XONE:VCF SECTIONS, FILTER 1 - FILTER 2
MIDI Control
•
All Filter Type Select and FILTER ON/OFF switches send MIDI NOTE ON/OFF messages to the rear panel
MIDI OUT port, and to USB 1 and USB 2 ports when the corresponding MIDI 1/ 2 switch is active.
•
All Filter Type Select and FILTER ON/OFF switches can also be remotely controlled by MIDI output via USB
1 and USB 2. See p.28 for details
NOTE
: XONE:VCF switches are also used for selecting the XONE:96 MIDI channel option. See p.28.

FILTER ON
/
OFF Switch
Each VCF has its own ON switch.
The switch illuminates BLUE when the FILTER is ON.
The signal is not affected by the FILTER if set OFF.
FILTER 1 and FILTER 2 ON/OFF switches are also enabled for
MIDI control. See below

HPF/BPF/LPF, Filter Type Select Switches
Set the output for FILTER 1 or FILTER 2. HPF selects the High
Pass Filter (bass cut) slope. BPF selects the Band Pass Filter
(bell shaped) response. LPF selects the Low Pass Filter
(treble cut) slope. See XONE:VCF REFERENCE for details.

FREQ Frequency Sweep Control
This control sets the -3dB cut-off frequency of the VCF. It
ranges from very low frequency (20Hz) when anti-clockwise,
to very high frequency (20kHz) when turned fully clockwise.
4
CRUNCH Control
Turn clockwise to add harmonic distortion (CRUNCH!) into
the pre-FILTER signal path. Set to 0 the audio is clean and
the LED is unlit. Set to 10 the signal distorts dramatically and
LED illuminates RED. Use FILTER controls and switches to
tune the post-FILTER output. For optimum CRUNCH system
drive, maintain VCF assigned channel levels b/-6dB

Nothing comes close to the sound and power of the XONE:VCF.
XONE:96 refines this classic design, preserving the unmista
k
able
sonic signature while taking its performance to the next level.
Alongside the classic HPF, BPF, LPF, RES (MILD/WILD) and FREQ
(sweep) control layout, we’ve added CRUNCH; controlled harmonic
distortion that sits pre-FILTER in the circuit to give a powerful new
effect. XONE:96 lets you route all six main channels to FILTER 1 or 2.
RES Resonance Control
Produces the classic XONE:VCF filter sound by feeding some
of the filter output back to its input. The control ranges from
MILD, with very subtle effect, to WILD, producing dramatic
phase effects with feedback just short of self-oscillation.
