CREATING SOUNDS
-CUTOFF
Th is determines the cutoff frequency of the low-pass
filter. The higher the cutoff frequency, the less effect the
filters have on the basic waveforms (since more fre-
quencies are passed).
At the highest value, 63, all harmonics are passed. The
lower the value, the more harmonics are cutoff, so the
sound becomes progressive ly rounder or less bright.
-RESONANCE
This emphasizes the harmonics near the cutoff frequen-
cy, producing a characteristic peaky or bandpass type
of sound.
The higher the value, the higher the resonance peak
and the more obvious the effect. At or near the max-
im um value 31, the VCFs go into self-oscillation, pro-
duc i ng a pure sine wave, which can be u sed as an add i-
tional sound source for special effects. T he pitch of the
VCF tone is affected by the Cut Off, Keyboard Track, EG
INT, and MG VC F parameters.
