Freq:
You can specify the cut-off frequency of the filter using "Freq". Filtering starts
above this frequency.
Reso:
The signal in the area around the cut-off frequency can be strongly elevated to
just below self-oscillation. Sharp, cutting sounds are possible at this level, and
the effect becomes even clearer when you vary the cut-off frequency.
Drive:
Both of the individual filters of the connections mentioned above have the
ability to overmodulate themselves internally. With the "Drive“ dial, you can
regulate the amount of overmodulation. The more you turn this dial up, the
more the signal is overmodulated. In this case, the parameters of the internal
workings of the filter interact with one another. Increasing drive weakens the
resonance, but, at the same time, the signal gets more volume, more bass and
becomes acoustically fuller.
Note: The two smaller dials from this section are explained under "Modulation".
"Modulation" section
You can automate your effects via the settings in the modulation section.
Here, you’ll find the so-called low frequency oscillator (LFO), which resonates
with adjustable speed. You can influence the speed and type of resonance.
To influence the resonance, use the two small dials in both the reduction and
filter areas. These four dials display modulation targets.
Example: You’ve left the dial for the sample rate at its default setting. Change
the small dial beneath from its middle position to either side. The modulation
for the dial value is added to the sample rate: The LFO now controls these
parameters proportionately and the sample rate reduction resonates at this
modulation.
You can use this technique on other dials as well. You just have to make sure
that the main dial isn’t turned up to full, because then the modulation wouldn’t
have any effect. The modulation is always added to the set value.
