The filter is a part in the Synthesizer, which creates the largest sound changes. The Sirius has
three types of filters, a 24db/oct - low pass, a 12 db/oct - low pass and a 12 db/oct - high pass. Low
pass filters depress the frequency area above the
. High pass filters are exactly
the opposite. The terms “12db/oct” and “24db/oct” describe the rolloff characteristics of the filter. A
filter with 12db is softer than a filter with 24db. You can try it out on the Sirius. An important
parameter of the filters is the
With the filter overdrive in connection with

you can create a distortion effect.
Filter sweep is a filter modulation. This can be accomplished by turning the Cutoff-
knob on the Sirius or by modulating the filter with the
or the
Extra type of
where the delay time is modulated. Depending on the delay time
and the feedback adjustment the flanger creates a spacious and suspended sound.
Every sound exists as partial tones, which determines its character. The
Formant- Modulation creates a movement of the partial tones. This can be used for a suspension or a
drastic change to the sounds.
The Sirius has a connection for a foot pedal. It has two functions. If the
is active you can hold the Arpeggio and transpose it by using the keys. The foot pedal should be
hooked up before turning on the Sirius.

This control is used to adjust the input sensitivity of the Analyze input (microphone
input). On a mixer desk it is used to adjust the incoming signals. If the control is adjusted to high,
distortion will occur.
A Gater effect causes rhythmic chopping of a sound, for example a pad sound.
With the groove function you can shift the beats of a running sequence to different extents.
Through this the rhythm starts to swing.

, IDs are needed to distinguish between
the several connected instruments. There is an ID for the manufacturer and the model number and
additionally a special Sirius-ID (which is the same as the system-channel), so you can connect more
than one Sirius.
