The Second Filters - Akai s2000 Owner's Manual

THE SECOND FILTERS

If the IB304F filter bank is installed in your S2000, the next group of pages gives access to the
second bank of filters and the third envelope generator Pressing PAGE DOWN or GROUP
DOWN from the ENV2 pages will display the following screen:
NOTE: If the IB304F is not installed, these pages will not appear.
The second filter offers four different types of filters: LOWPASS, BANDPASS and HIGHPASS
plus a special EQ filter selection.The lowpass filter we have already seen and offers this type of
response graph:
Here, high frequency components above the cutoff frequency are removed and only lower
frequency components will pass through the filter. When the resonance control is increased,
the area around the cutoff frequency is boosted to give synthesiser effects.
The band pass selection offer this type of response slope:
Here, frequencies below the cutoff and above are removed. You may simultaneously remove
depth and top end using this selection and the result is a buzzy, thinner type of sound. As the
resonance amount is increased, so the width of the response slope gets narrower so that
individual harmonics are emphasised.
