I don't know who brought this up for the first time, and I don't know if
it's
true either.

What I know is that some string pads (from Crumar Performer) processed
by my 3100 resonator clone sound very similar to something from Oxygene
or Equinoxe. Does this mean that JMJ must have done it the same way - no.
Does this mean that the Resonator can only produce phaser-like sounds -
neither.
But the Resonator is surely capable to emulate some typical phaser sounds.
3 resonant peaks are what you get from a 6-stage phaser with feedback.
On the phaser, the spacing of the 3 peaks is fixed, on the Resonator it's
variable.
But not by CV; a CV will shift them all the same way, very phaser-like
again.
The MAM and MOTM versions of the Resonator can also shift the individual
peaks in different directions by CV.

So the MAM and MOTM devices can emulate the Korg Resonator sounds,
and the "Phaser-like" sounds, plus more. The Korg Resonator can still
emulate
the "Phaser" stuff, plus  more.
