The Synth View

Figure 21: Synchronization of the oscillator.

The cutoff frequency and resonance of the filters can be modulated with

different modulation sources. The

Key

knob allows one to adjust the amount

of variation with the pitch signal from the keyboard while the

Env

knob is

a gain control applied to the signal received from the

Filter Env

module.

These parameters can also be modulated by the signal from the LFO using
the

Filter Freq

and

Filter Res

knobs on the

LFO

module.

Let’s now have a closer look at the different filter types available.

Resonant Low-Pass Filter

A low-pass filter is used to remove the higher spectral components of the
signal while leaving the lower components unchanged. The frequency at
which attenuation begins to take effect is called the

cutoff

frequency and

it is controlled using the

Frequency

knob. In a resonant filter, frequencies

located around the cutoff frequency can also be emphasized by an amount
called the

quality factor

Q-factor

of the filter as illustrated by Figure 22.

This parameter is adjusted using the

Resonance

knob. The higher the Q-

factor, the louder and sharper the response of the filter around the cutoff
frequency. When the Q-factor is set to 1 (

knob fully turned to the left),
