262 Chapter 21 ES2
Filters
The ES2 features two dynamic filters which are equivalent to the Voltage Controlled
Filters (VCF) found in the world of analog synthesizers. The two filters are not identical.
Filter 1 features several modes: lowpass, highpass, bandpass, band rejection, peak.
Filter 2 always functions as a lowpass filter. Unlike Filter 1, however, Filter 2 offers
variable slopes (measured in dB/octave).
The Filter button bypasses (switches off) the entire filter section of the ES2. Disabling
the filters makes it easier to hear adjustments to other sound parameters, as the filters
always heavily affect the sound. If the word Filter is green, the filters are engaged.
Disabling the filters reduces processor load.
Series and Parallel Filter Signal Flow
You can rotate the entire (circular) filter segment of the ES2 user interface. Click the
button labelled Parallel or Series to do so. The label and position/direction of the filter
controls clearly indicate the current signal flow.
In the graphic displayed to the left, the filters are cabled in series. This means that the
signal of the Oscillator Mix section (Triangle) passes through the first filter, and then
this filtered signal passes through Filter 2—if Filter Blend is set to 0 (middle position).
See “Filter Blend: Cross-Fading the Filters” on page 263 for a detailed description of this
parameter.
