FILTER

The filter page looks something like this:

The filter plays a key part in any sound and is responsible for some of the most dramatic real-time

effects available on the S6000. Amplitude can change level and panning can move the sound

around in the stereo image and, of course, you can add vibrato from LFO 1. The filters, on the

other hand, can totally transform a sound (especially with 26 to choose from!). So, before we look

at the various parameters, what is a filter?

A filter is a device that selectively removes, attenuates or boosts part of the sound and lets other

parts pass through unaffected. Almost every sound is made up of a series of very simple sine

waves at different frequencies. There is a fundamental frequency (i.e. the pitch of the note you are

playing) and then multiples of that frequency. These are called harmonics (sometimes also referred

to as overtones):

Fundamental

1st Harmonic (X2F)

2nd Harmonic (X3F)

3rd Harmonic (X4F)
