Pulsar Massive’s filtering forms
Bell filters
Pulsar Massive's bell filters differ from the classic constant-Q bell filters found in most of today's
equalizers, in that the Bandwidth (ie, Q) also has an effect over gain:
With a fixed Gain amount, adjusting the bandwidth setting will vary the effective gain of the
filter. In other words, the actual gain amount of the bell filter can end up being different to
the value shown on the Gain knob.
When a band is modified from the curve, the vertical movements of the mouse are used to
define the gain of the band. However, when the Gain parameter thus modified reaches its
maximum (or minimum), and you continue to move the mouse vertically, it is the
Bandwidth of the filter that is modified in order to achieve higher effective gain values.
With a fixed Bandwidth amount, the Gain knob will not affect the width of a filter.
