Introduction Thank you for purchasing the 914 Fixed Filter Bank (hereafter referred to simply as “914”), Audio Damage’s plug-in emulation of the Moog 914 Fixed Filter Bank module. This plug-in creates a variety of tonal effects by passing its input signal through twelve band-pass filters, one low-pass filter and one high-pass filter. The relative output levels of these filters can be adjusted independently, creating peaks and dips in the frequency spectrum of the signal.
System Requirements To use 914, you'll need a Steinberg VST-compatible host application, preferably conforming to the VST 2.0 specifications, and a computer capable of running it. For the AudioUnit version of 914, you’ll need an application capable of hosting AudioUnit plug-ins, and a computer capable of running it. The following specifications represent minimum requirements. For use with Microsoft Windows: For use with Apple Macintosh: Windows NT, 2000, or XP Mac OS X version 10.3.
Operation Like its hardware predecessor, the 914 plug-in is simple to operate. There are no mysterious modulators, no critical level-dependent settings, no hidden windows or menus. Just turn the knobs until you like the way it sounds. Simple, eh? If you’d like a more detailed explanation of what it does, read on. We assume that you are familiar with using plug-ins with your particular host. If you have general questions about using VST or AudioUnit plug-ins with your host, please refer to its documentation.
pass filters. Each knob is labeled with the center frequency of its filter. The frequencies are 125, 175, 250, 350, 500, 700, 1000, 1400, 2000, 2800, 4000, and 5600Hz. Each knob controls the loudness of signal content with frequencies near these center frequencies. 3. The HIGH PASS knob controls the level of the output of the high-pass filter. The high-pass filter’s corner frequency is 8000Hz, so this knob controls the loudness of all signal content with a frequency of 3800Hz or above.
6. The DRY LEVEL knob controls the amount of the original, unfiltered input signal that is present in the output of the plug-in. If the knob is rotated fully counter-clockwise, the signal is attenuated by 80dB, which makes the original signal inaudible. As you rotate the knob clockwise, more and more of the unfiltered input signal is mixed into the output signal. If the knob is rotated fully clockwise, the input signal is passed to the output without any reduction.
To assign a different MIDI controller to a control, repeat the same procedure using a different controller. To cancel MIDI Learn mode without assigning a controller, hold down the SHIFT and CTRL keys (SHIFT and CMD keys on a Mac) and click in any empty area in 914’s window (i.e., don’t click on another control). The white box will disappear.
