Frequency - Clavia Nord Lead 2X User Manual

8. Panel Reference: Filter
If you for example select a low pass filter and turn the Frequency knob clock-wise, more and more high-
frequency material will be allowed to pass through the filter.
Please note that if the Envelope Amount setting is raised from its full left position, turning the Frequency
knob might not change the sound as expected. For more information, see below.

This control is used to emphasize the amplitude of the frequencies at, and close to, the cutoff frequency.
If you are using a low pass filter, increasing resonance will emphasize frequencies around the set Filter
Frequency and de-emphasize the rest of the frequency spectrum, making the sound thinner. Further rais-

to the sound. Exactly where in the frequency spectrum this "ringing" appears, depends on the Filter Fre-
quency setting.
If you have the high-pass or LP+Notch filter selected, increasing Resonance will work pretty much as with
the LP filter.
When you use the band-pass filter, adjusting the Resonance also adjusts the width of the pass-band.
When you raise the Resonance, the band where frequencies are let through, will become narrower.

The more you "open" a low-
pass filter, the more high-fre-
quent the output signal
