[   Resonator   |   Drone   |   Tuning   |   Scale   ]

The Sympathetic Resonator can be placed in a mode where it will "self-drone". In this mode, the strings will be excited with a shaped noise burst at a given rate (frequency). The string display at the top shows the Note:Octave of each string and how often it's excited statistically.

Parameters:

Drone Group

Drone

Drone is used to turn on/off self-droning of the Sympathetic Resonator strings.

Pattern

Used to turn on using a droning pattern defined under the tuning tab.

Amplitude

Sets the level of the noise burst used to excite the resonator strings.

Frequency

Used to set the rate which the resonator strings are excited.

Brightness

Used to shape the frequency content of the noise burst used to excite the resonator strings.

Variance

Sets a statistical variation for which strings are excited. A low variance will mostly excite the lower strings in the resonator. A higher variance will excite the high strings as well. The statistical variation is approximately Gaussian centered on the lowest string.

Attack

Sets the attack time (in seconds) of the excitation. A low value is a quick excitation. A larger value is a longer more drawn out excitation.

Release

Used to set the release time (in seconds) for how long it takes for the string to decay.

Noise

Noise sends continuous noise excitation to the resonator strings.

Feedback and Distortion Group

Coupling

Coupling is used to enable coupling between the resonator strings. A value of 0.0 is no coupling and a value of 1.0 is maximum coupling.

Level

Feedback gain that scales the sum of all string outputs before they are delayed and summed into all strings.

Drive

Used to introduce distortion to the resonator strings.

Distance

Distance in feet from an amplifier speaker that is feeding back into the resonator strings.
