Link

Switching on the Link switch “links” the Frequency, Resonance and Gain controls of

the two filters together. Once the “Link” is turned on, moving any of the knobs on

either filter will move the corresponding knob on the other, in the same direction and

by the same amount.

Also note that depending on where a particular knob is set it is possible that

nothing

will change on one of the filters.

For instance, if a particular knob on Filter 1 is set about half way and the same knob

on Filter 2 filter is set to maximum, turning UP the knob on Filter 1, will have no

effect on Filter 2 as it has nowhere to go; it’s value is already as high as possible.

However, using the same example, if you were to turn DOWN the value of the same

knob on Filter 2, the corresponding knob on Filter 1 will move as it is not set to it’s

extreme and has “room to move”. This is just one example but hopefully you get the

basic idea.

Tweak Page

Like FilterFreak1, FilterFreak2 has a single modulation source, but can get more var-

ied and interesting effects by using different modulation amounts for the two filter

sections. You can even set the direction of the modulation for Filter 1 to move in one

direction while having the modulation for Filter 2 going in the opposite direction.

This can be used to create really interesting vocal-like “Wah” sounds.

The above Tweak page for FilterFreak2 is accessible from the Modulation Mode

popup, and is the place to go to dial in modulation depths for both filters.
