Manual
We’ve left out the resonance parameter to keep the introduction to the SUNSYN’s filter as
simple as possible. We’ve also left out the filter envelope. Tweak the resonance knob and make
the sound change dynamically by using envelope1. Use the (env amount) parameter to set the
intensity of the envelope on the filter. (more details on the envelope in the next chapter).
The possibilities might seem a bit confusing at first. It’s not necessary however to understand
all the details in order to use the filter effectively. Experimenting also leads to endless useful
sonic variations. Not all settings will have a big effect or will be musically interesting. As always,
with the SUNSYN, we offer you all possibilities to create the biggest possible sonic potential
and to experiment for a long time. You have an exceptional ”filter toolbox“ at your disposal.
The Morph-Feature
There’s only one more filter feature to explain, and that’s the Morph feature. This feature
offers the possibility to morph two completely different filter settings (or snapshots)
continuously and dynamically into eachother. All of this happens (as with all of the SUNSYN’s
features) exclusively in the analogue domain.
The following features are affected by the Morph feature:
• VCF parameters: Cutoff, Resonance, Filter-Amount, Pole 1-4 and the High/Lowpass settings
(exept on pole 4).
• Envelope 1 parameters: Attack, Decay and Sustain
Try it out by loading a single sound, changing the filter settings and saving the edited version
into a filter Scene. The morph-knob let’s you morph between both settings. This is a very
handy tool during live-use! You only need one knob to change all relevant filter parameters.
Of course the morph knob can also be driven by a midi controller or by the modulation
wheel.
1. Load single sound, e.g. 255 ‘Initial Patch’.
2. Change its filter setting so the change is obvious.
3. Press the
(Scene 2)
-button. The changed filter setting is now saved as Scene 2.
4. Turn the
(Morph)
-knob. When turned fully anticlockwise, you’ll heard the original filter
setting. Turning it fully clockwise will morph it continuously into the edited setting.
5. Change the filter parameters once again.
6. Press the
(Scene 1)
-button.
The edited filter setting is now saved as Scene 1.
7. Turning the
(Morph)
-knob, will morph between both edited versions.
8. By loading the original single sound (or another one), the saved scenes are discarded and
removed from memory.
When both scenes have different Lowpass and Highpass pole settings, both the Lo- and the
Hi-LED of the corresponding pole will light. In the current Operating Software version,
morphing between such changes may create abrupt changes, due to the different settings of the
circuitry of those poles (and these are not continuous settings).
