Filter Module; General Functioning - Native Instruments Absynth 5 Reference Manual

% When you have created a Sound in which some Oscillators work in the Audio In mode,
you should assign this Sound to the category "Effect" in the Attribute Window, so that it
appears in the relevant search results within the Browser Window.
You can access all of the Audio In parameters through the Main panel:
•
Mono/Stereo switch: You can choose between mono and stereo signals. If you choose
mono, you will only see one Input menu below. If you choose stereo, then a second,
identical Input menu appears.
•
Level control: Increases or attenuates the input signal level. At the default value of 0 dB,
the signal passes through the input stage unchanged.
•
Input menu: Chooses from one of six possible audio inputs, which you can configure in
the Audio and MIDI Settings dialog of the stand-alone version (in the File menu of the
Application Menu Bar).
! External audio signals run through ABSYNTH 5's signal path in exactly the same way as
internally created signals and so are also influenced by ABSYNTH 5's Envelopes. This
means that you do not hear audio signals from external sources unless ABSYNTH 5 has received
MIDI notes and used them to trigger the Envelopes!

5.5 Filter Module

The Filter module provides a number of filters to work with. You can work on the frequency
spectrum of a sound by, for example, emphasize the high frequencies while reducing the
lower frequencies.

5.5.1 General Functioning

The Filter modules can be inserted in any Module Slot of the Patch Window, except the first
Slot in each Channel A-C (these are reserved for Oscillator modules) and the last Slot in the
Master Channel (reserved for the Effect module).
