Chapter 6 Filter 71
Formant Filter Section
The parameters in this section control the frequency bands in the two filter
banks: Filter Bank A and Filter Bank B.
 Frequency band faders: Set the volume of each frequency band in Filter Bank A using
the upper (blue) faders, and set the volume of each frequency band in Filter Bank B
using the lower (green) faders.
You can easily create complex bar curves by dragging horizontally across either row
of faders. This method makes editing multiple frequency band levels quick and
convenient.
 Frequency bar and fields: The blue bar above the upper row of faders controls the
overall frequency range for both filter banks. Drag the bar to move the entire
frequency range, drag the left end to move only the lower frequency (between 75
and 750 Hz), or drag the right end to move only the upper frequency (between 800
and 8000 Hz). You can also edit the numerical values above the bar directly (between
80 and 8000 Hz).
 Formant Shift knob: Moves the position of all bands in both filter banks up or down
the frequency range. You can jump directly to the values –0.5, –1, 0, +0.5 or +1.0 by
clicking one of these numbers on the edge of the knob.
 Bands value field: Sets the number of frequency bands in each filter bank. The range
is from 5 to 20 bands.
Note: Increasing the number of bands also increases the CPU overhead.
 Lowest button: Sets whether the lowest band of each filter bank acts as a lowpass or
bandpass filter.
 Resonance knob: Controls the basic sonic character of both filter banks. Increasing
the Resonance emphasizes the middle frequency of each band. Low settings give a
softer character, while high settings give a sharper character.
