“Filter” category.
DualFilter
This effect filters out certain frequencies while allowing
others to pass through.
The following parameters are available:
StepFilter
StepFilter is a pattern-controlled multimode filter that can
create rhythmic, pulsating filter effects.
General operation
StepFilter can produce two simultaneous 16-step patterns
for the filter cutoff and resonance parameters, synchronized
to the sequencer tempo.
Setting step values
• Setting step values is done by clicking in the pattern
grid windows.
• Individual step entries can be freely dragged up or down
the vertical axis, or directly set by clicking in an empty grid
box. By click-dragging left or right, consecutive step entries
will be set to the pointer position.
Setting filter cutoff values in the grid window.
• The horizontal axis shows the pattern steps 1–16 from
left to right, and the vertical axis determines the (relative)
filter cutoff frequency and resonance setting.
The higher up on the vertical axis a step value is entered, the higher the
relative filter cutoff frequency or filter resonance setting.
• By starting playback and editing the patterns for the cut-
off and resonance parameters, you can hear how your filter
patterns affect the sound source connected to StepFilter
directly.
Selecting new patterns
• Created patterns are saved with the project, and up to 8
different cutoff and resonance patterns can be saved in-
ternally.
Both the cutoff and resonance patterns are saved together in the 8 Pattern
memories.
• To select new patterns you use the pattern selector.
New patterns are all set to the same step value by default.

Parameter Description
Position This parameter sets the filter cutoff frequency. If you set
this to a negative value, DualFilter will act as a low-pass
filter. Positive values cause DualFilter to act as a high-
pass filter.
Resonance Sets the sound characteristic of the filter. With higher
values, a ringing sound is heard.
