Am I missing something as the Resonator introduces a big latency when using Note CV In?

Thor for the synth sound and CV Source: MIDI Note > 100 > CV Out 1

Also the manual (for the VST no less) doesn't explain how these CV inputs should work.

Its so good for tone coloration of noise or drum loops.
Reaktor have class of instruments (pluck, ets) what works on this base - delay with time equal period for selected note.

These are dope. Great, compact, and straight forward.

Am I the only 1 that thinks there should be a line marking the center of the stereo field on the stereo display? Something like this? The way it is right now, I cant tell the difference between center and slightly off-center.

However, I put a Selig Gain after the Kilohearts Limiter and I am seeing peaks over 0dB. I had to drop the Output gain of the Limiter by almost 6dB to get the Selig Gain to register 0dB.

Can anyone confirm this?
I tested this, leaving the Threshold at 0dBFS and cranking the input gain till I reached around 10dB of gain reduction and nothing went past 0dBFS.
You must have the Master Compressor after your Master Suite?

It is actually a nice little Limiter, thanks KiloHearts for the free gifts, just in time for my birthday.

yes no brickwall/clipping
yes my wrong, it is brickwall for sure.

re: Limiter

The (limited amount of) limiters I've used had their Output as the ceiling. I had the Threshold cranked and Output at just under 0dB. User error here... :redface: Carry on.

Yeah, I've gone from "this is quite good for a free chorus" to "no, this is just a really good chorus, period"!

Maybe you should calculate from the prices of each individual RE. The discount is more than enough.

No latency here when using it with a Matrix, RPG-8, Distributor, ABL3, etc.
I'm not too familiar with Thor and it's programming...

I'm not able to check now, maybe you are triggering extra low frequencies?
Try playing higher notes or adjusting the Resonator's octave up?

In case you weren't aware... via the custom display, you can adjust the note, octave, and cent individually. You can use the knob to quickly reset the pitch or assign/edit automation :thumbs_up:

What are you trying to do? When I want to control the note of Resonator in conjunction with than of another instrument, I place them in a Combinator and attach the note out from something like an RPG-8 (Arp off) to the note input of Resonator. Then I give the Combinator MIDI focus.

It sounds like what you are doing with Thor is on the right track, but I'm not familiar and not in a place to test that approach right now.
Hope that helps!

I wonder If the Stereo Re is from the 'Stereo Turbo' knob in Faturator?

No, Thor's MIDI to CV is bipolar and have note off as 0.
Its real problem for converting midi to cv note by Thor, but you always can use midi to cv from RPG-8 or take CV Note from any stock and RE sequencers (btw and Thor' sequencer too, from sequencer's cv/gate sockets at bottom of device)

Faturator's stereo knob is actually just the Haas effect (slight delay to either L or R channel only). that's covered by their 'Haas' RE. I think the 'Stereo' RE is like Reason's stock stereo widener (mid/side balancing), but I'm not positive

I tried kHs Stereo, the mid and width knobs do the same thing as Stereo Splitters (Quadelectra) mid and side knobs do. Turn up the the width and all you do is increase the volume on "side".
The Mclass Stereo Widener seems to do something else from my experience. Its wide knob doesn't increase the volume, it just makes it wider somehow.
Stereo Splitter and kHs Stereo has a different effect on the mono compatibility compared to Mclass Stereo Widener.

But I'm no expert in these things. This is just based on my own experience and fiddling around with these tools. Go and try and compare them for yourself.

To answer some other questions (I'm on my phone right now though, but feel free to send mail to support@kilohearts.com with suggestions and questions.)

Limiter is brickwall, but does not take intersample peaks into account.

As mentioned, the note CV output from Thor is different from other devices and not very compatible with our Note CV. What happened with the Resonator was likely getting a reeeeeally low resonating frequency, which then starts to turn it into a delay almost. Recommend using RPG-8 for turning midi into usable CV (but in the long run we'd like to add midi support directly to the devices where applicable).

The Stereo device does not add any stereo content (except panning) to a mono signal, it only enhances or reduces the stereo content that is already there.

Thanks for all the kind words. Keep tool...boxing, people! <3
