Resonance Amount controls the intensity of harmonic overtones produced by the Resonator. Increasing the Resonance Amount will increase the overall harmonic content of the sound while increasing the sustained portions of the generated harmonics.
The frequency content of the input signal largely determines what harmonics are generated by the resonator. For this reason, the character of the resonance will change according to the type of audio that you process.
Resonance Velocity increases or decreases resonance according to how hard a MIDI key is struck and how much resonance is initially specified with the Resonance Amount control.
Resonance Velocity is adjustable from a low of –10 to a high of +10. With positive values, the harder the key is struck, the more resonance is applied. With negative values, the harder the key is struck, the less resonance is applied.
The effectiveness of this control depends on the Resonance Amount setting. For example, if Resonance Amount is set to 0, setting the Resonance Velocity to a negative value will have no effect, since there is no resonance to remove. Similarly, if the Resonance Amount control is set to 10, setting Resonance Velocity to +10 will have no effect since the resonance is already at its maximum.
For optimum effect, set the Resonance Amount to a middle value, then set Resonance Velocity accordingly for the desired effect.

Damping causes the high-frequency harmonics of a sound to decay more rapidly than the low frequency harmonics. It lets you control the brightness of the signal generated by Reso's Resonator and is particularly useful for creating harp or plucked string-like textures.
The range of this control is from 0 (no damping) to 10 (maximum damping). The greater the amount of damping, the faster the high-frequency harmonics in the audio will decay and the duller it will sound.
Damping Velocity increases or decreases damping according to how hard a MIDI key is struck and how much damping is initially specified with the Damping Amount control.
Damping Velocity is adjustable from a low of –10 to a high of +10. With positive values, the harder the key is struck, the more damping is applied. With negative values, the harder the key is struck, the less damping is applied (which simulates the behavior of many real instruments).
The effectiveness of this control depends on the Damping Amount setting. For example, if Damping Amount is set to zero, setting the Damping Velocity to a negative value will have no effect, since there is no damping to remove. Similarly, if the Damping Amount control is set to 10, setting Damping Velocity to +10 will have no effect since damping is already at its maximum.
For optimum effect, set the Damping Amount to a middle value, then set Damping Velocity accordingly for the desired effect.

The resonator adds harmonic overtones to the source audio signal that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency of the signal. The Harmonics control selects between all of these harmonics, or just the odd-numbered intervals. Your choice will affect the timbre of the sound.
Adds all of the harmonic overtones generated by the resonator. In synthesizer parlance, this produces a somewhat buzzier, sawtooth wave-like timbre.
Adds only the odd-numbered harmonic overtones generated by the resonator. In synthesizer parlance, this produces a somewhat more hollow, square wave-like timbre.
Reso can automatically toggle between the All and Odd harmonics settings, producing a rhythmic pulse in the timbre.
Harmonic toggling can be controlled either by triggering (using the dynamics of the source audio itself, or those of an external key input) or by MIDI Beat Clock.
Toggles the harmonics from a separate reference track or an external audio source. The source used for toggling is referred to as the key input and is selected using the Side-chain Input pop-up. You can assign either an audio input channel or a TDM bus channel.
Typically, a drum track is used as a key input so that toggling occurs according to a definite rhythmic pattern.
When enabled, monitors the source of the key input. It is useful to do this to fine tune Reso’s settings to the key input.
Sets the level in decibels above which toggling occurs. When the audio input level rises above the Threshold level, Reso will toggle its harmonics setting. The range of this control is from a low of –48 dB (maximum toggling) to a high of 0.0 dB (no toggling). If no key input is used, the dynamics of the source audio will trigger toggling. If a key input is used, the dynamics of the key input signal will trigger toggling. Threshold-based switching can be used at the same time as Key Input-based switching.
Triggers toggling in sync with a MIDI Beat Clock signal. This creates a very regular, highly rhythmic wave sequencing effect that is ideal for sessions arranged around MIDI beat clock. This control can be set to quarter, eighth, or sixteenth notes, or dotted triplet values of the same.
