
frequencies are compressed, increasing the amount of lower partials. At positive values,
frequencies are stretched, increasing the amount of upper partials. This parameter is not
used with the Pipe or Tube resonators.
Opening, which is only available for the Pipe resonator, scales between an open and closed
pipe. At 0%, the pipe is fully closed on one side, while at 100% the pipe is open at both
ends.
The Listening L and R controls adjust the location on the left and right resonator where the
vibrations are measured. At 0%, the resonance is monitored at the object's center. Higher
values move the listening point closer to the edge. These parameters are not used with
the Pipe or Tube resonators, which are always measured in the middle of their permanently
open end.
The Hit knob adjusts the location on the resonator at which the object is struck or otherwise
activated. At 0%, the object is hit at its center. Higher values move the activation point
closer to the edge. This parameter is not used with the Pipe or Tube resonators.
The processed signal is fed through a lowpass and highpass lter that can be controlled
with an X-Y controller. To dene the lter bandwidth, click and drag on the vertical axis. To
set the position of the frequency band, click and drag on the horizontal axis. The lter can
be toggled on or off with the Filter switch.
Width adjusts the stereo mix between the left and right resonators. At 0%, both resonators
are fed equally to each side, resulting in mono output. At 100%, each resonator is sent
exclusively to one channel.
Bleed mixes a portion of the unprocessed signal with the resonated signal. At higher values,
more of the original signal is applied. This is useful for restoring high frequencies, which
can often be damped when the tuning or quality are set to low values. This parameter is
unavailable with the Pipe or Tube resonators.
