RES

0–127

Increases the level of the cutoff frequency itself to add a popular classic synth char-

(Resonance)

 

acter to the sound. Excessively high settings can produce oscillation, causing the

 

 

sound to distort.

Higher settings produce greater amounts of change to the original Cutoff setting.
