FILTER ENVELOPE
The filter envelope is trigged every time a FILTER-trig is received. This normally happens
when a key on the keyboard or one of the [TRIG] keys has been pressed, or played from
the sequencer or received over MIDI. The FILTER-trig can be controlled individually from
the sequencer, see section “TRIG TRACKS”, on page 58 for more information.
ATK (filter envelope attack) controls the attack of the filter envelope
DEC (filter envelope decay) controls the decay of the filter envelope
BOFS (filter base envelope offset) sets the value that will be added to the filter BASE
parameter. BOFS is controlled by ATK and DEC .
WOFS (filter width envelope offset) sets the value that will be added to the filter WDTH
parameter. WOFS is controlled by ATK and DEC .
•
To make a familiar “synth-bass” low pass filter bump each time the note is trigged,
set the WDTH to around 64, and turn up the WOFS to around 32. Then turn the
LPQ up until you get the amount of Low Pass filter Q you prefer.
FILTER TRACKING
The filter normally tracks the pitch of the note played. The high pass filter starts cutting two
octaves under the base pitch when the
BASE parameter is set to zero.
Both the BASE and the WDTH parameters rise one octave for eight steps. This exact lock-
ing of the filter to octaves is useful if you want to use high filter Q settings to be used for
pitch.
The filter tracking can be bypassed for the high pass and the low pass filter individually. You
find the controls for doing this under the KEY tab in the KIT>ASSIGN window, see section
“KEY TRACKING”, on page 40 for more information.
•
If you want to use the high pass filter Q as low frequency “loudness” boost, it is
good to turn off the filter tracking parameter HPF.
