CUTOFF FREQ Sets the initial cutoff frequency for the selected filter type.
RESONANCE This allows you to sharpen the point at the cutoff frequency thereby
emphasising the harmonics at that point in some way (the exact effect
depends on the type of filter selected). The range is 0-15.
NOTE: Because of the high amounts of gain boost that take place with resonance, high settings
of resonance can cause distortion. If you experience such distortion, either back off the
resonance parameter a bit or, alternatively, reduce the input level to the filter using the
ATTENUATION parameter described below.
In extreme cases where the above measures do not reduce distortion, one option is to re-scale
the level of the actual sample(s) down in EDIT SAMPLE / MASTER.
KEYBOARD TRACK Here you may set the keyboard to track the filter. This is so that you can
achieve an even tone across the keyboard range. +12 is the default and
this tracks the filter octave for octave - i.e. for every shift of pitch of one
octave, there is an according shift in cutoff frequency.
MOD INPUT 1/2/3 Here you may set the depth of the selected filter modulation controllers.
Different controllers may be assigned and mixed at these inputs for a
wide variety of filter sweeps and effects. These can range from subtle
timbral changes on an acoustic piano sound by routing a small amount
of velocity control. On the other hand, you could mix LFO1 (whose rate
is being controlled by, say, the modwheel) in with LFO 2 (whose depth is
being controlled by, say, the AUX ENVELOPE and whose rate is being
controlled by velocity) and also an inverted version of the AMP ENV for
outrageous synthesiser effects!
Pressing the mod input keys twice allows you to change the controller
assigned to the input.
FILT ENVELOPE Takes you to the filter’s dedicated ADSR envelope page.
FILT ENV DEPTH Sets the amount of sweep by the filter’s envelope. Note that this is a
duplication of the same parameter in the FILTER ENVELOPE page - it
is included here for convenience.
NOTE: When using the VOWELISER filter, because of the way the filter envelope controls the
filter, it is recommended that this parameter is set to +000
ATTENUATION This allows you to turn down the level of the signal going to the filters to
compensate for potential distortion when using high resonance settings.
The range is 0-30dB in 6dB steps. 0dB is the normal setting but if you
experience any distortion with higher resonance settings, try adjusting
ATTENUATION.
NOTE: The gain boost produced by the ‘+’ type filters (i.e. 2-POLE LP+, 2-POLE BP+ and 1-
POLE HP+ can be so severe that even an ATTENUATION setting of -30dB may not be enough
to reduce distortion. In this case, back off the resonance a little or try other means of level
reduction.
