ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 100
Tone Section
The Tone section, in the lower right part of the Aetherizer, holds parameters modifying the
tonal color of the grains:
• Transposecontrol: Adjusts the transposition of the grains (in semitones).
• Filterswitch: Enables/disables the lter at the grain level.
When the Filter switch is activated, the Tone section offers you the following additional pa-
rameters to control the lter:
•
FilterModemenu: Selects between two lter modes: BP (bandpass lter) and Comb (comb
lter).
• Frequencycontrol: Denes the cutoff frequency of the grain-level lter.
• Resonancecontrol: Denes the resonance of the grain-level lter.
•
FilterQuantizemenu: Allows you to select one of the Filter Quantization modes (see next
section for a description of these modes).
%
If the lter is activated and Comb mode is selected in the Filter Mode menu, turn the Rate
down to hear lower pitches better. For example if the Rate control is set at 200Hz and the
Frequency control at 50Hz, the grain is too short for the pitch to build up in the comb lter. By
lowering the Rate value, the lower frequencies should become audible ringing in the comb lter.
Filter Quantization Modes
The lter shaping the tone of each grain can have its cutoff frequency quantized according
to various modes.
!
The quantization of the cutoff frequency can only happen if you allowed the cutoff frequency
to “move” around the basic Frequency control value. You can achieve this by setting the
Random Frequency control to its right at a non-zero value (see below for more details about the
Random parameters).
