MIXER
The MIXER section provides three volume controls to control the
input volume of three signals. These signals are mixed together before
entering the FILTER section.The three volume controls are: COMPLEX, SUB
and BASIC. We will detail them one by one
COMPLEX
This mixer control sets the volume of the complex generator at the input of the
FILTER section.
SUB
The IMPLEXUS has an internal sub-oscillator that produces a square
wave signal exactly one octave below the complex generator. The SUB
mixer control sets the volume of the sub-oscillator at the input of the
FILTER section. The sub-oscillator can be used to add some extra low-end to
the sound. This might be needed when you have an heavily folded waveform
from the Complex Generator.
BASIC
This mixer control sets the volume of the basic generator at the input of the
FILTER section.

FILTER
The filter section offers two different filter types to filter incoming audio
signals from the mixer. The filter is an OTA based 12dB/octave resonant
filter that offers four controls: CUTOFF, RESONANCE, EG AMT and
FILTER TYPE (hi-pass/low-pass). We will detail them one by one:
CUTOFF
The CUTOFF control sets the cutoff frequency. Frequencies (harmon-
ics) above (low-pass) or below (hi-pass) the cutoff frequency will be
attenuated with a curve of 12dB/oct.
RESONANCE
The RESONANCE control sets the amount of resonance the filter will
produce around the cutoff frequency. It “boosts” the amplitude of
harmonics around the cutoff frequency.
EG AMT
The EG AMT control sets the modulation amount/depth of the mod-
ulation envelope (MOD EG) to the CUTOFF parameter. The EG AMT is
polarized, which means that the modulation amount is zero when the
knob is in mid position, negative in counterclockwise position and pos-
itive in clockwise position.
TYPE
The filter type switch, switches between low-pass and hi-pass mode. In
low-pass mode the harmonics above the cutoff frequency are filtered off.
In hi-pass mode the harmonics below the cutoff frequency are filtered off.
