• Cut-off frequency (freq)
• Resonance (reso)
• Internal saturation (drive)
The filter can be set up separately or together with the link
button.
You can set up the cut-off frequency or the resonance of every channel as modulation
targets. Just like with CORVEX and ECOX, the small knobs on the lower row specify the
modulation level.
For the modulation source, in general the same applies as with the previously mentioned
effects. In addition, FILTOX provides you with the modulation of the filter section via an
envelope follower. Here the input signal itself serves as a modulator. This makes it possible
to use, for example, well-known "auto wah" sounds.
To use this envelope follower mode,
proceed as follows:
• In the modulation section press the
"env" button.
• The two small "gain" pots to the
bottom left serve to customize the
input level for setting the envelope.
The LEDs at the top no longer
show the LFO speed, but rather
serve as visual responses of the set
sensitivity.
• Usually the sensitivity is controlled in such a way that signal peaks bring about bright
lighting in the LEDs. If gain is set too low, you'd have to set the knobs to be
unnecessarily high for the modulation targets. If input levels are too high, the behavior
will not be noticeable. Additionally, the problem of overmodulation arises when the
detector circuitry of the envelope follower leads to inaccurate tracking as a result of
saturation. This tracking is also influenced by the following parameters:
• Knob "speed left & right": These help you set the LFO speed. In envelope mode on the
other hand, these can be used to set the attack & release of the envelope for each
channel. This means that minimum speed settings can lead to a quick increase of the
envelope, thereby bringing about quick access of the modulation. Since attack & release
are coupled settings, quick attacks correspond to short release values. This way the
control voltage for the filter drops more quickly than at middle or slower settings.
• You should adapt the speed as precisely as possible to the signal. Times that are too
short can lead to errors in tracking and to fluctuations, while times that are too long miss
short signal peaks. Internally, however, the detector works semi-automatically for release
time, so that the setting is less critical than with a purely manual method.
