Minimoog Filter - Arturia TAE ORIGIN User Manual

dB/Oct by multiplying the number of poles with six. For example, a 1-pole filter has a 6 dB/Oct
slope and a 4-pole filter a 24 dB/Oct slope.
The Origin synthesizer offers a great variety of filters. Most of them are emulated versions of the
filter modules used in some of the best analog hardware synthesizers: the Minimoog, the ARP 2600,
the Jupiter-8 and the CS-80.
In addition there is a special low CPU cost Origin filter module. It offers very good sound
characteristics for a low CPU charge. You can use it in a very "big" preset including lots of audio
modules.
NOTE: You can use up to four filters in a Program.

9.1.1.2.1 Minimoog filter

This filter is an emulated version of the filter module found on the original Minimoog synthesizer.
The Minimoog was introduced in the 70's and was among the first portable and playable
synthesizers. Today, it is highly sought after because of it's unique and fat sound. Some of
minmoog's famous players include: Herbie Hancock, Kraftwerk, Chick Corea, Rick Wakeman, Keith
Emerson and Apollo 440.
The Minimoog filter offers a very particular sound thanks to its ladder structure. The resonance
response is also sounding more "smooth" than an ARP's one for example. Without any resonance...
the sound is one of the fattest ever!!!
- The [Frequency] knob sets the cut-off frequency of the filter.
- The [Emphasis] knob (also called "resonance" or "Q") sets the amplification amount of
frequencies close to the cut-off frequency. The other frequencies are either unchanged
(below the cut-off frequency) or reduced (above the cut-off frequency).When you
increase the emphasis, the cutoff frequency is more and more amplified. At very high
emphasis values, the filter starts to self oscillate, giving a sort of "whistle" sound.

- [Audio]: This is the audio input of the filter. You can connect it to the output of an
oscillator or a mixer if you use several oscillators (or other audio modules).
- [FM]: This input allows you to connect sources to modulate the cut-off frequency of the
filter. The envelope or LFO are the most common modules to modulate the cutoff
frequency. The result is interesting for filter sweeps or "wah-wah" like sonorities.
- The Amount knob allows you to set the depth of the selected modulation.
- The Bipolar or Unipolar selector allows you to set the polarity of the selected modulation.
