The parallel path handles fricatives and is structured differently from the cascade.

The parallel path handles fricatives and is structured differently from the cascade. In the cascade, resonators are in series (output of one feeds the next), so bandwidth changes compound through the chain. In the parallel path, each resonator operates independently on the input and their outputs are summed with individual amplitude controls (pa1-pa6).
It's why we only scale cascade as an upcoming voicing tone feature. Parallel does not compound the way cascade does (since they're independent, not in series) -

Like the track narrows, so one train would have to go ahead of the other in order for them both to make it? Lol! Love you, eccentric little code monkey!

@RainbowFyre you got it! The cascade is a conga line where everyone holds the shoulders of the person in front, so if everyone squeezes tighter (narrower bandwidth), the whole line gets compressed together. The parallel path is more like six people standing side by side each doing their own dance, then you just add up all their moves at the end! Squeezing one dancer doesn't affect the others.
