Resonator
The sound of the human voice or of acoustic instruments can be characterized by
their distinctive formant regions, that is, by resonances in the frequency spectrum
that are typical for a particular sound.
For example, the vowel "ah" (as in father) sung by a male singer has 3 characteristic
formants: F1 = 570 Hz, F2 = 840 Hz, and F3 = 2410 Hz. The Resonator effect
allows you to induce such formant regions to a sound by using 3 filters that are
connected in parallel. You can specify the positions and levels of the formant
regions by adjusting the Cutoff, Resonance, and Gain parameters of the filters.
The Resonator effect comes with 14 predefined filter shapes that determine the
basic sound character. In addition, 3 LFOs can be used to modulate each filter
separately, which allows for adding extra motion to the sound.
