the Multi filter applies three resonant peaks with control-
lable center frequencies.
the
•
freq
knob is used for controlling the center fre-
quency of the peaks.
the
•
reS
knob is used for controlling the resonance . a
setting of zero will produce no feedback which means
the Multi filter will have no effect to the sound.
the
•
SloPe
button is used for setting the character of
the filter.
The Multi filter is best perceived with keyboard track-

ing (

) turned off.

the Vocal filter uses two resonant peaks to give the sound
an adjustable vowel character.

Filter Frequency
(freq

the Filter Frequency is used for setting the cutoff frequen-
cy point - where in the frequency range the filter begins to
process frequencies.

the Image above illustrates three different Filter Frequency
settings using a low pass filter.
For the Multi Mode filters, the function of
•
freq
knob
varies. Please refer to the section on Filter Types on
the previous pages for more information.
Filter Resonance (
reS
knob)
Filter resonance is used to emphasize frequencies around
the Filter Frequency, making the sound thinner. Further
raising the Filter resonance will make the sound resonant
to a point where the filter adds a ringing quality to the
sound. Exactly where in the frequency spectrum this “ring-
ing” occurs, depends on the setting of the Filter Frequency.
range: 0.0 - 10.0
The functionality of the
•
reS
knob varies depending
on the selected filter type. Please refer to the sec-
tion on Filter Types on the previous pages for more
information.
Keyboard Tracking (
kB trAck
button)
Keyboard tracking is used for adjusting the Filter Fre-
quency cut-off point depending on where in the keyboard
range you play.

this is related to basic acoustics; if you raise the pitch of a
waveform, the harmonics will also increase in frequency. If
the cutoff frequency is constant, the sound will be per-
ceived as getting “muddier” the higher up the keyboard
you play.
This function is adjusted in a frequency/octave
•
relationship. A setting of 1 means that the cutoff
frequency is moved one octave for every octave you
play from the C2 key.
With
•
kB trAck
disabled, the Filter Frequency cutoff is
constant regardless of where on the keyboard you play.
With
•
kB trAck
enabled, the Filter Frequency cutoff will
be higher for higher notes, and lower for lower notes.
the point of reference is the key of C2.
With
•
kB trAck
at the maximum setting of 1, the cutoff
frequency will track the keyboard in a 1:1 relationship.
