TRACK EFFECTS
Monomachine SFX-6/60 USER’S MANUAL 29
The HPQ and LPQ parameter controls the filter quality “Q” parameters. The
HPQ and LPQ values control how much the volume is boosted around the
high-pass and low-pass filter cut off frequencies.
The ATK and DEC parameters control the Filter Envelope Attack and Delay
speeds. The BOFS and WOFS parameters control how much of the
envelop amount will be added to the filter Base and Width parameters.
The filter envelope is trigged every time a FILTER-trig is received. This nor-
mally happens when a key has been pressed on the keyboard or the
[TRIG] keys, or played from the sequencer or received over MIDI. The FIL-
TER-trig can be controlled individually from the sequencer, see section
“TRIG TRACKS” on page 48 for more information.
To make a familiar “synth-bass” low pass filter bump each time the
note is trigged, set the WDTH to around 64, and turn up the WOFS to
around 32. Then turn the LPQ up until you get the amount of Low
Pass filter Q you prefer.
FILTER TRACKING
The Filter normally tracks the pitch of the note played. The high pass filter
start cut two octaves under the base pitch when the Base parameter is set
to zero.
Both the Base and the Width parameters rise one octave for eight steps.
This exact locking of the filter to octaves is useful if you want to use high fil-
ter Q settings to be used for pitch.
The filter tracking can be bypassed for the high pass and the low pass filter
individually. You find the controls for doing this on the Key assign in the
Assign window, see section “KEY TRACKING” on page 38 for more infor-
mation.
If you want to use the high pass filter Q as low frequency “loud-
ness” boost, it is good to turn off the filter tracking parameter HPF.
