Filter Smoother; Lowpass - Native Instruments Razor Manual

5.10.1

Filter Smoother

On the left hand side of the filter the 3 controls of the 'Filter Smoother' are located. It's
active for all filter types. It smoothes fast amplitude changes caused by the filter for each
partial. With extreme settings the smoothing results in reverb like effects.
Fig. 5.24 Filter Smoother.
ATT: Attack time of the smoother. Defines the amount of smoothness if the partial am­
▪
plitude is rising.
DEC: Decay time of the smoother. Defines the amount of smoothness if the partial am­
▪
plitude is falling.
DAMP: High frequency damping. It reduces the decay time of the smoother for higher
▪
frequency partials.
