7: Resonator

• This display will not appear — “Resonator is not used” will appear

— if the “RES on/off” block in the “Impulse Expander & Resonator

Setting” page is turned “off” (≥ Page 124). All level and balance settings

relating to the Resonator are also available in that display page.

• Press the • button (“Set”) to go directly to the “Impulse Expander & Reso-

nator Setting” page.

While the Impulse Expander tends to give the sound a metallic quality, the Resona-

tor produces a more woody resonance effect. Careful adjustment of the resonator’s

parameters can often bring a not-quite-right voice to life.

DL1 … DL5

≤ 0.29 msec … 41.54 msec.

These parameters independently set the delay times for the Resonator’s five delay

lines.

Delay times for “natural” effects can be calculated by dividing the instrument’s

body dimensions by the speed of sound (34 centimeters per millisecond). for example, an

instrument with a body which measures 68 cm x 34 cm would naturally include delay

times of 2 msec (68/34 = 2 msec) and 1 msec (34/34 = 1 msec. These values can then be

fine-adjusted to achieve the desired results.
