4.3. Filter Section
This section contains the filter controls, which are responsible for sculpting the frequency
spectrum and timbre of the sound. SQ80 V is equipped with a faithful recreation of the
original CEM3379 based 24db resonant low-pass filter used in the original hardware.
There is a graphic representation of the filter profile here. If you click and hold on the
graphic and drag up and down you can adjust the resonance and if you hold and drag left
or right it adjusts the cut-off frequency.
•
Frequency
controls the cut-off frequency of the filter over a range of 35 to 74860
Hz. Frequencies above this setting will be rolled off.
♪
: In the Synthesis Panel, try assigning Velocity to Cutoff Frequency with positive
modulation. Now the harder you press a key, the more the filter will open up, resulting in a
brighter sound. You can achieve the same result using the VEL knob under the resonance
knob.
•
Resonance
controls the resonance around the cut-off frequency. Turning up
Resonance not only boost frequencies at the cut-off band, but will also attenuate
frequencies outside the cut-off band resulting in a quieter sound with more
emphasis around the cut-off frequency.
•
Mod Amount 1
sets the amount of modulation that will be applied to the Filter
Frequency from whichever modulation source its routed from.
•
Mod Amount 2
sets the amount of modulation that will be applied to the Filter
Frequency from whichever modulation source its routed from.
4.4. Mod Wheel and Pitch Bend
This sections contains performance controls and settings for the Pitch Bend and Modulation
wheels. You can adjust these controls on-screen but they are best controlled by the pitch
bend and modulation wheels on your keyboards.
•
Pitchbend Wheel
lets you bend the pitch up or down.
•
Pitchbend Amount
If you click and hold on the box immediately above the
bender and mouse up and down you can adjust the amount of bend from 0 to
12 semitones.
•
Bend Mode
If you click on the box immediately above the Mod Wheel you can
toggle between the 2 bend modes. Selecting ALL means the Pitchbend Wheel will
affect all currently played voices whereas HELD only affects the notes currently
being held down.
•
Mod Wheel
controls the amount of modulation.
