Resonance
Resonanceemphasizesthefrequenciesaroundthe
cutofffrequency,asshowninthediagrambelow.
Whenthisissetto0,thereisnoemphasis,and
frequenciesbeyondthecutoffwillsimplydiminish
smoothly.
Atmediumsettings,theresonancewillalterthetimbre
ofthefilter,makingitsoundmorenasal,ormore
extreme.Atver
yhighsettings,theresonancecanbe
heardasaseparate,whistlingpitch.

Modulating the filters
Youcanmodulatethefiltercutofffrequencyusingthe
FilterEG,theLFOs,keyboardtracking,andother
built‐inandMIDIcontrollers.Thisisagreatwayto

Filter EG
TheFilterEGisamulti‐stageenvelope,whichyoucan

LFO modulation
YoucanmodulatethefilterviaLFO1,LFO2,andthe
CommonLFO.Amongotherapplications,LFO
