The included effect plug-ins
• 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
cutoff and resonance parameters, you can hear how your
filter patterns affect the sound source connected to Step-
Filter 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 Pat-
tern memories.
• To select new patterns you use the pattern selector.
New patterns are all set to the same step value by default.
Pattern Selector
Using pattern copy and paste to create
variations
You can use the Copy and Paste buttons below the pat-
tern selector to copy a pattern to another pattern memory
location, which is useful for creating variations on a pat-
tern.
• Select the pattern you wish to copy, click the Copy but-
ton, select another pattern memory location and click
Paste.
The pattern is copied to the new location, and can now be edited to cre-
ate variations using the original pattern as a starting point.
StepFilter parameters
Parameter/
Value
Description
Base Cutoff This sets the base filter cutoff frequency. Cutoff values
set in the Cutoff grid window are values relative to the
Base Cutoff value.
Base
Resonance
This sets the base filter resonance. Resonance values set
in the Resonance grid window are values relative to the
Base Resonance value. Note that very high Base Reso-
nance settings can produce loud ringing effects at cer-
tain frequencies.
Glide This will apply glide between the pattern step values,
causing values to change more smoothly.
Filter Mode This slider selects between lowpass (LP), bandpass (BP)
or highpass (HP) filter modes (from left to right respec-
tively).
Sync 1/1 to
1/32 (Straight,
Triplet or Dotted)
This sets the pattern beat resolution, i.e. what note values
the pattern will play in relation to the tempo.
Output Sets the overall volume.
Mix Adjusts the mix between dry and processed signal.
