Basic Operation
Powering On / Off
The 2-pole Filter is equipped with a Power switch 2.
Push it to switch on the unit. After that, the 2-pole Filter is
ready for some action. Push the Power switch again to
switch off the 2-pole Filter.
Where are the Presets?
The 2-pole Filter is a pure analog device. Because of the
very clear controls, we can assure you that you will be
able to set an universe of settings within a short time.
Editing
In spite of the 2-pole Filter’s compactness, it uses a sophi-
sticated user interface allowing fast editing of any parame-
ter.
Turning a dial clockwise increases the corresponding
value; turning it counterclockwise decreases it. Unbe-
lievable! Keep in mind that some switches offers more
than two states.
Envelope Input
This input drive the envelope follower unit. It is suitable
for a regular synthesizer control voltage (supported volta-
ge range: 0 V – 5 V), a foot-pedal (best impedance range:
10 k – 47 k) or a line level audio signal (audio interface,
drum computer output etc.). The incoming signal is added
to the envelope follower input. If you want the envelope
following the input signal only, the trigger unit has to be
disabled. Read more about triggering in the chapter "Enve-
lope Section".
Cutoff CV Input
The Cutoff frequency can be modulated by an external
control voltage, e.g. from a Waldorf Pulse 2 or a modular
synthesizer. You can also use an expression pedal or an
audio signal (e.g. a rhythmic signal).
Gate Input
The Gate input can be used to trigger the envelope by an
external signal, e.g. from a modular synthesizer.
