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.
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).
