The Filter Section (VCF) 

 

The Pulse 2 offers a multimode filter. 

w

 

A detailed introduction of the filters can be found 
in  the  chapter  "Sound  Synthesis  Basics"  of  this 
manual. 

w

 

We  recommend  to  tune  the  filter  periodically  to 
ensure  settings  reliability.  Read  more  about  this 
in the chapter "Utility Menu". 

Cutoff                                                          

0...127

 

Cutoff the frequency for the lowpass and highpass filter 
type and the center frequency for the band pass. 

 

When the lowpass type is selected via the 

Type

 

switch,  all  frequencies  above  the  cutoff  fre-
quency are progressively damped. 

 

When the highpass type is selected, all frequen-
cies below the cutoff frequency are damped. 

 

When  the  bandpass  type  is  selected,  only  fre-
quencies  near  the  cutoff  setting  will  passed 
through. 

You can bring more movement into the sound by modu-
lating the cutoff frequency via the LFO, the envelope or 
the 

Keytrack

  parameter  of  the  filter.  At  100%  Key-

tracking and maximum 

Resonance

 level, the then self-

oscillating filter can be played in a tempered scale. 

Resonance 

0...127

 

Resonance is the emphasis around the corner frequency. 
Use lower values to give more brilliance to a sound. At 
higher  values  a  sound  gets  the  typical  filter  character 
with a strong boost around the cutoff frequency. When 
the setting is raised to maximum, the filter starts to self-
oscillate, generating a pure sine wave. This feature can 
be  used  to  create  analog-style  effects  and  percussion, 
like electronic toms, kicks, zaps etc. 

ENV F Mod 

-64...+63

 

(= Envelope Mod Amount). Sets the amount of influence 
the  envelope  has  on  the  cutoff  frequency.  For  higher 
settings,  the  filter  cutoff  frequency  is  increased  by  the 
modulation  of  the  envelope.  Use  this  parameter  to
