Filter Type

LP / BP / HP

Selects the filter type. You can decide
between filter types with a 24dB or a
12dB slope. Filter types can also deacti-
vated by tapping again on it.

LP (Lowpass) removes frequencies
above the cutoff point.

BP (Bandpass) removes frequencies both below
and above the cutoff point. As a result, the sound
character gets thinner. Use these filter types when
programming effect and percussion-like sounds.

HP (Highpass) removes frequencies below the
cutoff point and is useful to thin out a sound’s bass
frequencies. This may also give interesting results in
conjunction with cutoff frequency modulation. By
doing this you can e.g. "fly-in" a sound starting at its
high harmonics and then coming up to its full fre-
quency range.

Cutoff

12.25...19912 Hz

Controls the cutoff frequency for the low pass and high
pass filter types and the center frequency
for the band pass

When a low pass type is selected
via the Type parameter, all fre-
quencies above the cutoff fre-
quency are damped.

When a high pass type is selected, all frequencies
below the cutoff frequency are damped.

When a band pass type is selected, only frequen-
cies near the cutoff setting will be passed through.

You can bring more movement into the sound by modu-
lating the cutoff frequency via the LFOs, the filter enve-
lope or the Keytrack parameter of the filter. Medium

values and a maximum Resonance setting, the

filter self oscillates with a sine wave.

Resonance

0.00...1.00

Controls the emphasis of the frequencies
around the cutoff point. Use lower values
to give more brilliance to the sound. At
higher values the sound gets the typical
