CREATING SOUNDS
-CUTOFF
This determines the cutoff frequency of the low-pass
filter. The higher the cutoff frequency, the less effect the
filters have on the basic waveforms (since more fre-
quencies are passed).
At the highest value, 63, all harmonics are passed. The
lower the value, the more harmonics are cutoff, so the
sound becomes progressively rounder or less bright.
-RESONANCE
This emphasizes the harmonics near the cutoff frequen-
cy, producing a characteristic peaky or bandpass type
of sound.
The higher the value, the higher the resonance peak
and the more obvious the effect. At or near the max-
imum value
31,
the VCFs go into self-oscillation, pro-
ducing a pure sine wave, which can
be
used as an addi-
tional sound source for special effects. The pitch of the
VCF tone
is
affected by the Cut Off, Keyboard Track,
EG
INT, and
MG
VCF parameters.
