The mono output signal of Filter 2 is then fed into the input of the dynamic stage (the
equivalent of a VCA in an analog synthesizer), where it can be panned in the stereo
spectrum, and then fed into the effects processor.
In the graphic to the right, the filters are cabled in parallel. If Filter Blend is set to 0,
you’ll hear a 50/50 mix of the source signal routed via Filter 1 and Filter 2, which is fed
into the mono input of the dynamic stage. There it can be panned in the stereo
spectrum, and then fed into the effects processor.
Filter Blend: Cross-Fading the Filters
You can cross-fade between the two filters. When cabled in parallel, you’ll find this
quite obvious to look at and understand: If Filter Blend is set to its top position, you’ll
only hear Filter 1. If Filter Blend is set to its lowest position, you’ll only hear Filter 2. In
between these positions, the filters are cross-faded.
More often, you’ll want to cable the filters in series, where you can also cross-fade the
filters. This is achieved through the use of controllable side chains (bypassing lines). In
this serial cabling scenario, the distortion circuits controlled by the Drive parameter
also need to be considered, as the distortion circuits are positioned before, or in-
between the filters, dependent on Filter Blend.
Note: The Filter Blend parameter can be modulated dynamically in the Router!
