Some questions to paul

[Thiago Born]

Hi... first .. thanks for the great synth......

1) What is the 'resonance' button in the ADsynth module? it control what exactaly?
2) what exactaly the waveshapers do in the ADSynth osc page.....
3) what is "rev"?in the B.f mod combo box...?

Hi... first .. thanks for the great synth......

1) What is the 'resonance' button in the ADsynth module? it control what exactaly?

The resonance button in ADsynth module opens the Resonance window
The resonance function acts exactly as the name says. You can consider that it puts the instrument (or voices selected for resonance - default all) into a "box" that resonances some frequencies.
<for tehnical ppl>
The implementation is a bit different from the above, because the resonance is applied before the sound starts (and not with FFT/IFFT stuff).

2) what exactaly the waveshapers do in the ADSynth osc page.....

The waveshapers distotions the waveform. That's all they does. Play with it to see more.

3) what is "rev"?in the B.f mod combo box...?

It modulates in the frequency the base function or the oscillator.
First it multiplies the frequency with a value (-1,1,2,3,4,5,etc) and then modulates with a sine function. It's called "rev" from "Reverse", because it allows you to reverse the function (by multiplying the freq with -1 - that is the sound reversal).
The sine mode does the same thin with the exception that the modulator changes the frequency (by parameters).
The Pow, uses different function.
