The green area is being passed through the filter, whereas the red area is being rejected.
Now, RESONANCE comes into play. This parameter interacts with the CUTOFF
control. It will produce an emphasis around the cutoff-frequency zone. The
level here is boosted until the sound develops a characteristic enhancement.
At extreme settings the filter might even self-oscillate and generate a sound
by itself. By moving
CUTOFF , the working point of the resonance changes (and
therefore its sound) because the focused frequencies will also change.

This is how it works in practice: A lowpass filter will cut the higher
frequencies. This might sound profane but has developed into a
characteristic element of house- and dance-tracks. Here, intros,
breaks and build-ups are emphasized in their cumulative effect by
slowly opening or closing the filter in sync with the beat.
A highpass filter is well-suited for mash-ups in order to suppress
bass drums and basslines of a track, allowing it to be easier
combined with a second track. Sometimes, you may want to alter
this second track with a separate lowpass filter, too.
