# Mixed Resonance — VoiceNet dimension guide

*Category:* Resonance Placement · *code:* `vn_R_MIXD` · *slot:* 81

This dimension measures balanced resonance across multiple cavities. Merge the `__high` / `__low` LoRA from `laion/moss-voicenet-dimension-loras` at 25/50/75/100/125%. Costs are shifts vs. the 24-sample neutral baseline.

**TL;DR.** **Mixed Resonance** controls balanced resonance across multiple cavities. The **__high** LoRA shifts it +0.04 at 125% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.26); the **__low** LoRA shifts it +0.00 at 25% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.11). The **__high** direction is the stronger, more reliable knob here.

## ▲ HIGH — Mixed Resonance __high

| dose | target | Δtarget | Δgenu | Δblend | Δqual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| baseline (0%) | 0.426 | — | — | — | — |
| 25% | 0.424 | +0.00 | -0.03 | +0.07 | +0.02 |
| 50% | 0.429 | +0.00 | -0.04 | -0.03 | +0.05 |
| 75% | 0.436 | +0.01 | -0.02 | -0.05 | +0.04 |
| 100% | 0.444 | +0.02 | -0.05 | -0.05 | +0.05 |
| 125% ★ | 0.462 | +0.04 | -0.12 | -0.26 | +0.08 |

- **EmoNet emotion** — ↑ Concentration (+0.39), Emotional Numbness (+0.32), Contentment (+0.24); ↓ Longing (-0.46), Sadness (-0.39), Helplessness (-0.38)
- **VoiceNet dimension** — ↑ Velocity Flux (+0.68), Head Resonance (+0.65), Teacher/Didactic Style (+0.61); ↓ Genuineness (-0.43), Cognitive Load (-0.40), Disfluency (-0.38)

Merging **Mixed Resonance __high** ramps the dimension: at the recommended **125%** dose the measured Mixed Resonance score moves from a 0.43 baseline to 0.46 (a +0.04 shift). The dose-response is clean and monotonic — each step pushes the dimension further. That reach is a real cost — the biggest hit is to **burst-blend** (-0.26); across the board genuineness -0.12, burst-blend -0.26, speech quality +0.08. Emotionally it reads as Concentration (r 0.39), Emotional Numbness (0.32) and Contentment (0.24), and it moves away from Longing, Sadness and Helplessness. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Velocity Flux (0.68), Head Resonance (0.65) and Teacher/Didactic Style (0.61), while pulling down Genuineness, Cognitive Load and Disfluency. Practical call: merge __high at **100–125%**; expect Concentration and Velocity Flux to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Concentration bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Longing to keep the mixed resonance shift without the side-effect.

## ▼ LOW — Mixed Resonance __low

| dose | target | Δtarget | Δgenu | Δblend | Δqual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| baseline (0%) | 0.426 | — | — | — | — |
| 25% ★ | 0.422 | +0.00 | +0.03 | -0.11 | -0.10 |
| 50% | 0.447 | +0.02 | -0.02 | -0.17 | +0.00 |
| 75% | 0.450 | +0.02 | -0.08 | -0.25 | +0.04 |
| 100% | 0.466 | +0.04 | -0.10 | -0.39 | +0.05 |
| 125% | 0.461 | +0.03 | -0.10 | -0.39 | -0.07 |

- **EmoNet emotion** — ↑ Teasing (+0.36), Concentration (+0.34), Hope/Enthusiasm/Optimism (+0.28); ↓ Fatigue/Exhaustion (-0.52), Distress (-0.40), Pain (-0.38)
- **VoiceNet dimension** — ↑ Velocity Flux (+0.73), Valence (+0.63), Head Resonance (+0.63); ↓ Cognitive Load (-0.69), Genuineness (-0.57), Disfluency (-0.55)

Merging **Mixed Resonance __low** damps the dimension: at the recommended **25%** dose the measured Mixed Resonance score moves from a 0.43 baseline to 0.42 (a +0.00 shift). The dose-response is mostly ordered but noisy between doses. That reach is a modest cost — the biggest hit is to **burst-blend** (-0.11); across the board genuineness +0.03, burst-blend -0.11, speech quality -0.10. Emotionally it reads as Teasing (r 0.36), Concentration (0.34) and Hope/Enthusiasm/Optimism (0.28), and it moves away from Fatigue/Exhaustion, Distress and Pain. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Velocity Flux (0.73), Valence (0.63) and Head Resonance (0.63), while pulling down Cognitive Load, Genuineness and Disfluency. Practical call: merge __low at **a light 25–50%**; expect Teasing and Velocity Flux to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Teasing bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Fatigue/Exhaustion to keep the mixed resonance shift without the side-effect.
