sOmE usAGE tiPs
Vocal-like timbres are easily obtainable via
ll, lb, or bb mode, with reso at 6–7 (just
below the oscillation threshold), and span set
between 2 and 4.
Notch modes are surprisingly most prominent
at the lowest positions of the reso knob, be-
cause high resonance narrows the notches
making them barely audible. An asymmetric
balance setting is particularly helpful in nl
and hn modes.
The tito switch has the most radical effect
at high positions of the reso knob. Very in-
teresting chaotic behaviour may be observed
in bh and hh modes, with tito switched to
xm, and reso is set to self-oscillation while
limiting the span knob to moderate settings.
Most of the settings are highly dependent on
each other, so we encourage wild exploration
to discover a plethora of sweet spots and rang-
es between the filter modes and resonance con-
figurations. As you will quickly discover, even
the least interesting signal can be brought to
life, fattened up, processed elegantly, or severe-
ly mangled beyond expectation! Have fun with
Belgrad, just as we do. •

LL
1.
double slope lowpass mode.
The frequency re-
sponse is near-flat for low frequencies. It offers a -12dB/
oct slope in the frequency range between peaks and a
more radical -24dB/oct slope for frequencies above the
second peak. With span turned to zero it behaves like a
classic 4-pole lowpass filter, and with span turned to the
max it behaves like a 2-pole lowpass filter.
LB
2.
l bandpass mode.
The characteristic is of a
2-pole lowpass, but the second core is operating in band-
pass mode thus offering an additional formant bump in
higher frequencies. Thanks to phase cancellation when
mixing the cores, there is an audible gap in the frequency
range between lower and higher peaks. For frequencies
above the higher peak, the response is -6dB/oct.
