Filters

Filters overview

The purpose of the filter in a subtractive synthesizer is to remove portions of the signal—

the frequency spectrum—sent from the oscillators. After filtering, a brilliant-sounding

sawtooth wave can become a smooth, warm sound without sharp treble.

The filter sections of most subtractive synthesizers contain two primary controls known

as cutoff frequency—often abbreviated to cutoff—and resonance. Other common filter

parameters are drive and slope. The filter section of most synthesizers can be modulated

by envelopes, LFOs, the keyboard, or other controls such as the modulation wheel. See

Modulation overview.

Basic filter types

There are several basic filter types. Each has a different effect on various portions of the

frequency spectrum.

• Highpass filter: High frequencies are passed; low frequencies are attenuated.

• Lowpass filter: Low frequencies are passed; high frequencies are attenuated.

• Bandpass filter: Only frequencies within a frequency band are passed.

• Band reject filter: Only frequencies within a frequency band are attenuated. This filter

type is also known as a notch filter.

• Allpass filter: All frequencies in the spectrum are passed, but the phase of the output is

modified.

Cutoff frequency

The cutoff frequency, or cutoff, determines where the signal is cut off. Simpler

synthesizers have only lowpass filters. If a signal contains frequencies that range from 20

to 4000Hz and the cutoff frequency is set at 2500Hz, frequencies above 2500Hz are

filtered. The lowpass filter allows frequencies below the cutoff point of 2500Hz to pass

through unaffected.
