Body

SaxLab 2’s Body section is located in the middle of the instrument's Front
Panel above the Main section. The Body section contains a filter with three
controls that allow you to shape the overall timbre of the instrument.

RES (Resonance): The RES control is used to set the amount of emphasis
around the filter’s cutoff frequency. Higher settings create a more pronounced
peak in the signal while lower settings produce a flatter response.

FREQ (Frequency): The FREQ control is used to set the frequency at which
the filter begins to take effect. Higher settings produce brighter sounds while
lower settings result in darker sounds.

Bright (Brightness): The Bright control is used to set the brightness of the
instrument’s sound. Higher settings will produce a more strident tone, while
lower settings will produce a softer, cooler sound.
