CHAPTER 2. ANATOMY AND FUNCTIONS
6. ENGAGE - This footswitch turns the entire Resotron on and
off. When the engage light is turned off, the Resotron is true
bypassed.
7. CUTOFF - This knob sets the resonant frequency of the lter.
Depending on the FILTER MODE setting, this position of the
CUTOFF knob will produce dramatically different sounds.
8. PEAK - This knob sets the amount of resonance in the fil-
ter. When the PEAK knob is fully clockwise the VCF will self-
oscillate. This creates a sine wave drone that will continue to
play regardless of a signal at the INPUT jack. When the OS-
CILLATE switch is pressed in, the PEAK knob is shorted to
maximum.
9. SENSITIVITY - This knob sets the responsiveness of the en-
velope follower in the ENV UP and ENV DOWN modes only.
When the SENSITIVITY knob is fully counterclockwise the en-
velope follower is turned off.
10. GLIDE - This knob determines the rate of portamento for the
PITCH mode only. This is heard as the time it takes for the
filter cutoff to move between the notes you play. Lower GLIDE
settings provide a fast, snappy filter motion that jumps quickly
between pitches. Higher GLIDE settings cause a more legato
filter motion. When the OSCILLATE switch is pressed in, the
GLIDE function sets the time it takes for the sine wave voice
to move from one note to another. This is heard as a glissando
effect.
Note: Turning the GLIDE control fully counter-clockwise
will disable the portamento function, providing the fastest, most
accurate pitch-tracking.
11. BLEND - This knob mixes in Pigtronix signature Philosophers
Tone compression before the filter. This powerful optical com-
pression stage adds considerable volume and clean punch to the
audio signal, without changing the response of the envelope fol-
lower! The compression BLEND knob allows the Resotron to
