Filter 2 Types
Filter 2 provides two lter types, each with Low
Pass and High Pass modes to process the high
and low frequencies. The major dierence is what
happens in the middle, as Morph approaches a
value of 64:
• Band Pass emphasizes the middle frequencies,
in a range dened by the Resonance setting.
• Notch reduces the middle frequencies, in a
range dened by the Resonance setting.
The dierences are more pronounced with higher
resonance values. You’ll also notice that the Band
Pass and Notch lters aect the Low Pass and
High Pass modes dierently as you sweep the
lter frequency. Between these two lter types the
Hydrasynth can achieve an astonishing variety of
sounds.
Morph
This parameter adjusts the lter between its
various states, with a Low Pass lter at one
extreme, a High Pass lter at the other, and a
Band Pass or Notch lter at the middle setting.
Along the way there are hundreds of intermediate
settings. As the value changes, a graphic indicates
the lter character.
When Filter 2 is selected on the top panel, the
Morph parameter is shared with the Drive / Morph
knob in the Filter Controls section.
The rest of the Page 1 parameters are identical in
function to the same parameters in Filter 1 (Cuto,
Resonance, ENV 1 amount, LFO 1 amount, Velocity,
and Keytrack). Please refer to Filter 1 parameters:
page 1 (p. 33) for their descriptions.
Filter 2 parameters: page 2
Control Parameter Range Description
1 ENV 1 amount +/- 64.0 Sets amount & polarity of Env 1 eect on lter
2 LFO 1 amount +/- 64.0 Sets amount & polarity of LFO 1 eect on lter
3 Vel Env +/- 64.0 Allows velocity to set maximum range of lter envelope
4 Keytrack +/- 200% Scales lter response across keyboard; C2 = center note
Set up mod routes quickly from an Envelope or LFO to the Filter: Hold the module button for
the desired source, then press the module button for the destination.
