Slope 12dB, 24dB
This determines the filter slope and can be set to 12 dB or 24 dB per octave:
Click on an “LED” or its name to select the desired value :

12dB : The filter works with a Slope setting of 12dB per octave. This means that a
Low Pass filter dampens signal parts one octave above the Cutoff frequency by 12
dB, signal parts two octaves above the Cutoff frequency by 24 dB, and so on.
 24dB : The filter works with a Slope setting of 24 dB per octave. Signal parts two
octaves above the Cutoff frequency are thus dampened by 48 dB.
The Amplifier block (Amp)
You can use the Amplifier block of D-Pole
to distort the filter output signal with an
overdrive effect, lower the output volume,
position the signal in the stereo panorama,
and determine the mix of original and
delayed signal. By using the Routing function (“Active” or “Bypass”, to the right in the
picture) you can also select whether the blocks Filter, Delay and Modulations are used
or bypassed.
Overdrive 0dB...52dB
Overdrive controls the degree of distortion applied to the filter output signal.

Turn Overdrive to the left to reduce distortion. At 0 dB the filter output signal is not
distorted.
 Turn Overdrive to the right to get a stronger distortion effect.
When you make an Overdrive setting the function will first amplify the filter output si-
gnal to 0 dB, before it enters saturation. This alone can significantly increase signal vo-
lume. You should therefore lower Volume before you make an Overdrive setting, as
this will prevent possible damage resulting from excessive volume.
Volume -∞ dB...0 dB
Volume controls D-Pole’s output volume.

Turn Volume to the left to lower output volume. If the dial is in the extreme left posi-
tion, the signal is muted completely.
 Turn Volume to the right to increase output volume.If the dial is in the extreme right
position, signal volume is not dampened at all.
w
Please note that the Volume control only adjusts the output volume. If the filter
sounds distorted although Overdrive is turned off, try lowering the filter input vo-
lume by adjusting the gain control in the host application’s channel window.
Panning 100:0...Center...0:100
Panning controls the stereo position i.e. the balance of the output signal.
