Under the hood, there is quite a lot going on with the Gigmate v2’s filter.
However, from a user’s perspective, the filter functions like any other straight forward low pass filter.
If you are already familiar with synthesis, you won’t need to spend a long time reading this section.
If you are not already familiar with synthesis, We have provided a brief introduction to the subject of
filtering in Appendix #1. Before that, here’s a summary of the Gigmate v2 filter controls:
Key Tracking (1)
Key position can be assigned to affect filter cut-off using this switch. Set to ‘full’, higher keys will
open up the filter cut-off more than lower keys. The same applies when the switch is set to 1/2,
but the effect is less noticeable.
If either the filter’s cut-off slider or ‘env’ slider have a high setting, the effect of key tracking may
become unnoticeable, because the cut-off point will already be saturated.
