Morphology
The best and ultimately the only way to choose filters is to try them out.
UltraProteus is no mere mortal synthesizer with a single filter. UltraProteus has
288 filter types to choose from. Think of the filters as you do instruments:
entities which have a particular sound. As you learn what the instrument and
the filters sound like, you can mix and match them to suit your needs.
A flanger filter (which is a parametric EQ with closely-spaced notches)
sounds like a traditional flanger when swept. If the frequency of the flanger
is controlled by key velocity and not swept, the flanger can simulate
different plucks on a string or strikes on a surface such as a cymbal.
The need for Keyboard Tracking is reduced when using a parametric EQ
since the high frequencies are preserved (unlike a lowpass filter).
Time-variant filter sweeps are good for traditional synthesizer effects such
as resonant sweeps, flanges, phasing, stereo panning, vowels, etc. Time-
invariant filters are useful for distortion, simulating instrument reso-
nances, plucked strings, cymbals strikes, etc.
Correlate the DCA envelope to emphasize or minimize parallel filter
attack and release characteristics.
Try using vibrato (LFO to pitch) with vocal filters for more realistic vocal
simulations.
Velocity and Key Number generally alter the timbre in expressive presets.
Also, Harder (faster) usually equals Brighter.
Natural sounds tend to use low Q filters.
Fixed Formant Filters:
Can reduce the unwanted effect of pitch shifting the samples
(munchkinization).
Simulate instrument body resonances
Simulate cymbal strikes, with variation in the stick position
Simulate woodwind instrument resonance
Simulate guitar and string plucks with variation in pick position
Swept Filters:
Simulate flangers
Can be used for traditional synthesizer lowpass filter effects
Can pick individual harmonics out of complex sounds
