5.1.4.2. The resonance
A second setting to compliment the cut-off frequency: the resonance. You will also find it
called “Emphasis” or “Q” – for Quality of filtering.
The resonance amplifies frequencies close to the cut-off frequency. The other frequencies
remaining are either unchanged (below the cut-off frequency) or reduced (above the cut-off
frequency).
On the Mini V, you can increase the rate of resonance through the “emphasis” knob.
When you increase the resonance, the filter becomes more selective, the cut-off frequency
is amplified, and the sound begins to “whistle”.
With a high resonance level, the filter will begin to produce a sound close to a sine
waveform. At this stage, the use of a key follow is very important as you can create a
melody by tuning the cut-off frequency of the filter with the frequency of the oscillators.
