2-Pole LP/HP/BP/BR
(Resonance) Bass
[Full, Tight]
This is available only when Type is one of the 2-pole Resonant or 4-pole Resonant settings, or Multi Filter. Resonance
Bass controls the character of the filter resonance at low cutoff frequencies. Its effect is most noticeable with high
Resonance settings.
Tight produces a more restrained resonance, similar to a classic, American, wood-paneled monophonic synthesizer.
Full produces a wide, boomy resonance, reminiscent of a famous five-voice American synthesizer.
4-Pole LP/HP/BP/BR
Resonance Type
[Standard, High]
This is available only when the Type is set to one of the 4-pole settings.
Standard provides the resonance character of a typical analog 4-pole filter.
High creates a more pronounced resonance.
MS-20 LP/HP and Polysix
Gain
[Loud, Less Resonance; Unity, Less Resonance; Normal, 1-osc input; Normal, 2-osc input]
Gain is available only when Type is MS-20 LP, MS-20 HP, or Polysix. These filter types include saturation, which
interacts with resonance. With anything other than very low resonance settings, input volume can have a strong effect
on their character. The lower the input gain, the more headroom remains for the resonance to bloom. Use Gain to set
the basic input level, and then fine-tune with Trim if desired.
Normal, 2-osc input: This is the lowest input gain. It will produce the classic resonant sounds of these filters even with
extremely loud input signals.
Normal, 1-osc input: This will produce the classic resonant sounds of these filters with a single oscillator playing at full
volume. When input is louder than a single full-volume oscillator, the resonance effect will be less pronounced.
Unity, Less Resonance: Volume is unattenuated. This leaves less headroom, so resonance will be less prominent.
Loud, Less Resonance: This provides a slight volume boost on input. This makes it easy to reach saturation with the
input level alone, leaving very little headroom for resonance.
Multi Filter
What's a Multi Filter?
Standard multimode filters generate low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters simultaneously—but only let you use
one of them at a time. The Multi Filter gives you access to all three filter modes simultaneously, in any combination,
along with the dry input signal. You can choose from a large number of preset combinations, or create your own
complex filter modes using the Manual controls.
This is capable of some cool sounds in and of itself, but things really get interesting when you modulate Crossfade; see
below..
Crossfade
[0...100]
This is available only when Type is Multi Filter. Crossfade morphs between the Mode 1 and Mode 2 settings. 0 is
all Mode 1, 100 is all Mode 2, and 1-99 are intermediate values between the two Modes. Try modulating this with
envelopes, LFOs, or real-time controllers.
Preset (Multi Filter Preset)
[List of Presets]
This is available only when Type is Multi Filter. Presets let you quickly select from a number of useful combinations of
Modes 1 and 2. You can also select any combination you wish using the manual controls, described below.
