Nave’s filter also features a resonance parameter. Reso-
nance in the context of a low, band or high pass filter
means that a narrow frequency band around the cutoff
point is emphasized. The following picture shows the
effect of the resonance parameter on the filter’s fre-
quency curve:

If the resonance is raised to a great extent, then the filter
will begin to self-oscillate, i.e. the filter generates an
audible sine wave even when it does not receive an
incoming signal.
