Ableton/Live/UG/29 Audio Effect Reference/10 Corpus/01 Resonator Parameters
- Resonance Type:
- Beam — beams of various materials and sizes
- Marimba — a beam tuned like arch-cut marimba bars
- String — strings of various materials and sizes
- Membrane — a rectangular membrane such as a drum head
- Plate — a flat rectangular plate
- Pipe — a tube open at one end, with a variable opening at the other
- Tube — a tube open at both ends
- Resonator Quality — fewer overtones (Eco) for less CPU, more (High) for richer resonance; not for Pipe or Tube
- Decay — internal damping and so decay time
- Material — how damping varies with frequency: low values let lows ring longer (wood, nylon, rubber), high values let highs ring longer (glass, metal). Pipe and Tube show Radius instead: a wider tube rings longer and brighter, and at extremes changes pitch.
- The X-Y controller also sets Decay and Material/Radius.
- Bright — level of higher frequencies; not for Pipe or Tube
- Inharm — squeezes (negative) or stretches (positive) the harmonics; not for Pipe or Tube
- Opening (Pipe only) — 0% closed at one end, 100% open at both
- Ratio (Membrane and Plate) — proportions of the x and y axes
- Hit — strike point, from center (0%) toward the edge; not for Pipe or Tube
- Width — stereo spread of the left and right resonators, mono at 0%
- Pos. L / Pos. R — where each resonator is "listened to", from center toward edge; Pipe and Tube are always heard at the open end
- Tune — resonator frequency in Hz, or coarse offset when MIDI Frequency is on in the sidechain
- Fine — fine offset in cents for MIDI Frequency
- Spread — detunes the two resonators in opposite directions
