ARTURIA – CS-80 V – USER MANUAL

The filter settings
The CS-80V offers 2 types of slope (where the CS-80 had only the 12 dB/Oct slope).
On the CS-80V, you have access to 3 different types of filtering. Let’s have a look at
some of their properties:
The low-pass filter (LPF) deletes high frequencies going from a frequency limit
(the famous cut-off frequency) and only allows low frequencies through.
Depending on the setting we will hear the sound becoming more or less
“brilliant”, more or less “dampened”. This is the type of filtering that you will
find more often than not on synthesizers that use subtractive synthesis. It can
be found on most of the recent analog and digital synthesizers
The low-pass filter
The high-pass filter (HPF), unlike the low-pass, eliminates low frequencies and
only allows high frequencies through. The sound will become “finer”. It is very
useful for removing redundant low frequencies with a bass sound for example.
