Rhythm TVF

Filter Type

Selects the type of filter. A filter cuts or boosts a specific

frequency region to change a sound’s brightness, thickness,

or other qualities.

Value

OFF:

No filter is used.

LPF:

Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume of all
frequencies above the cutoff frequency (Cutoff
Freq) in order to round off, or un-brighten the
sound. This is the most common filter used in
synthesizers.

BPF:

Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the frequencies
in the region of the cutoff frequency (Cutoff
Frequency), and cuts the rest. This can be useful
when creating distinctive sounds.

HPF:

High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in the
region below the cutoff frequency (Cutoff
Frequency). This is suitable for creating
percussive sounds emphasizing their higher
tones.

PKG:

Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies in
the region of the cutoff frequency (Cutoff
Frequency). You can use this to create wah-wah
effects by employing an LFO to change the cutoff
frequency cyclically.

LPF2:

Low Pass Filter 2. Although frequency
components above the Cutoff frequency (Cutoff
Frequency) are cut, the sensitivity of this filter is
half that of the LPF. This makes it a comparatively
warmer low pass filter. This filter is good for use
with simulated instrument sounds such as the
acoustic piano.

LPF3:

Low Pass Filter 3. Although frequency
components above the Cutoff frequency (Cutoff
Frequency) are cut, the sensitivity of this filter
changes according to the Cutoff frequency. While
this filter is also good for use with simulated
acoustic instrument sounds, the nuance it
exhibits differs from that of the LPF2, even with
the same TVF Envelope settings.

If you set “LPF2” or “LPF3,” the setting for the Resonance

parameter will be ignored.

Cutoff Frequency

Selects the frequency at which the filter begins to have an

effect on the waveform’s frequency components.

Value:

0–127

With “LPF/LPF2/LPF3” selected for the Filter Type parameter,

lower cutoff frequency settings reduce a tone’s upper

harmonics for a more rounded, warmer sound. Higher

settings make it sound brighter.

If “BPF” is selected, harmonic components will change

depending on the TVF Cutoff Frequency setting. This can be

useful when creating distinctive sounds.

With “HPF” selected, higher Cutoff Frequency settings will

reduce lower harmonics to emphasize just the brighter

components of the sound.

With “PKG” selected, the harmonics to be emphasized will

vary depending on Cutoff Frequency setting.

Resonance

Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the

cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively

high settings can produce oscillation, causing the sound to

distort.

Value:

0–127
