Resonator: Controls
A. FREEZE button. If you are satisfied with the sound of the current voice and want to
keep it running (maybe as a drone, using the other voice for melody), press Freeze: it
will instantly switch voice, and prevent Trig from automatically switching voice.
B. Blending parameter/Audio quality button. Selects which of the blending parameters
is controlled by the BLEND knob and CV input, or selects one of the four audio quality
settings.
C. Load/Save button. See the “Advanced topics” section in the original manual.
D.TIMBRE & DURATION (POSITION). Controls the timbre and duration of the noise
burst. CCW, it will be longer and more dampened; CW, it will be shorter and more high
pitched. At both ends of the knob, the burst will be inaudible (too damped or too short),
which you can use to "mute" a voice. Roughly models the position on which the string is
struck.
E. CHORD (SIZE), Chord selection for the current voice. Morphs gradually between
Unison, Fat, Superfat, Fat power, Fat octave, Octaves, Power, Major, Major7, Minor7,
Minor, Sus2, Sus4, Minor9, Major9, Minor11, Major11, and Major11.
In fact, each voice consists of four "parts" (four resonators), which can be set to differ-
ent pitches to form chords. The Size knob sets the chord, borrowed from Braids:
unison, detuned, fifth etc. At any time, the knob control only the parameters of the reso-
nators of the active voice
F. Pitch shift (PITCH) (transposition). Base pitch of the current voice. At 12 o'clock, the
pitch is A3 (220Hz). At any time, the knob control only the parameters of the resonators
of the active voice
G. Audio INPUT GAIN, from -18dB to +6dB.
H. DECAY (DENSITY) Decay is controlled by the Density knob
I. DAMPENING (TEXTURE) Controls filtering in the feedback loop of the resonator. At
12 o'clock, no filtering is applied; CCW, a low-pass filter is applied with a increasingly
low cutoff frequency; CW, a band-pass filter at the frequency of the resonator is applied
with an increasingly high resonance. The resonators can sound very metallic; the Tex-
ture knob helps attenuating the high/low frequencies each time sound passes through
the resonator. At 12 o'clock, no filtering is applied; CCW is a low-pass filter; CW is a
band-pass filter. This way, a short sound impulse passing through the resonator will
have a long decay with less and less high (and possibly low) frequency.
