Vortex Resonators

["Hogan, Greg" <GHogan@lexicon.com>]

Michael asked:"So what does the vortex resonator do differently?"

Well the Vortex doesn't really have what I would call a resonator.  It has 
parameters labeled resonance which are handled differently within each of 
the algorithms:

In the  Reflection algorithms resonance controls the gain of the signal 
that 
resonates off of the detuned voices.

In Atmosphere A Resonance 1 is the gain for the signal that resonates off 
of 
vibrato 1and Resonance 2 controls the gain of signals resonating off of 
the 
cross mix of the two vibratos.

In Atmosphere B Resonance 1 is a mix control between 2 delay taps and 2 
modulators and Resonance 2 provides tuning for the 2 modulators.

In the both Orbits algorithms and the Centrifuge A algorithm Resonator 1 
and 
2 provide resonance off of the rotary signals 1 and 2.

In the Centrifuge B algorithm the Resonance parameters control the gain of 
the resonance from each of the rotary signals.

In the Aerosol algorithms Resonance 1 mixes the left and right modulation 
signals together and Resonance 2 affects the stereo image of the 
modulation 
effects.

In the Mosaic algorithms the Resonance parameters adjusts the resonance of 
each of the modulation effects.

In Maze A Resonance 1 is the resonance gain for the modulator and 
Resonance 
2 controls the tuning.

In Maze B Resonance 1 controls the gain for the left detune and Resonance 
2 
controls the gain for the right detune.

In Duo A Resonance 1 controls the level of the resonation of the vibrato 
effects and     Resonance 2 controls the mix of the resonation off of the 
2 
vibrato effects.

In Duo B Resonance 1 controls the gain of the resonation of the vibrato 
effects and resonance controls the cross mix between the 2 vibratos.

In the Deja Vu algorithms Resonance A is the gain for the resonation of 
the 
stereo glide and Resonance 2 is the gain of the cross-resonation of the 
stereo glide.

In the Choir algorithms Resonance 1 is affects the resonance for the 
multi-chorus L-R cross mix and Resonance 2 affects the resonance for the 
multi-chorus R-L cross mix.

In Shimmer A Resonance 1 controls the cross resonance gain of the 
modulated 
effects and Resonance 2 controls the tuning of the cross resonance.

In Shimmer B Resonance 1 controls the gain of the stereo resonator and 
Resonance 2 controls the tuning of the resonator.

In the Sweep algorithms Resonance 1 controls the left resonance and 
Resonance 2 controls the right resonance.  In Sweep A the resonance is on 
the glide effect and in Sweep B the resonance is on the vibrato effect.

In Shadow A Resonance 1 controls the  R-L cross resonance of the modulated 
signal and Resonance 2 controls the L-R cross resonance of the modulated 
signal.

In Shadow B Resonance 1 controls the low-pass filter cutoff frequency and 
Resonance 2 controls the cross-resonance of the modulated signal.

In the Cycloid algorithms Resonance 1 controls the left filter cutoff 
frequency and Resonance 2 controls the right filter cutoff frequency.

In Bleen A Resonance 1 controls the gain of the resonator and Resonator 2 
controls the tuning of the resonator.

In Bleen B Resonance 1 is the gain for the left detune and Resonance 2 is 
the gain for the right detune.

In the Fractal algorithms Resonance 1 controls the resonance off of the 
stereo glide effect and Resonance 2 controls the gain of the 
cross-resonance 
of the stereo glide.

According to the designer of Vortex any similarities of the Vortexs' 
resonator to that of any of its predecessors is purely coincidental.

Sorry for the long post.
