Resonance

Make the filter sing at its cutoff point.

Raise resonance and sweep cutoff — the whistling peak that became acid, techno and a thousand leads.

Promise: “I can shape a note with resonance.”

Experiment #04

Make the filter sing at its cutoff point.

You should hear…

Without resonance, a smooth darkening. With it, a whistling peak that follows the knob — the acid squelch.

Doesn’t sound right?

Too loud or screechy? Back RESO off and drop LEVEL a little; high resonance boosts energy at one band.

Try it on your gear

Why it sounds like that

Resonance feeds the cutoff frequency back into itself, emphasising a narrow band. Combined with a filter envelope, it writes the classic acid vowel.
