RHYTHM DESIGNER RD-8 User Manual

10.  Analog Filter

The Analog Filter section works on selected sounds routed via an audio bus fed 

from the Wave Designer circuit.
The CUTOFF control sets the frequency where the filter is applied. The filter cut off 

can be programmed and automated (when the ON button is flashing, automation 

is active).
When the HPF (High Pass Filter) button is engaged the filter cuts the the low 

frequency cutoff point as you turn the control CW. When the HPF button is not 

engaged, the CUTOFF knob defaults to a lo-pass filter (LPF), which gradually cuts 

the high frequencies as you turn the control CCW.
Press the ON button to activate the filter circuit.
The RESONANCE control adjusts the resonance of the filter. Turning CW adds a 

peak at the cutoff frequency that accents the surrounding frequencies.
The filter CUTOFF control setting can be recorded as automation. After 

programming a pattern, add the voice or voices you wish to be processed by the 

Analog Filter and Wave Designer bus as described earlier in this manual. Next, 

while the pattern is playing and in Record Mode, rotate the CUTOFF knob and 

listen to the results. Once you are happy with your filter sweep exit Record Mode. 

Next time you play the pattern, the recorded filter sweep will play back.

Live Filter Mode can be toggled on and off, and this toggling action gives you 

either manual control of the filter frequency or automated Filter Mode, which 

uses the stored filter automation data. The live Filter Mode can be toggled on and 

off by holding the TAP/HOLD button and pressing the filter ON button to activate 

different states: 

• • 

Flashing filter ON button= Filter plays stored automation data

• • 

Solid filter ON button = Filter in live control mode

At any time, you can drop into Record Mode and adjust the filter settings that will 

be stored with the current pattern, as long as the filter settings are set to Pattern 

(see SETTINGS 11.5 below).
It is also possible to manually program the filter per step or to edit a recorded 

filter sweep.
1.  Press SETTINGS.
2.  Press FILTER (STEP BUTTON 6).
3.  Pressing different step keys (1-64) will display the current filter position from 

0, turn the DATA control counter clockwise (CCW) to 255 turn clockwise (CW). 

Depending on which filter setting is in use, HPF or LPF, the filter will be fully 

open or closed. Up to 64 steps can be programmed using the <</>> keys in 

the LENGTH section to navigate step position.

4.  Press SETTINGS twice to exit.
5.  Save PATTERN.

The diagram below shows the audio routing of the voices as they pass through 

the RD-8. Only one voice is shown in this example, but the same process applies 

to all voices.
