Depth: This control determines the modulation depth, i.e. the amount by which
the speed control (or envelope mode, as described above) increases the base
frequency. For extreme effects, turn “Freq” all the way to the left and “Depth”
all the way to the right.
Filter modes
Low-pass
A filter with a slope of 24 dB/octave and a small
amount of resonance. The treble frequencies above
the base frequency (cut-off frequency) are filtered
steeply. This is great for filter sweeps on synth pads
and drum loops.
Band-pass
Only the frequencies around the base frequency are
passed through the filter (24 dB slope with
resonance). Use this mode to create wah-wah effects
for guitars.
Band
elimination
(„Notch-Filter")
Two parallel filters (–36 dB) with linked base
frequencies create two ‘notches’ in the frequency
spectrum. This allows you to create interesting sounds
(e.g. guitar chords), and it sounds similar to a phaser.
High-pass
This mode achieves the opposite effect to the low-
pass filter. Frequencies below the base frequency are
filtered steeply. If you ‘thin out’ sections of your track
(for example, a drum track) with a tempo-based
modulation, this can sound very effective when
contrasted with the full-range frequency spectrum (for
example, if the filter is turned off for the next object).
