In Level
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level
Controls the output level of the block.
Mute mode
See Mute mode in the introduction of this chapter.
Resonance
The Resonance filters are basically a high and low cut filter
that can be swept up and down the frequency range. When
the Resonance (Q-factor) parameter is increased, the filter’s
peak at the cutoff frequency gets very narrow and very steep.
That is at the very core of the characteristic sound of
Resonance filters.
NOTE: The peak of the filters can get very loud and can
easily hit the internal ceiling and thereby cause distortion. To
prevent that, turn down the input level of the Filter block.
RESONANCE
Order
The Order parameter of the resonance filters changes the
steepness of the filters. 2nd order filters are 12dB/Octave
while 4th order are 24dB/Octave. 4th order filters will “ring”
or resonate more than 2nd order filters.
Locut freq
Sets the frequency of the Locut resonance filter.
Hicut Freq
Sets the frequency of the Hicut resonance filter.
Lo Resonance
Sets the amount of resonance on the Locut filter.
Hi Resonance
Sets the amount of resonance on the Hicut filter.
Try to connect an LFO or an expression pedal to the
two frequency parameters using the Modifier Matrix.
Mix
Mix between direct sound and effect.
In Level
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level
Controls the output level of the block.
Mute mode
See Mute mode in the introduction of this chapter.
Wah Wah
WAH WAH
Freq
The frequency of the Wah Wah. Connect this parameter to an
LFO, ENV or an expression pedal and you will get
Autowah, Touchwah, or Manual Wah.
Instrument mode
This parameter changes the range of the Wah Wah between
guitar and bass ranges.
Mix
Mix between direct sound and effect.
In Level
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level
Controls the output level of the block.
Mute mode
See Mute mode in the introduction of this chapter.
Formant filters
The Formant filters are somewhat special. They can create a
new sound for you. Imagine a pedal that does not say WAH
WAH, but instead goes OOWEE-OOWEE. Formants are
also known as the vowels of human speech. The basic idea is
that you set three coordinates, Start, Thru and End in a
frequency area, and then move your sound up and down the
curve you created with the coordinates.
FORMANT CURVE
Start
The Starting point of the formant curve.
