Filter type.
Values:
 LP 12 dB: low-pass filter with a slope of 12 dB/oct
which progressively attenuates the frequencies
above the cutoff one, thus giving a darker and/or
softer tone to the sound.
 LP 24 dB: like LP 12 dB but with a slope of 24
dB/oct which attenuates in a more incisive way the
frequencies above than the cutoff one.
 BP 6 dB: band-pass filter with 6 dB/oct slope that
progressively attenuates out-of-band frequencies,
whose center corresponds to the cutoff frequency.
 BP 12 dB: like BP 6 dB but with a slope of 12 dB/oct
which attenuates the frequencies around the cutoff
to a greater extent.
 HP 12 dB: high-pass filter with 12 dB/oct slope that
progressively attenuates the frequencies below the
cutoff one, the resulting sound will be sharper and
brighter.
 HP 24 dB: like HP 12 dB but with a slope of 24
dB/oct which attenuates in a more incisive way the
frequencies below the cutoff one.
 Notch 6 dB: Notch filter with 6 dB/oct slope that
attenuates frequencies around the cutoff point.
Frequencies below or above the cutoff point are
passed through.
 Notch 12 dB: like Notch 6 dB but with a slope of 12
dB/oct which attenuates in a less incisive way the
frequencies around the cutoff.
Amount of signal distortion. Synth-8 allows you to apply the distortion effect
to the output signal of the filter in order to obtain even more ringing and
metallic sounds.
Values: between 0 and 127
Keyboard tracking amount. According to the
laws of acoustics, if the pitch of a waveform is
raised, the harmonics naturally rise in frequency.
If the cutoff frequency of the filter is constant, the
sound will be perceived more "dull" on the higher
notes of the keyboard. To avoid this effect, the
Filter Keytrack is used. In the case of a low-pass
filter, values close to 0 ensure that the cutoff
frequency remains fixed for the entire extension of the keyboard, obtaining
the effect described above. By adjusting the parameter with positive values,
the cutoff frequency rises in the higher notes, which are therefore brighter
while the lower notes will be darker. On the contrary, by setting the
parameter with negative values, the cutoff frequency decreases with the
higher notes that will have even less harmonics than the parameter set at 0,
while the lower notes will be richer in harmonics.
Values: between -64 and +63.
Modulation amount of the filter cutoff frequency, controlled by keyboard
velocity. At high parameter values the filter cutoff frequency is raised as you
play harder.
Values: between 0 and 127
