The second Envelope tab contains the filter modulation envelope.
Use the Type field to select a filter for the selected pad. See Appendix > Glossary > Filter for an explanation of the
available filter types.
Use the Cutoff knob to set the cutoff frequency for low-pass and high-pass filter types or the center frequency for
band-pass and band-stop filter types.
Use the Res knob to set the resonance/emphasis of the frequencies around the cutoff point.
Tip: Use values lower than 80 to give more brilliance to the sound. At values higher than 80, the sound will result in a
strong audible boost around the cutoff frequency.
The Filter Envelope controls affect the filter frequency. Use the fields or tap and drag the “handles” of the envelope
to shape the envelope or time-variant modulation output. Adjust the envelope’s influence on the filter frequency with
the Depth knob. See the later Anatomy of an Envelope section to learn about the envelope parameters.
Use the Depth slider to determine the amount of influence the filter envelope has on the cutoff frequency. Higher
settings will increase the modulation of the filter by the envelope; lower settings will result in only subtle changes of
the filter Cutoff over time.
Tip: To give a sound a more distinctive attack, increase the Depth setting and set low Attack and Decay values
as well as a medium-low Sustain value of the Filter Envelope. This will start a sound with the filter opened and close
it shortly afterward, giving it a bright start followed by a darker sustain. String sounds, on the other hand, can sound
much more “alive” with low Depth settings and a high Attack value, resulting in a slight fade-in of the higher
frequencies.
The Velocity Modulation controls determine how much the velocity affects the cutoff frequency of the filter envelope
(Cutoff), the attack phase of the filter envelope (Attack), and/or depth of influence the filter envelope has on the
cutoff frequency (Depth).
When you press a pad softly, only minimal modulation is applied. When you press it harder, the modulation amount
also gets stronger depending on the setting of the corresponding slider.
