ARTURIA – MOOG MODULAR V – USER’S MANUAL 107
The 24 dB/Oct. offers a more efficient filtering than the 12dB/Oct.
On the Moog Modular V, you have access to 7 different types of filtering. Lets have a look at their
respective properties:
• The low-pass (low-pass filter or LPF) deletes the high frequencies from a frequency
limit (the famous cut-off frequency) and only allows mow frequencies to pass. De-
pending on the setting, we will hear the sound becoming more or less “brilliant”, or
more or less “thick”.
This is the type of filtering that you will commonly find on synthesizers using subtractive synthesis.
It is equally present on analog synthesizers as well as the most recent digital models.
• The high-pass (high-pass filter or HPF), as opposed to the low-pass, eliminates low
frequencies and only allows high frequencies past. The sound will thus become
“finer”. It is very useful for removing redundant low frequencies.
• The band-pass (band-pass filter or BPF) eliminates the frequencies situated on ei-
ther side of the cut-off frequency. Use it to make a certain band of frequencies that
you wish to emphasize appear. This will make the sound more “pinched”.
