frequencytracksthepitchofthekeyboard:
1. SettheFilter“Frequency”to30.
2. SettheKeyboardTrack“IntensitytoA”to+99.

Filter Keyboard Track is also an AMS source
YoucanusethekeyboardtrackingasanAMSsourceto
modulateotherparameters,justliketheenvelopesand

Filter EG
TheFilterEGmodulatestheFilterAandBcutofffrequen‐
ciesovertime.YoucancontrolhowstronglytheEGwill
affectthefiltersinthreedifferentways:
•SetaninitialamountofEGmodulation, usingthe
IntensitytoAandBparameters.
•UsevelocitytoscaletheamountoftheEGappliedtoth
e
filter.
•UseanyAMSsourcetoscaletheamountoftheEG
appliedtothefilter.
Youcanuseallthreeoftheseatonce,andtheresultsare
addedtogethertoproducethetotalEGeffect.
TosetuptheEGitself,includingattackandreleasetimes,
levels,andsoon,pleasesee“Filter1EG”onpage 42.
Velocity to A [–99...+99]
ThisletsyouusevelocitytoscaletheamountoftheFilter
EGappliedtoFilterA.

Withpositive(+)values,playingmorestronglywillincrease
theeffectoftheFilterEG,asshowninexampleBabove.
Withnegative(–)values,playingmorestronglywillintro‐
ducetheoppositeeffectofth
eFilterEG–likeinvertingthe
polarityoftheenvelope.Youcanusethisinseveraldifferent
ways:
•YoucansetaninitialpositiveamountwiththeIntensity
toA/Bparameters,andthenreducethisamountwith
velocity.Inthiscase,thefinaleffectoftheEGissimply
diminished,andno
tactuallyinverted,asshownin
exampleCabove.
•YoucanalsosettheVelocitytoA/Bamountssothatthey
aregreaterthantheinitialamountsofIntensitytoA/B.In
thiscase,theEGwillhaveapositiveeffectatlowveloc‐
ities,andaninvertedeffectat high ve
locities–asshown
inexampleD.
Intensity to A [–99...+99]
ThiscontrolstheinitialeffectoftheFilterEGonFilterA’s
cutofffrequency,beforeanyvelocityorAMSmodulation.
TheFilterEG’sshapecanswingallthewayfrom+99to–99.
Positivevaluesincreasethecutofffrequency,andnegative
valuesdecreasethecutofffrequency.Forinstance,pleasesee
thegraphic“V
