Filter Frequency
Filter Frequency
the Multi filter applies three resonant peaks with control-
lable center frequencies.
the freq knob is used for controlling the center fre-
•
quency of the peaks.
the reS knob is used for controlling the resonance . a
•
setting of zero will produce no feedback which means
the Multi filter will have no effect to the sound.
the SloPe button is used for setting the character of
•
the filter.
•
The Multi filter is best perceived with keyboard track-
ing (kB trAck) turned off.

Vocal

Filter Vocal
Filter Frequency
the Vocal filter uses two resonant peaks to give the sound
an adjustable vowel character.
the freq knob is used for controlling the Filter Fre-
•
quency.
the reS knob is used for controlling the distance be-
•
tween the filter peaks.

The Vocal filter is best perceived with keyboard track-
ing (kB trAck) turned off.
Filter Frequency (freq knob)
the Filter Frequency is used for setting the cutoff frequen-
cy point - where in the frequency range the filter begins to
process frequencies.
range: 14 hz - 21 khz

Filter Resonance (reS knob)
Filter resonance is used to emphasize frequencies around
the Filter Frequency, making the sound thinner. Further
raising the Filter resonance will make the sound resonant
to a point where the filter adds a ringing quality to the
sound. Exactly where in the frequency spectrum this "ring-
ing" occurs, depends on the setting of the Filter Frequency.

Keyboard Tracking (kB trAck button)
Keyboard tracking is used for adjusting the Filter Fre-
quency cut-off point depending on where in the keyboard
Filter Frequency
range you play.
Filter Resonance
this is related to basic acoustics; if you raise the pitch of a
waveform, the harmonics will also increase in frequency. If
the cutoff frequency is constant, the sound will be per-
ceived as getting "muddier" the higher up the keyboard
you play.
•
This function is adjusted in a frequency/octave
relationship. A setting of 1 means that the cutoff
frequency is moved one octave for every octave you
play from the C2 key.
With kB trAck disabled, the Filter Frequency cutoff is
•
constant regardless of where on the keyboard you play.
With kB trAck enabled, the Filter Frequency cutoff will
•
be higher for higher notes, and lower for lower notes.
the point of reference is the key of C2.
With kB trAck at the maximum setting of 1, the cutoff
•
frequency will track the keyboard in a 1:1 relationship.
