To edit a sound's high pass filter cutoff, go to the toolbar and make sure that High Pass Cutoff is

selected. By default, all points on this envelope are at 0%, meaning that all sounds above the cutoff

(i.e. everything) can be heard. Adding points above 0% will cause low frequencies to be increasingly

removed from the audio.

To edit a sound's high pass filter resonance, go to the toolbar and make sure that High Pass

Resonance is selected. By default, all points on this envelope are at 0%, meaning that there is no

resonance/emphasis at the cutoff point. Adding points higher than 0% will cause emphasis at the

cutoff frequency, if any frequencies exist at and around that frequency.

What Famous Examples Of Music Have This Effect?

Many songs in many genres take advantage of resonant filter sounds. The opening note to the Rush

song Tom Sawyer contains a famous resonant low pass filter sweet of a synthesizer sound. Many

dance songs begin with a low pass filter whose cutoff frequency is slowly rising, so the song starts off

muted and suddenly is full and bright.
