Resonator
Decay
Sets
the
resonator
decay
time.
This
affects
all
partials
equally.
Resonator
Low
Cut
Attenuates
the
lower
partials
when
clearer
or
brighter
sounds
are
desired.
Set
to
0
to
hear
the
full
spectrum
of
the
resonator.
Resonator
Position
Controls
where
the
exciter
signal
is
applied
on
the
resonator.
This
affects
the
relative
amplitude
of
the
partials.
Varies
from
the
edge
(0)
to
the
middle
of
the
object
(127).
When
the
resonator
is
excited
in
the
middle,
many
of
its
partials
are
completely
attenuated,
resulting
in
a
hollower
sound.
This
is
especially
obvious
for
the
string
which
loses
all
of
its
even
harmonics
and
sounds
like
a
filtered
analog
square
wave.
Resonator
Tone
Changes
the
relative
decay
of
the
partials.
Perceptually,
this
parameter
affects
the
object’s
material.
Depending
on
the
resonator
type,
lower
values
may
evoke
wood,
nylon
or
plastic,
while
higher
values
may
evoke
metal
or
glass.
Resonator
Inharmonicity
Changes
the
frequency
ratio
of
the
partials
relative
to
the
root
frequency.
The
range
of
this
parameter
is
bipolar,
from
-64
to
+63.
Negative
values
will
bring
the
partials
closer
together,
while
positive
values
will
spread
them.
Large
inharmonicity
values
have
a
major
impact
on
the
timbre
of
the
resonator:
a
string
with
a
large
negative
or
positive
inharmonicity
value
will
not
sound
like
a
string
anymore.
Resonator
Pitch
Envelope
Amount
Sets
the
amount
that
the
internal
pitch
envelope
affects
the
resonator
pitch.
The
range
of
this
parameter
is
bipolar,
from
-64
(-1
octave)
to
+63
(+1
octave).
Resonator
Pitch
Envelope
Time
Sets
the
length
of
time
it
takes
for
the
internal
pitch
envelope
to
reach
its
final
value.
