Z-PLANE FILTER DESCRIPTIONS
The Z-Plane filters are categorized into groups of: Flangers, Vowel Filters,
Traditional Filters, Parametric Filters, Instrument Models, etc. A suffix of ‘4’ or
‘.4’ indicates filter is square, not cube and does not contain a Transform 2 axis.
FLANGERS
Members of this filter family contain a series of notches with various depths,
widths and frequencies. The traditional flange effect is created by sweeping
different frequency notches with a real time controller. Another application for
flangers is enhanced dynamic expression at note-on by using velocity to modu-
late the frequencies of the notches and overall cut-off. These filters can simulate
different pick positions on guitar strings and various locations of drum, mallet
and cymbal strikes, etc.
F000
Null Filter
F001
Low Pass Flange .4
Morph:
Starts with high end roll-off and deep, narrow notches at
500Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, 400Hz and 800Hz and transforms into less
deep, wider notches at 11799Hz, 13813Hz, 16169Hz, 17495Hz and
18928Hz with no roll-off.
Freq. Tracking:
Moves the notches in the first frame of the Morph axis
up two octaves. The second frame is completely flat. Tracks filter to
keyboard frequencies with Note-on key assignment. Frequency Track-
ing controls brightness.
Transform 2:
Not used.
F002
Low Pass Flange Bk .4
A series of deep notches spaced at octave intervals morphing to less severe,
more closely clustered high frequency notches. An additional lowpass filter
is at the start of the Morph, opening as the maximum offset is reached.
Morph:
Modulate this to create multi-flanging effects.
Freq. Tracking:
Tracks flangers across the keyboard. Velocity controls
brightness.
Transform 2:
Not used.
F003
Flange 2 .4
This flanger has a series of 6 notches placed at octaves, not linearly. Frame
1 starts with notches at 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600Hz.
Morph:
Moves all of the notches up in frequency to above 10kHz, with
decreasing depth. This means that the deepest flanging effect is
obtained in the first 1/3 to 1/2 of the Morph parameter range. Note
that deep notches can cut out the fundamental of a sound which
might decrease the volume of the note.
Freq. Tracking:
Moves the notches to 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400,
12800Hz, which allows key tracking to keep the “sweet spot” of the
flanger centered over the harmonics of the note.
Transform 2:
Not used.
