ARTURIA – MOOG MODULAR V 2.6 – USER’S MANUAL 103
On the Moog Modular V, you have access to 7 different types of filtering. Let’s have a look at
their respective properties.
The low-pass filter (LPF) deletes the high frequencies from a frequency limit (the famous
cut-off frequency) and only allows mow frequencies to pass. Depending on the setting, we will
hear the sound becoming more or less “brilliant”, or more or less “thick”.
This is the type of filtering that you will commonly find on synthesizers using subtractive
synthesis. It is equally present on analog synthesizers as well as the most recent digital
models.
Low-pass filter
The high-pass filter (HPF), as opposed to the low-pass, eliminates low frequencies and only
allows high frequencies past. The sound will thus become “finer”. It is very useful for removing
redundant low frequencies.
High-pass filter
The band-pass filter (BPF) eliminates the frequencies situated on either side of the cut-off
frequency. Use it to make a certain band of frequencies that you wish to emphasize appear.
This will make the sound more “pinched”.
