Kurzweil:Resonance

From Sonikmatter

Resonance is a characteristic of a Filter that features feedback. Filters must have at least two poles, in order to be capable of Resonance. Resonance is ringing near the Cutoff frequency caused by increasing the Gain of the signal that is fed back into the filter, and with excessive amounts of Gain the Filter can become unstable and start to self-oscillate, generating a sine wave.

Resonanace is really a measure of Filter dampening. An over-damped Filter is one that doesn't oscillate at the Cutoff frequency (such as the One-pole Lowpass and One-pole Highpass Filters. A critically damped Filter is at the edge of oscillating/ resonanting, and an under-damped Filter is one where the filter does resonate.

Resonanace is sometimes called Emphasis or Q on other synthesizers.
