Z-PLANE FILTER DESCRIPTIONS

F109

FG MajTrans4

This filter features a series of peaks tuned to the intervals found in a major
triad. Modulating the Morph Offset from 000 to 255 moves the ‘chord’ from
first to second inversion; the Frequency Tracking parameter can be used to
tune the chord over a range of several octaves. The effect is perhaps easiest
to hear applied to one of the noise waves. It also works well with the
RecrdScrch waves.

Morph:

Moves the ‘chord’ of resonant peaks from 1st to 2nd inversion.

Freq. Tracking:

Tunes the chord.

Transform 2:

Not used.

F110

Tam
Morph:

Sweeps frequencies from low to high. Try routing velocity or

mod wheel to Morph with offset at 255.

Freq. Tracking:

Designed for velocity control of volume & brightness.

Transform 2:

Controls brightness and depth.

Comments:

Designed to make interesting, dynamic tambourine sounds.

F111

HOTwell.4
Morph:

Sweeps frequency range.

Freq. Tracking:

Determines degree of frequencies accentuated.

Transform 2:

Not used.

Comments:

Works well with bell-like sounds.

F112

Bell.Waha
Morph:

Sweeps between flat and bell.

Freq. Tracking:

Provides key tracking to fix partials.

Transform 2:

More dissonance and effect.

Comments:

Morphing can pull bell-like sounds out of any sample.

Transform 2 adds more dissonance. This is best used with BellWahb
which has a similar action but uses different dissonant partials.

F113

Belwahb
Morph:

Sweeps between flat and bell.

Freq. Tracking:

Provides key tracking to fix partials.

Transform 2:

Controls dissonance and depth of effect.

Comments:

See BellWaha

F114

0>Bell-
Morph:

Sweeps from flat to dissonance.

Freq. Tracking:

Provides key tracking to fix dissonant partials.

Transform 2:

Increases bell-like effect, makes brighter, louder.

Comments:

To be used in conjunction with 0>Bell+. Morphing sweeps

partials downwards just away from harmonic values causing bell-like
effects.
