ESI-32 Operation Manual
You could activate the Filter Setup function directly by keying in 3.
However, let' s investigate another way to select the filter function. Move
the data entry control to catalog the various Dynamic Processing func-
tions. When the display shows function 3. VCF , press ENTER.
To Change the Filter Cutoff Frequency:
1. Activate the Dynamic Processing module, 3. VCF . The display
should look something like this:
Cutoff:
Q:
Play with the up and down cursor buttons. Note how you can move the
cursor under the various parameters to be adjusted. For now, move the
cursor under the Cutoff frequency on line three.
2. Select the filter cutoff frequency. To do this, vary the data entry
control. Note how the numbers to the right of cutoff change. Lower
numbers mean a lower filter cutoff frequency (less high frequencies).
Higher numbers mean a higher filter cutoff frequency (more high
frequencies). Observe how only the notes within the current zone
are affected by the data entry control setting.
Now might be a good time to mention that although we are changing
the sounds in the bank, the sounds on the disk remain unchanged. This
is because we haven't saved the bank to disk. You can fool around with
the bank sounds as much as you want without having to worry about
altering the original sounds on the disk.
To Change Filter Q:
Cutoff:
Q:
1. Move the cursor to the Q% on line four. Vary the Q using the
data entry control and note the sharpness of the sound chang-
ing. Higher numbers give a sharper sound. Again, this affects only
the range of notes covered by the current zone. Set the Q at about
60 and proceed.
2. Move the cursor back to Cutoff on line three. Vary the data
entry control. Note how this produces a sort of wa-wa effect.
Remember, you have to re-trigger the key to hear the results of
changing the Q.
