SELECT: Selects one of 32 wave shapes: 1-3: for subtle coloration and grittiness, 4-11:
phasey and peaky 12-19: lowpass 20-23: bandpass & highpass 24-27: notch 28-32:
harmonic.
▪
LIMIT: Upper amplitude limit to prevent unpleasant high amplitudes.
5.11 Filter 2
Filter 2 takes the signal from filter 1 and filters it. It contains filters that combine well
with the high frequency damping types of filter 1. That includes a 'Highpass' filter, effect
type filters like a 'Phaser' and a 'Comb' filters and innovative new designs like 'Waterbed',
'Gaps' and 'Unisono Noise'.
5.11.1 Filter Smoother
On the left hand side of the filter the 3 controls of the 'Filter Smoother' are located. It’s
active for all filter types. It smooths fast amplitude changes caused by the filter for each
partial. With extreme settings the smoothing results in reverb like effects.

▪
ATT
: Attack time of the smoother. Defines the amount of smoothness if the partial am
plitude is rising.
▪
DEC
: Decay time of the smoother. Defines the amount of smoothness if the partial am
plitude is falling.
▪
DAMP
: High frequency damping. It reduces the decay time of the smoother for higher
frequency partials.
5.11.2 Lowpass
Lowpass filter with extended features to the classic lowpass design.
