Cutoff changes only 1 HALF OCTAVE
FOR EVERY OCTAVE change in the
highesl note played. This fends
to
make
lower notes brighter (more overtones)
than higher notes, since the VCF cuts out
more
and more overtones es the pitch of
a note rises.
Cutoff is NOT AFFECTED by keyboard
pitch. Lower notes are much brighter than
higher notes, as explained above.

The next three parameters, POLARITY, EG INT and TRIG-
GER,
a,,
affect
the way that the VCF “envelopes” or changes
timbre over the life of a single note. These
dontours
(produc-
ed by DEG 3) are very important in creating expressive
sounds.
Getting a sound “just right” will oflen require you
IO
go back and forth between ALL of the VCF parameters several
times, since they all interact in praducingithe final sound.

POLARITY
The Polarity parameter determines how the Cutoff
Fre-
quency is affected by Digital Envelope Generator
s-3.
*When Polarity equals
2
,
the Cutoff Frequency is
swept UP during the attack portion of the envelope.
and down during the decay portion etc.. for a “nor-
mal” envelope effect.
l When Polarity equals

,
the Cutoff Frequency is
swept DOWN during the attack portion of the
envelope (the envelope is inverted).

no effect, regardless of its setting.

Slope cycle to sweep the
VCF. The Envelope attack cycle will NOT
be retriggerad (restafled) by any new keys
played until ALL keys are released and
a
new “first key” is played.
This allows you to use your playing style
to control when new VCF attacks will
occur For example, legato playing
could produce smooth even sounds,
while staccato playing could produce
sharp percussive sounds.
