In a parallel conguration, the overdrive/distortion circuit—the Drive parameter—is always
wired after the oscillator mix stage—the Triangle—and before the lters. The lters receive
a mono input signal from the output of the overdrive circuit. The outputs of both lters are
mixed to mono via Filter Blend.

Filter 2
The Filter Blend parameter is available as a modulation target in the router. You can use manual
control sources, such as the modulation wheel, to change the lter blend; but the Filter Blend
target can also be used creatively, to rapidly switch or smoothly fade between the two lters.
You can also use velocity, or a combination of the Vector Envelope and Planar Pad as sources.
The latter allows for interesting lter control possibilities that evolve independently, or alongside
oscillator parameters that are also being controlled with the Vector Envelope.
Cross-fade between lters
m Drag the Filter Blend slider to cross-fade between the two lters when cabled in parallel.
If Filter Blend is set to the top position, you only hear the eect of Filter 1.
If Filter Blend is set to its lowest position, you only hear the eect of Filter 2.
In between these positions, the lters are cross-faded. You hear the eect of both lters.
You can also cross-fade the lters when they are cabled in series. In this situation, the
distortion—controlled by the Drive parameter—also needs to be considered, as this can be
positioned either before or in between the lters, depending on the Filter Blend setting you
choose.
Modulate Filter Blend with an LFO
1 Set up a modulation routing as follows: modulation target FltBlend, source LFO2.
2 Adjust the settings of LFO 2.
