Filter
"Filter" is a "modulation" effect like chorus and flanger. However, it controls the
frequency response of a modulation source as well as the pitch. There are
various filter types and modulation sizes available for this.
Possible areas of application are synthesizer sounds (filter sweeps on pads) or
creative distortions of drumloops (e.g. for variations, fills, etc). With guitars you
can create typical 'wah' effects: either by tempo modulation or in a special
mode, modulation via the envelope curve. The decisive factor is the current
signal strength above the frequency set for the filter.
Filter parameters
Speed: The modulation
speed is set by note values ranging from 1/1 to 1/16
(even or dotted). Similar to analog delay, the tempo information is automatically
provided by the arrangement.
A peculiarity of the final position of the controller:
Tempo synchronization stops and modulation is controlled via the signal level.
Freq: This is the base frequency for modulating the filter, and generally takes
place above this frequency, i.e. the modulation increases the filter frequency.
