The Filter/Global Tab.
The Filter
Sampler features a polyphonic filter with an optional integrated waveshaper. The Morph (M12
and M24) and SVF filter types can morph continuously from lowpass to bandpass to highpass to
notch and back to lowpass. Naturally, filter morphs can be automated.
Classic 24 dB lowpass, bandpass and highpass modes are also available, but these cannot be
morphed.
To the right, the filter’s cutoff frequency can be modulated over time by a dedicated filter en-
velope. This envelope works similarly to the envelopes in the Pitch/Osc tab, with Initial, Peak,
Sustain and End levels, ADSR, Loop mode and slope points. This area is toggled on/off with the
F. Env button. The Amount slider determines how much influence the filter envelope has on the
filter’s cutoff frequency, and needs to be set to a non-zero value for the envelope to have any
effect.
Below the Filter is a waveshaper, which is toggled by clicking the Shaper button. Four differ-
ent curves can be chosen for the waveshaper in the Type selector: Soft, Hard, Sine and 4bit.
Shaper’s overall intensity can be controlled with the Amount slider. In addition, the signal flow
direction can be adjusted with the button above the waveshaper area: with the triangle pointing
up, the signal passes from the shaper to the filter; with the triangle pointing down, it passes from
the filter to the shaper.
