 The overall modulation applied to the filter’s cutoff frequency is calculated as the sum of both
the Env and Velocity parameters. Therefore you should always bear this total in mind,
especially when the filter does not behave as you expect. You can also create interesting effects
by setting one parameter to a positive and the other to a negative amount.
Type see chapter “Filter Types”
Selects the filter type. Further information on the different filter types is given at the end of this
chapter.
 Usage of Filters (especially comb filters) requires DSP Power, and therefore can reduce the
available polyphony. A filter switched to “ Bypass” doesn’t need any DSP Power at all.
Panning left 64…center…right 63
Determines the position in the stereo panorama. When the setting is left 64, the sound is panned far
left; when the setting is right 63, it is panned far right. If you want to situate the sound in the middle of
the stereo panorama, use the center setting. To give further movement to the sound, set this parameter
to a basic value and apply some modulation to it via the PanMod parameter in the Filter Edit menu.
Filter Edit Menu
The following parameters can be accessed via the Filter Edit menu. If you are in the Filter section
press the Edit button to activate this display menu.

F1 ModSrc – Filter 1 Cutoff Mod Source see Table “Fast Modulation Sources”
Selects the source of the cutoff modulation for Filter 1.
F1 Mod – Filter 1 Cutoff Modulation -64…+63
Controls the amount of cutoff modulation for Filter 1. Positive amounts will increase the cutoff
frequency when positive modulation is applied, e.g. by pressing the aftertouch on the keyboard.
Negative amounts will decrease the cutoff frequency when positive modulation is applied.
