Xerograph Deluxe

Owner’s Manual

The Xerograph Deluxe is a 4-pole resonant
lowpass   filter,   with   capabilities   to   sweep

the cutoff frequency of the filter using the
instrument's   playing   dynamics,   an

expression pedal, or both simultaneously. 

Controls

Frequency   knob:

   Sets   the   base   cutoff

frequency   of   the   filter.   When   using   an
expression   pedal,   this   knob   will   set   the

minimum   frequency   from   which   the
expression   pedal   will   sweep   (heel   down

position)   -   the   maximum   frequency   (toe
down position on the expression pedal) is

set by the Exp knob. 

When used as an envelope filter, this sets
the   base   frequency   from   which   the

dynamics will sweep up or down.
