The Fusion has several different filter types that you can select in this
menu. The on-screen diagram shows the shape of filter you’ve selected.
Menu: Program/Synth/Filter
Parameter: Steep
Value Range: 1-pole, 2-pole, 4-pole, 6-pole, 8-pole
This parameter determines the number of poles on your filter. Filters
with one or two poles are more gradual whereas filters with six or eight
poles are much steeper in cutoff. All filters on the Fusion except the 1-
pole have variable resonance (see below).
Menu: Program/Synth/Filter
Parameter: Frequency
Value Range: 20.000 Hz to 20.000 kHz
This parameter sets the point (or region) at which the filter starts
affecting the incoming signal. As you change this value, you will see the
cutoff point move right or left to correspond with your changes.
Menu: Program/Synth/Filter
Parameter: Resonance (Not available on 1-pole filter Steep setting)
Value Range: 0-100%
Filter resonance is a “bump” that is located at the cutoff frequency of a
filter. This resonance is a big part of the unique “sound” of many of the
analog synthesizers from the 70s and 80s. The Fusion allows you to add
as much (or as little) resonance as you’d like using this parameter. The
shape of the filter on the screen will change to reflect how much
resonance you’re adding.
