This parameter controls the amount of oscillator cross modulation that is applied to VCO2 from VCO1.
Cross modulation, also called FM synthesis, is when the output of VCO1 is used to modulate the
frequency of VCO2. From vibrato-like pitch variations, to harsh clanging metallic noises, to bell type
sounds, a broad range of sound is possible with cross modulation.

This will display the VCF page. Here, the filter can be edited. Each parameter can be selected by using the [CURSOR] to select each field and
turning the [DATA] wheel.

The following parameters are available to be edited.

Sets the frequency start point for the filter. This field also appears on the Basic page. See page 117 for more
information.

Sets the amount of emphasis to be applied to the cutoff frequency of the filter. This field also appears on the Basic
page. See page 117 for more information.

Selects the type of filter to be used. This field also appears on the Basic page. See page 117 for more information.
The following types are available;
LoPass
This filter cuts out the high frequencies and passes the low frequencies.
HiPass
This filter cuts out the low frequencies and passes the high frequencies.
BPass
Band Pass Filter. This filter passes the selected frequencies and cuts out the other frequencies.
BStop
Band Stop Filter. This filter cuts the selected frequencies and passes all other frequencies.
BBoost
Band Boost Filter This filter boosts the selected frequencies and passes all other frequencies.
Model1
This is an analog style 4-pole filter, modeled after a famous vintage semi-modular synthesizer.
This filter will clip (distort) when fed a loud input level.
Model2
This is another analog style filter with a mellow resonance, and slight fattening distortion in the
lower frequencies.
Model3
This filter is a crazy analog modeling filter capable of howling, piercing resonance and jaw-
rattling sub frequencies. Watch your speakers!
