Comb Filter Sound Parameters
Damping
This is a 6 dB/oct low-pass filter that affects the sound being fed back into
the comb filters. This means the sound becomes gradually softer when
decaying, that is, high harmonics decay faster than the lower harmonics (as
when plucking a string on a guitar, for example).
• The lower the Damping, the more pronounced this effect.
If you open the filter completely (turn Damping up to max) the harmonic
content is static – the sound does not get softer when decaying.
Level
Determines the level of the impulse sound being fed into the comb filters. By
default, this parameter is modulated by envelope 2. That is, you use envelope
2 as a level envelope for the impulse sound.
• For a string-type sound, you want an envelope with a quick attack, a very
short decay and no sustain (an impulse in other words), but you can also
use other envelopes for other types of sounds.
Try raising the attack for example, or raising the sustain to allow the
impulse sound to be heard together with the comb filter sound.
Crackle
Allows you to send noise directly into the comb filters. Small amounts of noise
produce a crackling, erratic effect, higher amounts give a more pronounced
noise sound.
Feedback
Determines the amount of signal sent back into the comb filters (the feedback
level).
•Setting Feedback to zero (twelve o’clock) effectively turns off the comb
filter sound, as no feedback tone is produced.
•Setting Feedback to a positive value creates a feedback tone, with
higher settings generating longer decays.
•Setting Feedback to a negative value creates a feedback tone with a
more hollow sound, pitched one octave lower. Lower settings generate
longer decays.
