General Operation
StepFilter can produce two simultaneous 16-step patterns for the lter cutoff and resonance
parameters, synchronized to the sequencer tempo.
The horizontal axis shows the pattern steps 1 to 16 from left to right, and the vertical axis
determines the (relative) lter cutoff frequency and resonance settings. The higher up on the
vertical axis a step value is entered, the higher the relative lter cutoff frequency or lter
resonance setting.
By starting playback and editing the patterns for the cutoff and resonance parameters, you can
hear how your lter patterns affect the sound source connected to StepFilter.
If Sync is deactivated, StepFilter allows you to trigger pattern steps individually via MIDI notes.
Setting Step Values
●
To enter a step, click in the pattern grid windows.
●
Individual step entries can be 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 are set at the
pointer position.
●
Change the value for a step by dragging it up or down.
●
Draw in a curve by clicking and dragging in the display.
Selecting New Patterns
● Patterns are saved with the project, and up to 8 different cutoff and resonance patterns can
be saved internally. Both the cutoff and resonance settings are saved together in the 8
pattern slots.
● Use the Pattern slots to select a new pattern. New patterns are all set to the same step value
by default.
StepFilter Parameters
Filter Type
Sets the lter type. A low-pass, a band-pass, and a high-pass lter are available.
Filter Mode
Allows you to choose between two lter modes. Classic mode is compatible with
previous versions of this plug-in. Modern mode provides an additional Hard Clip
parameter.
Mix
Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the wet signal.
Base Cutoff
Sets the base lter cutoff frequency. Values set in the Cutoff grid are relative to the
Base Cutoff value.
Base Resonance
Sets the base lter resonance. Values set in the Resonance grid are relative to the
Base Resonance value.
NOTE
Very high Base Resonance settings can produce loud ringing effects at certain
frequencies.
