T-RESONATOR

TIME WOVEN FILTER MATRIX

Operating Manual

Thank you for using the Jomox T-Resonator! We hope you will
enjoy this unique device and have lots of great fun with it.

“T“ stands for “Time“.
“The T-Resonator transforms timely events into an analog filter
feedback network.“

● What does that mean? The T-Resonator is a stereo filter made
with analog circuits and capable of feedback, with an integrated
stereo digital delay. The digital delay, which features analog
feedback loops, is literally “woven” into the circuits.

● The stereo filter contains every possible internal feedback path, all
controlled using the Feedback, Mix 1/2 and FM 1/2 controls, with a
dedicated knob for each of them.

● The filters are two 4-pole, 24 dB/octave transistor ladders made
entirely from discrete parts.

● 8 different chorus/delay/reverb algorithms can be chosen for the
delay section, which has 2 independent delay lines with different
delay times and feedbacks. The delay times extend from less than
1ms to 1 second, the actual range and structure depending on the
chosen algorithm.

● Moreover, the T-Resonator contains a sine wave LFO that can run
on its own or be shaped by the audio envelope. All aspects of the
LFO are controlled by a single knob. In the center position the
amount is zero, turning to the left controls audio-enveloped LFO,
and turning to the right controls LFO running freely.

● The sine LFO gets retriggered by the audio signal depending on
the input gain. The envelope is generated by an audio envelope
follower, and the LFO and envelope can be combined.

● Extremely versatile modulations are possible with this unique
structure.

● The delay feedback routes back from the outputs of the analog
filters into the analog inputs of the delay line.

● You can easily create seesaw analog echoes, “Klingon”alien insect
voices using extreme feedback or membrane-like sounds by “wave
guide” algorithm and many more.

● Because the feedback audio is analog, the resulting audio sounds
very organic. The screaming analog feedback can repeat itself via
delay and create new sound patterns by layering.

How to hook up the unit

Before connecting, please turn off all other devices.

On the back side of the T-Resonator you will find these connections:

Power supply:

Please connect the provided wall wart adapter to the 9V AC~ power
jack. If, for any reason, you cannot use the original wall wart
adapter, please take care to use an alternate current power supply
with 9V AC~ 500mA. Never use an AC/DC adapter as the T­Resonator might be damaged!

Audio inputs:

Please connect the audio signals to be processed here. If you only
need a mono signal, please use the input labelled (Mono) L.
The T-Resonator has Hi-Z (high impedance) inputs, allowing you to
plug in an instrument like an electric guitar or a bass directly to the
inputs without any loss in sound. The gain reserve is enough to
amplify a weak guitar signal to drive the filters. Unbalanced line
audio signals of practically every level can also be processed.

Audio outputs:

The output signals of both filters are split out here.

Caution: On some settings of filter feedback, extremely loud and
powerful bass signals or feedback sounds may occur that can
damage your speakers or ears! Please consider using a limiting
device or a lower mixing level!
