Digital Filters Parameters

From the synth parts main page, touch FLT to enter the digital filters. OR: Push and release the
Func/Mute button, so that it lights up, and push step button 7/Filter 1 time.

Touch the FL1 touch button, to enter the Filter 1 page.

Cut:

0 to 511. Sets the cutoff frequency of the filter.

Reso:

0 to 511. Sets the amount of resonance applied to the filter.

Inp:

0 to 511. Sets the audio signal input level to the filter. Different characteristics can be

obtained by adjusting this.

Mix:

-256 to +255. Sets the mix between the audio input signal and the filter output signal. At +0

the input signal is passed through. At positive values, the the filter output is added to the input
signal. At negative values, an inverted version of the filter output is added to the input signal. At
+255 and -256 only the output of the filter is heard.

Type:

Sets the filter type. See the list of filter types.
