While the Impulse Expander tends to give the sound a metallic quality, the Resona-
tor produces a more woody resonance effect. Careful adjustment of the resonator's
parameters can often bring a not-quite-right voice to life.

0.29 msec ... 41.54 msec.
These parameters independently set the delay times for the Resonator's five delay
lines.
Delay times for "natural" effects can be calculated by dividing the instrument's
body dimensions by the speed of sound (34 centimeters per millisecond). for example, an
instrument with a body which measures 68 cm x 34 cm would naturally include delay
times of 2 msec (68/34 = 2 msec) and 1 msec (34/34 = 1 msec. These values can then be
fine-adjusted to achieve the desired results.
