380 Live Instrument Reference

Below each mode chooser is an additional control which differs between the two ﬁlters. In Filter

1, the To F2 slider allows you to adjust the amount of Filter 1’s output that will be sent to Filter 2.

The Slave switch below Filter 2’s mode chooser causes this ﬁlter’s cutoff frequency to follow the

cutoff of Filter 1. If this is enabled, Filter 2’s cutoff knob controls the amount of offset between the

two cutoff amounts. If any of Analog’s modulation sources are controlling Filter 1’s cutoff, Filter 2

will also be affected by them when Slave is enabled.

In addition to the envelope controls (page 381), the displays for the ﬁlters contain various

modulation parameters and the Drive chooser. Cutoff frequency and resonance can be inde-

pendently modulated by LFO, note pitch and ﬁlter envelope via the sliders in the Freq Mod and

Res Mod sections respectively. Positive modulation values will increase the cutoff or resonance

amounts, while negative values will lower them.

The Drive chooser in the display selects the type of saturation applied to the ﬁlter output. The

three Sym options apply symmetrical distortion, which means that the saturation behavior is the

same for positive and negative values. The Asym modes result in asymmetrical saturation. For

both mode types, higher numbers result in more distortion. Drive can be switched off entirely by

selecting Off in the chooser. Experiment with the various options to get a sense of how they af-

fect incoming signals.

24.1.5 Ampliﬁers

Display and Shell Parameters for the two Ampliﬁers.

After the ﬁlters, the signal is routed to an ampliﬁer which further shapes the sound with an ampli-

tude envelope and panning. All parameters can be set independently for each ampliﬁer.

The Amp 1 and Amp 2 switches in the shell toggle the respective ampliﬁer on and off, while the

output level is controlled by the Level knob. The Pan knob sets the position of the ampliﬁer’s out-

put in the stereo ﬁeld.
