• To set up the contour, click in one of the displays and drag the mouse to draw
a curve. This produces the inverse contour in the other display, for maximum
sonic versatility.
To set up the contour independently for the two filters, hold down [Shift] and
click and drag the mouse in either display.
• Use the Preset pop-up menu to select a preset contour.
• If you want to calculate a random spectrum filter curve, you can choose the
Randomize function from the Preset pop-up menu.
Each time you choose this function, a new randomized spectrum appears.
Waveform Pop-up Menu
The pop-up menu at the bottom of the waveform section (the central box at the top
of the panel) allows you to select a basic waveform to be sent through filter contour
A. The options are especially suited for use with the spectrum filter.
Cut
Offsets the frequency of the filter contour, working somewhat like a cutoff
control on a standard synth filter. To use the filter contour in its full frequency
range, set Cut to its maximum value.
Morph
Adjusts the mix between the two signal paths: waveform A spectrum contour
A and waveform B spectrum contour B.
Coarse
Offsets the pitch for the impulse sound. In a typical string setup, when the
impulse sound is very short, this does not change the pitch of the final sound,
but the tonal color.
Raster
This removes harmonics from the impulse sound. As the harmonic content of
the impulse sound is reflected in the comb filter sound, this changes the final
timbre.
