FILTER section:
30
Shape – this button steps through three lter characteristics: low-pass (LP), band-pass (BP)
or high-pass (HP).
31
Slope – toggles between two lter slopes: sets the slope of lter outside the passband to
12dB or 24dB per octave.
32
Frequency
–
large rotary knob controlling the lter’s cut-off frequency (LP or HP), or its
centre frequency (BP).
33
Resonance
–
adds resonance (an increased response at the lter frequency) to the lter
characteristic.
34
Overdrive
–
adds a degree of pre-lter distortion to the mixer output.
35
Bypass
–
By default, the lter affects all components of the synth’s sound, but its effect on
the Osc 2 and Noise signals may be overridden with the Bypass button, which steps through
the two sources both individually and together.
DISTORTION section:
36
Type – distortion is applied after the lter section. This button steps through three distortion
types (I, II and III). Type I produces the distortion used in Bass Station II, Type II is a fuzz type
distortion. Type III is a combination of the two.
37
Level –adjusts the amount of distortion.
MODULATION MATRIX:
38
Source – this button steps through the four modulation sources available to the matrix: the
Envelope generator (Env), the LFO (LFO), the Modulation Sequencer (Seq) and velocity (Vel).
39
Destination – six buttons selecting the eight modulation destinations: Pitch and PWM
(Pulse Width Modulation) refer to the two main oscillators, the colour of the internal LED
indicating which oscillator is currently selected by the Track buttons
5
. Other destinations are
VCA Level (Amp), Filter frequency (Filter), distortion amount (Dist) and the level of the Aux CV
output (Aux CV).
40
Depth
–
adjusts the degree of modulation applied to the selected destination by the
selected source. Note that matrix settings are additive: you can apply any combination of
sources to any combination of destinations, with different Depth settings.
