The Radius parameter is only available for the Pipe and Tube resonators. Radius adjusts the ra-
dius of the pipe or tube. As the radius increases, the decay time and high frequency sustain both
increase. At very large sizes, the fundamental pitch of the resonator also changes.
The Decay and Material/Radius parameters can also be controlled with the X-Y controller.
Ratio is only available for the Membrane and Plate resonators, and adjusts the ratio of the ob-
ject’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, fre-
quencies are compressed, increasing the amount of lower partials. At positive values, frequen-
cies 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 vibra-
tions 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 ac-
tivated. 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 filter that can be controlled with an
X-Y controller. To define the filter bandwidth, click and drag on the vertical axis. To set the posi-
tion of the frequency band, click and drag on the horizontal axis. The filter 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
