3.8.11 Filterbank
The F ilterBanK effect splits the incoming audio signal into eight frequency
bands, each with a bandwidth of 1.25 octaves (15 semitones). With SHiFt
and lr S Plit set to zero, the center frequencies are: 30Hz, 71Hz, 170Hz,
403Hz, 960Hz, 2282Hz, 5429Hz, 12912Hz. Each band also has a
level slider to adjust individual levels before the bands are mixed back
together.
The S HiFt control moves all center frequencies up and down by a specied
number of semitones, while the lr SPlit control creates a wider stereo
image by sending alternate frequency bands slightly to the right or left of
the stereo eld.
At rst look, the F ilterBanK may seem like a graphic equalizer. The ability to
alter band levels, center frequencies and stereo imaging, allows dramatic
sound shaping that is impossible with standard equalization techniques.
