semitones (one full octave).

7. Pre-filter mix parameters

Before the sound sources are sent to the filters, they are mixed
together. Use the pre-filter mix parameters to set the levels for
each of the oscillators, the ring modulation, noise, and external
sources. Also set the amounts of each of these sources to be sent
to filter 1 (f1) and filter 2 (f2)
Also set the noise type to white or pink. White noise has the same
amount of energy across all frequencies, sounding like hiss.
Since there are so many more frequencies higher (in the treble
range) than there are lower (in the bass range), white noise sounds
trebly. Pink noise, on the other hand, progressively reduces the
energy of the higher frequencies to provide an even sound across
the frequency spectrum. Where white noise sounds like hiss, pink
noise sounds like a roar or ocean wave.
White noise has a sharp sound which makes it especially good for
percussive effects, whereas the frequency characteristics of pink
noise are more soothing and pleasant to the human ear.
