Filter Type — This chooser selects one of 14 filter types, including a variety of lowpass, high-
pass, bandpass and notch filters. The filter names imply the part of the spectrum they affect.
A notch filter passes everything apart from its center frequency and is more audible with low
resonance settings. The 24 dB filter modes attenuate the filtered frequencies to a much greater
degree than the 12 dB modes. The Ladder and SVF filters provide additional filter architectures.
Filter Frequency (Freq) — This defines the center or cutoff frequency of the filter. Note that the
resulting frequency may also be modulated by note velocity and by the filter envelope.
Filter Resonance (Res) — This defines the resonance around the filter frequency of the lowpass
and highpass filters, and the width of the bandpass and notch filters.
Envelope / Filter Switches — These switches toggle the display between the filter’s envelope and
its frequency response.
Filter Frequency<Velocity (Freq<Vel) — Filter frequency is modulated by note velocity according
to this setting.
Filter Frequency<Key (Freq<Key) — Filter frequency is modulated by note pitch according to this
setting. A value of 100% means that the frequency doubles per octave. The center point for this
function is C3.
Filter Envelope Rates<Velocity (Time<Vel) — This parameter exists for filter, pitch, LFO and vol-
ume envelopes. It is therefore listed in the section on envelopes.
Filter Frequency<Envelope (Envelope) — Filter frequency is modulated by the filter envelope
according to this setting. A value of 100% means that the envelope can create a maximum fre-
quency shift of approximately 9 octaves.
Shaper — This chooser selects the curve for the filter’s waveshaper.
Drive — This boosts or attenuates the signal level being sent to the waveshaper.
Dry/Wet — This adjusts the balance between the dry signal and the signal processed by the
waveshaper.
LFO Shell and Display
LFO On — This turns the LFO (low-frequency oscillator) on and off. Turning it off when it is un-
used saves some CPU power.
