Analog Synths
(This 1/3, 2/3, 1 granularity is authentic to the original instrument. If you like, of
course, you can also modulate any parameter using the "Key Tracking" modulators
in the Mod Palette.)
Noise
Noise
0-100. This controls the output level of the noise generator.
Color
White, Pink. This controls the frequency content of the noise generator. White has
more high frequency content than Pink.
Filter
Cutoff
0-100. This controls the cutoff frequency of the specifically modeled 24dB per
octave lowpass filter. Frequencies above the cutoff are cut, and frequencies below
the cutoff are passed through unchanged.
Generally speaking, the lower the cutoff, the darker the sound; the higher the
cutoff, the brighter the sound.
Note that the Envelope and Key Track parameters also affect the cutoff frequency.
This control has extra smoothing on the DSP, to ensure zipper-free modulation. If
instantaneous modulation is desired (such as modulation via velocity), modulate
the Envelope control instead.
Emphasis
0-100. Often called Resonance, this emphasizes the frequencies around the cutoff
frequency. At 0, there is no emphasis, and frequencies above the cutoff will simply
diminish smoothly. At very high settings, the resonance can be heard as a separate,
whistling pitch. At medium settings, the resonance will alter the timbre of the filter,
but will not usually be heard as a separate pitch.
Contour
0-100. This controls the amount of affect the envelope will have on the filter cutoff
frequency, adding to the setting on the Cutoff knob. At 0, the envelope will have no
affect. At +100, the envelope will open the filter all the way at its peak, even if
Cutoff is set to 0.
