Filter 1 parameters: page 3
Control Parameter Range Description
1 Filter Route Series, Parallel Places lters in Series or Parallel conguration
2 Drive 0.0-128.0 Drive amount
3 Vow Order (type =
Vowel only)
8 orders Changes formant order during frequency sweeps
4 Drive Route Pre, Post Drive placement in signal path
Filter Route
This setting species whether the lters operate
in Series or Parallel mode. When they are in Series,
Filter 1 always passes through Filter 2. When they
are in Parallel, sources can be routed so they pass
through only one of the lters or through both
lters in varying amounts (as described in Filter
Routing of Sources (p. 32)).
The setting is linked to the parameter on Mixer
page 3, edit eld 4; changing one also changes the
other.
Drive
To add extra warmth or grit to a patch, try
adjusting the Drive parameter. As the value climbs
the waveform begins to clip, and at the highest
settings the waveform can be radically distorted.
The Drive route setting determines the point at
which the overdrive is applied (see below).
When Filter 1 is selected on the top panel, the
Drive parameter is shared with the Drive / Morph
knob in the Filter Controls section.
Drive Route
There are two congurations for routing the
Drive eect: Pre or Post. The dierence is whether
the waveform is boosted before it hits the lter
or whether the lter output is boosted before it
reaches the Amp stage.
• Pre places the Drive eect between the
waveform and the lter.
• Post places the Drive eect after the lter.
Vowel Order
This parameter is only visible when the Vowel
lter type is selected. It provides eight dierent
arrangements of the vocal formants, ranging from
AEIOU to UIEAO. Combined with creative use of
the Cuto and Resonance parameters, nearly any
vowel or diphthong can be achieved.
Filter 2
Filter 2 is our adaptation of a classic 2-pole state-variable lter. True to form, Filter 2 can toggle between
two lter types: Low Pass / Band Pass / High Pass, and Low Pass / Notch / High Pass. Each provides a
perfect complement to Filter 1.
The filters can be used in Series or Parallel.
This setting is found on page 3 of Filter 1.

Control Parameter Range Description
1 Type LP-BP-HP, LP-NO-HP Selects lter type
2 Cuto 0.0-128.0 Cuto frequency
3 Morph 0.0-128.0 Adjusts lter: 0 = LP, 64 = BP or NO, 128 = HP, with
gradual changes
4 Resonance 0.0-128.0 Controls resonance or Q
