FILTER 1+2

Downstream of the filter is a distortion unit that has six different distortion modes.
Caution: At high resonance values, the level of the output can
increase drastically. To be safe, turn down the output before work-
ing with high resonance values.
Filter types
■ LP24 filters out frequencies above the cutoff frequency. It is particularly well suited to
bass and "punchy" sounds.
■ LP12 has less edge steepness than LP24. Frequencies above the cutoff frequency
are thus cut off more softly, which is useful for creating wide pads or bass, for exam-
ple.
■ BP12 and BP24 filter above and below the set cutoff frequency and thus are particu-
larly well suited to synthetic sounds. Try a sound with Noise only and play around with
the filter resonance!
■ HP12 and HP24 filter frequencies below the set cutoff frequency and thus have the
opposite behavior to LP filters. HP filters are well suited to creating both lead sounds
and pads. Modulated with LFO and a little resonance, they have just the right "bite".
■ Notch12 and Notch24 filter the narrow range around the cutoff frequencies and thus
have the opposite behavior to BP filters. They are suitable for less prominent sounds.
■ Comb+ and Comb- are resonance-capable comb filters that can also be used as a
polyphonic chorus or flanger. A comb filter is actually a very short delay, the length
and feedback of which can be changed. The delay times are very short and cannot be
perceived directly, but have a perceptible effect on the original signal. Because the
individual delays overlap, they have effects of canceling each other out or reinforcing
each other. As an illustration, this results in a behavior similar to multiple BP filters
(Comb+) or notch filters (Comb-) next to each other. Cutoff adjusts the delay time of
the comb filter; Resonance adjusts the delay feedback. Comb filters are used to gen-
erate more unnatural sounds and effects.
