Resonance

The

Resonance

control

adds gain to the signal in a narrow band of frequencies around the

frequency set by the

Frequency

control. It can accentuate the swept-filter effect considerably.

Increasing the resonance parameter is very good for enhancing modulation of the cut-off

frequency, creating a very edgy sound. Increasing

Resonance

also accentuates the action of

the

Frequency

control, giving it a more pronounced effect. At high settings, it can induce self-

oscillation within the filter section, adding a characteristic whistling effect to the sound.

Filter Key Tracking

The cut-off frequency of the filter can be made to “track” the pitch of the note being played.

This is controlled from

Key Tracking View

, which is opened by pressing

Shift

and

Osc 1

together. The pad grid looks like this:

Pad for current setting is brightly lit.

Default is Pad 3 (30%).

Pad 1 is lit red to

indicate Key

Tracking = Off

Only the top row of the grid is active in this View. Press one of Pads 1 to 8 to select the degree

of Filter Key tracking required, according to the table:
