For everything else we recommend using NEW mode which is the Future Impact's far
superior filter implementation.
● VCF FILTER SLOPE PUSHBUTTON (12 dB / 24 dB): Toggles the filter mode
between 12 dB/octave and 24 dB/octave. This adjusts how drastically the
frequencies around the filter's cutoff point are attenuated. 24 dB is the more drastic.
● VCF FRQ (0...80 (VINTAGE), 36...122 (NEW)):
Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the filter. Depending on the filter type selected (see
VCF TYPE below), the frequencies above, below or at this point will be attenuated.
In VINTAGE mode the scaling is roughly 10 units per octave.
In NEW mode, the scaling is in semitones and the slider's value actually displays
MIDI note numbers. The filter's cutoff frequency is therefore that of whichever MIDI
note is currently shown. (MIDI note 36 is 65.41 Hz; MIDI note 122 is 9397.27 Hz. See
the VCF Frequency Lookup Table
The cutoff of the filter can be further controlled using either MIDI CC11 or CC74. (See
the MIDI Implementation
or ±4 octaves from the cutoff value set by the VCF FRQ slider in the program. The
range is set by VCF CONTROL RANGE in the
● BPF FRQ (OFF, 1...24): Sets the cutoff frequency of the parallel second
(bandpass-only) filter; measured as an offset in semitones from the cutoff frequency
of the first filter. OFF bypasses the second filter.
Both filters share the RESO and SLOPE parameters. Any control signal modulating
the first filter's cutoff frequency will cause the second filter's frequency to move in
step with it. However, if a
VCF FRQ, then the two filters might not always move exactly in step any more.
Offsetting the cutoff frequencies of the two filters generates dual resonant peaks and
provides an excellent way to create sounds with vowel-like formants resembling the
human voice.
● RESO (7...127):
Adjusts the resonance peak (or "Q") of the filter on a scale of Q=0.7...12.7. Higher
values boost the frequencies at the filter's cutoff point creating a characteristic peak.
● VCF TYPE (LPF, HPF, BPF, NTC, OFF):
Selects between Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Notch filter types. Setting the
slider to OFF will only bypass this filter; the second (Bandpass-only) filter will remain
active unless the BPF FRQ slider is also set to OFF.
