Now, let's try some Filter-type effects.
Select HPF for FX(1), LPF for FX(2) and LFO Filter for FX(3) from the parameter as shown in Figure 2-7.
Figure 2-7 Effect type settings
Let's try some Filter effects in the parameters of Filter operation mode unchanged from the above section.

Filter operation mode = LFO
Most of the effects' sound disappears as soon as the Pad is pressed and they are not usable.
As described before, when Combo FX is activated, both Filter (HPF) and an effect are activated all at once.
This is why Combo FX does not make sense when selecting Filter-type effect.
Then, how can we use Filter-type effects in Combo FX?
You can use them if you properly adjust parameters.
Now, let's change parameters of FX level as well as those of Filter operation mode.
The default value of FX level parameters are all set to 100, but let's change them as in the table below.
The parameters can be changed in Utilities Mode 2.
Pad1
Filter operation mode = Off
FX level = Level 75
Pad2
Filter operation mode = Off
FX level = Level 50
Pad3
Filter operation mode = Off
FX level = Level 50
Pad5
Filter operation mode = Off
FX level = Level 100
Pad6
Filter operation mode = Off
FX level = Level 75
Pad7
Filter operation mode = Off
FX level = Level 100

Launch Serato DJ and prepare the controller for Combo FX.
Let's press all the Pads you newly set to hear how they sound like.
It would be good to select FX BEATS at 2.
I hope you can hear how the effects in different settings sound like.
