3:4 Filter section: shared controls
Cypher’s dual-filter section features a number of controls for each filter, while others are shared between them.
The following controls are shared between both filters:
Cutoff
The Cutoff control adjusts the cutoff frequency of both filters relative to each filter’s Scale control setting.
You can consider this control as the ‘master’ cutoff frequency that adjusts the cutoff of both filters simultaneously.
Env1 & Env
Mod Envelopes 1 and 2 are directly routed to modulate the Cutoff (the cutoff frequencies of both filters simultaneously).
The Env1 and Env controls adjust the depth of modulation from ModEnv 1 and ModEnv 2 respectively.
Route
The routing of the filters can be changed between 2 serial and 2 parallel configurations using the Route parameter.
1 > 2 Serial, filter 1 before filter 2
2 > 1 Serial, filter 2 before filter 1
1 + 2 Parallel, filter 1 + filter 2
1 - 2 Parallel, inverted filter 1 + filter 2
Spread
The Spread control sets the amount of stereo spread between the filters when using parallel routings.

3:5 Filter section: individual controls for filters 1 & 2
In addition to the shared controls that affect the filters in both of Cypher’s filter paths, each filter features the following
individual controls:
Power
The Power button enables or disables the filter. When disabled, incoming audio passes through the filter stage unaffected.
Type
Select from two classic filter designs for either of the two filter paths using the Type parameter: state-variable (Svf) and
transistor-ladder (Mgf) types are available.
These are both distinct circuit models with very different sonic characteristics.
Mode
The Mode control allows you to select from the following filter modes:
• Low-Pass 2-pole or 4-pole
• High-Pass 2-pole or 4-pole
• Band-Pass 2-pole or 4-pole
• Peak 4-pole
• Notch 4-pole
Drive
The Drive control increases the gain of the signal entering the filter. This leads to the filter circuit being overloaded,
drastically altering its tone and character.
