<div dir="ltr">Just a thought: skip the voltage control, put in digipots for the panel controls, and make the whole thing programmable. Especially for use as a resonator, it would be cool to dial in several acoustic instrument responses and then be able to bring them up quickly. Okay, maybe keep voltage control of the center frequency for nifty sweep sounds. <div><br></div><div>And while we're talking about resonators and the ARP 2700 (over on AH), has anybody ever found schematics for, and successfully duplicated the fixed filter / resonator section of the ARP Soloist and Pro Soloist? Seems like that has a history of pretty useful acoustic instrument responses. Also, has anyone ever run a poly synth through a Soloist resonator section? Also also, how does the Soloist switch presets? Are there a bunch of relays or transistor circuits in there switching different resistor and cap values around?</div><div><br></div><div>Tim (on a questionable question quest) Servo</div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="m_3983868467844303282gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><br><br></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Oct 12, 2018 at 1:52 AM Tom Wiltshire <<a href="mailto:tom@electricdruid.net" target="_blank">tom@electricdruid.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>

That’s possibly useful, but missing the point of a resonator, I’d say. The idea is that we’re modelling the resonances of a instrument body in some way, and those are fixed for a given instrument. That’s a key part of what gives one instrument a different character from another.<br>

I believe it's only partly thanks to the resonator, but also thanks to his craftsmanship (or many hours of exploration) that he can make it sound this good.<br>
<br>
Certainly his playing is a big part of the success of that video. He takes a “trumpet-like” sound, but then does a very good job of playing it like a trumpet. If you’d done the “Jump” chords (for example) instead, it wouldn’t have sounded half as good.<br>
